    Food Tour with Lukas!
    Lukas was a really fun guide and we learned a lot! Got to try some unique foods, walk through the Inner Stadt, and hear about his time as a chef, get some of his recommendations for other food places to try, etc.

    Amazing Foodie Tour
    We had a amazing food tour of Vienna! We traveled with a group of Chefs from New York and where looking for that real food/wine experience that is not geared to tourists. We really got to the off the path foodie locations. Our guide new exactly where to take us and we ate and drank so much. Amazing experience and would highly recommend this company.

    We like to do food tours in every city we visit, but this tour by Lukas was the most fun and delicious tour we’ve ever done. Lukas is very knowledgeable and funny

    Great experience!
    Our guide Lukas and the tour was great! It was good to also try other food besides schnitzel that wasn't on our radar, and to hear about the history of food in Vienna.

    Nice guide, nice plces but not so much food
    Our guide Lukas, the owner, is a former chef in Vienna snd knows his food and way around. We started with a local meat load that was quite delicious, then headed to a small candy shop. We did small sandwiches with beer, the ham tasting, fine handmade chocolate for dessert and then som wine in a really cool place. I really liked that it was only 2,5 hours instead of the usual 4 hours. What we had was good, but my stomach was far from full. I missed the traditional schnitzel and the traditional wurst being served. All in all a good tour, but yeah. It could have been more food.

    Great local shops and restaurants
    Lukas was a great guide. He only went to traditional family run places and there was lots of stops. You definitely won't need much breakfast or lunch if you pick this tour.

    Tasty Tour & Great Personality!
    Our host (a former Chef) created a an authentic culinary experience- delicious!! It is best described as a “not to miss” walking - food tour adventure. His background as a Chef provided a level of detail that added a unique narrative to each location. His sense of humor and local knowledge made for a cinematic experience. We had 48 hours in Vienna and so glad we added this to our itinerary.

    The tour was very enjoyable. Lucas was very knowledgeable and the wines chosen to present were lovely. The pace of the tour was well timed and the chosen venues were all special in their own way. Would recommend to others. Thanks Lucas.

This was an outstanding tour. Harry did an amazing job of helping us experience the food culture in Vienna without focussing on all the well known foods most of us had already tried. The timing was perfect, the amount of food worked well, and Harry's knowledge and

This was our first trip to Vienna and we are so glad that we booked the food tour at the beginning of our visit This set the scene and provided us with valuable information regarding the local food scene and more importantly where to to experience real Viennese food and traditions without being ripped of as a tourist. Lukas was a fantastic host who made us feel extremely welcome from the beginning of the tour. He gave us fantastic recommendations of local places to eat and drink and acting on those recommendations we were highly delighted when we visited those places. Lukas has a wonderful sense of humour and made the tour a real pleasure to be a part of.

Fantastic food tour! I loved Harry’s (the owner and tour guide!) understanding and passion for the Vienna food culture. Coffee, pastries, cheeses, breads, sweets, meats, wines, chocolates…he knew so much and was such a great tour guide. I have gone on many food tours - this one was a great one. I would do again!

The tour was barely a tour. We had some bread, some cheap meat and some chocolate samples. The highlight if you want to call it that, is the guide takes you to his private wine cellar where you get to try two $10 bottles of wine. Do not take this tour. Really not worth the money and/or time. Nice guy but no history or information and it felt like you were getting a few free samples of food you could have received on your own by walking in any shop in Vienna. Bummer - we have done food tours before and they have been great, so we were exited to try this one...

We had a great time with Lucas on this food tour. We were lucky to be the only guests, so it felt like a private tour. He was funny, spoke perfect English, and has deep experience in the Vienna food scene. We have taken food tours in a dozen countries, and this one was well done. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

I booked this tour for my husband and I over a month in advance. Sounded like so much fun that we booked other day trips around it. Today we arrived for our tour, with tickets confirming today’s date, meeting time and place. No one showed so I called Classic Food Tour of Vienna and they told me today is a holiday in Vienna, businesses are closed (that’s true except all restaurants are open)so I don’t have a tour today. Why did they accept my booking over a month ago, along with $227, if there was no tour today because it’s a holiday? When I asked them about it he just said call Trip Advisor.
Called them, actually much searching on Trip Advisor, found I needed to contact Viator, and after them trying to get me to reschedule this tour, no way, Viator finally got the ok from Classic Food Tours of Vienna, to refund my $227. There are other food tours in Vienna, don’t book this one.

Wish I had thoroughly read the reviews before booking. Just to preface, my husband and I have been on over 20 food tours around the world. We were the only 2 people on the tour. We've never been on an empty food tour, which was our first red flag. This was our least favorite host of all time. Lukas was rude, arrogant, and short with us. From the first stop he said he couldn't explain any history and we had to read it ourselves. Ugh OK?!? Which is very different from any other food tour. The cheeses we tried were disgusting. Only the cow milk one was edible. He questioned me why I only took a bite and gave it to my husband to eat. Which I found very uncomfortable. Other guides have not been this offended by guests not eating. Lukas does not like tourists he constantly made negative comments about tourists and touristy activity, also saying that the Muslim population in the market would sell their own mother if they could. Very uncalled for commentary. We told him we were going to a music / waltz event and he rolled his eyes and covered his face in disappointment. When he asked us if we knew much about wine he made us feel stupid about the knowledge we did know. We tried to blame cultural differences, but in all honesty he was extremely rude. When he asked what restaurants he worked at as a chef he said there was no point in telling us. Seriously??!?! What if we're looking for a recommendation. Tour was supposed to be 4 hours, it was barely 3 hours. He made us feel dumb the whole time. He was extremely difficult to talk to. He should stick to being a chef where being arrogant is acceptable, hospitality is not his forte. Save your money on this over priced tour! Luckily Vienna's food saved this tour. As nice Americans we thanked Lukas for the tour and tipped him. But we'll always keep our honesty to online reviews.

I have done many food tours all over the world and this was the least enjoyable one. The food itself was fine but the tour guide, Lukas, just seemed genuinely annoyed by tourists, including us. He made disparaging comments about tourists throughout the time we spent with him. There was definitely and edge and attitude; I don’t think he enjoys his job much.
He told us he could not talk about or answer questions about history which surprised us as it has not been typical of our food tour experiences, but ok, rules are rules and I understand. In practice though, he wouldn’t answer questions about...anything, history or not. “What is that building over there?” and he would just stare at you. It was actually fairly awkward/uncomfortable. One stop was in a very interesting wine cellar; we asked “what was this cellar used for originally?” To which he answered curtly “didn’t you read the sign?” (I guessed we missed the sign at the entrance?)...and then didn’t tell us what it was used for. “I notice this bread is everywhere, what kind is it?” He stared at me and said “it’s just bread”...ok then. I asked about the Manner stores and why they were so popular...no answer. I felt like every question I asked was somehow really stupid. I finally just stopped asking anything because he would not answer, history or not. Some questions he did not answer because he said I wouldn’t remember the answer in 10 minutes so what was the point. It was pretty bizarre actually.
My advice-find a different tour. I wish we had!

The food on the tour was nice, and we we were taken to some good places.
That being said, we were left with an unpleasant feeling regarding the guide, Lucas.
He started by saying that he is not allowed to say anything about the history, buildings or other topics not regarding the food itself because he is not a licensed tour guide. As someone who is interested in history almost as much as food, I felt this was disappointing. All attempts to ask about such things were refused.
In addition, many other questions were answered in a sarcastic and sometimes obnoxious way.
He also seemed to rush ahead without waiting for us, giving the feeling that he has somewhere better to be at...
I have been on many food tours around the world, and have always enjoyed the combination of history, local interesting stories surrounding the food sights and the guide was always welcoming such questions. This time it wasn't the case.
The tour is not cheap and therefore I believe that it wasn't worth the price.

Dear Smicas Thank you for your review. I´m very sorry that you didn´t experience what you expected. Anyway, I do not advertise my tours with any word mentioning history will be told on our tours. You did get it right I´m not a licensed history guide for Vienna. As a trained chef I really take a focus on the food and try to show you the best places in Vienna. About my sarcastic way to see thing´s well that´s my personality and so we didn´t go along well. Yes, the tour is not cheap because we run around approximately 4 hours and do 8 different stops​ with several tastings each stopp trying to get you a local experience and learn you about our food. Anyway i hope the rest of your stay in Vienna was better. Kind regards Lukas from Food Tours Vienna

Our tour started outside the cafe Sperl and worked its way through the nachsmarket and the 1st district sampling local foods with a really knowledgeable guide. Lukas was fun, informative and was able to answer our questions well. The tour lasts about 4 hours and we were very lucky to be with a lovely group of people from Sweden and Belgium. Top tip - don’t have breakfast beforehand, you’re fed and watered very well!
