“Harry was an excellent guide, one of the best we’ve had across several food tours in different countries. He was personable and funny, and planned the tour in a way that allowed participants to have enough of everything without overeating part way through. His pairings were excellent, and every stop was a different aspect of Viennese culinary culture. He supplied guests with handouts of personal recommendations before the tour was over to ensure that we had ideas of where to continue our tour of Austrian cuisine. We would recommend this as a great option early in someone’s schedule to learn what to eat and get a lay of the city!”
