Driver guides for sightseeing tours in Vienna

Vienna - Viennese guides offer their servicesSmall groups (up to a maximum of eight people) have the possibility of booking sightseeing minibus tours and limousine tours with our very nice Viennese driver guides. To hire a driver guide is a cost-effective option compared to hiring an experienced and certified Viennese guide, but the driver guides must not be confused with our certified guides who provide you with high-quality explanations. Whereas a Viennese guide should attend a two-year degree course and pass a very complicated national-level exam before having the possibility of working as a certified guide, the professional training of the driver guides is rather perfunctory. These driver guides are first-rate minibus or rental car drivers and in order to become a guide, they have attended a vocational training via City Tours Vienna about the main Viennese sights. Our driver guides have a thorough knowledge of the Viennese city and have developed a sound experience of their jobs over the years, working as a driver guide for parties as well as for individual tourists. However, the driver guides have not the same skill level in foreign languages or in history as the certified guides, and thus they are not able to offer you theme sightseeing tours or special sightseeing tours, but only a panoramic tour when you want to explore the Viennese city for the very first time.

The driver guides of Vienna city tours provide you with the following services:
