This is a very good tour to start your time in Vienna. We did it as soon as we arrived. Our guide (Dace) was very knowledgable and lovely. It is an "overview" so you are walking around and seeing the heart of the city and where things are. You still should book (in addition) whatever you are also specifically interested in (such as Sisi Museum, Welt Museum, Imperial Palace, Spanish Riding School etc.)
