The guide was professional and knowledgeable. I didn't like the fact that she made references to Russia and Putin because, me, as person living in an EU country next to Ukraine I am really fed up with the subject. I understand that she doesn't like that big & mean country because she is Latvian, but keep your politics at home.

Dace was a superb guide. Her knowledge and the choice of streets and places to guide us was very interesting. She took us away from some of the most crowded streets, and had many good stories she communicated with a good sense of humor. She defenitely knew Vienna and the Austrian history,also regarding presentsituation. Abosultely "a must do". Nico
