Get ready to be wowed!

Vienna

It was nice to see the beautiful museum island of Vienna. I wanted to visit Vienna but the pandemic hit the world. I’d want to visit the museum with Klimt’s kiss and as many museums I can see 

Francis is an excellent tour guide, really funny and engaging. During the tour I learnt a lot about the country's history and culture. Looking forward to joining more of Francis tours.  

Really enjoyable trip to Vienna-thank-you for doing it in the rain. 

Deep expertise in his Field, always on time, funny, perfect command of languages such as: English, Deutsch, Spanish, Portuguese. Francis is a STAR! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Really enjoyed Francis’s tour in Vienna.  He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.  I look forward to doing more tours with him.

Great to revisit that beautiful city of Wien 

Second tour with Francis today.  Love his sense of humour.  The buildings were so beautiful and Francis is filled with knowledge which he is so keen to share.  

Hopefully going to Vienna in August so very interesting to hear some history and see the lovely buildings. Also interesting to see peaceful demonstrations and no graffiti. Would like to see another part of Vienna when the cafes are open. Really enjoyed the tour.

Francis gave a wonderfully fun and very interesting tour of Vienna this morning!  Francis has a great sense of humor and is incredibly personable!  I feel as if he is my long lost friend!!!  Thank you so much Francis! 

Great sense of humor and did a great job handling protest during tour. Found us places to see 

Francis is the best tour guides I have ever encountered on Virtual Trips (not to say the others are also very good). He is very knowledge on the places and subject matters in view, considerate of the viewers' requests and responsive to questions (sometimes very humorous and critical). He has very good video camera skills and allows us time to take postcards. Overall he sheds a lot of light on the tour and entices viewers to visit the sites in person. 

Interesting. Committed leadership in a light enjoyable manner. Thank you

Thoroughly entertaining and informative tour - well done.  I look forward to visiting Vienna again [virtually] .  Thank you

I really enjoyed this trip to Vienna, thank you to Francis and his wife. 

Excellent information provided by Francis with a good mixture of humor!  

Thankyou for an interesting and informative tour, Patrick. We are supposed to be in Vienna for 3 days at the end of May, so your tour  was a great introduction. 

I really enjoyed this tour, it was entertaining and very enjoyable. 

What a wonderful trip and guide. I would definitely book Francis for a live tour. He was friendly, welcoming, interesting, funny and was great on historic detail. My favorite virtual tour guide so far. Thanks for the tour of Vienna today.

Fascinating and informative tour of Vienna with Francis... danke schon !

Francis seems very nice.  If I get a chance to visit Vienna, the museums etc. that he pointed out will be easy to find.

Excellent English, historical awareness, and content.  You were so friendly too and responded well to your clients. I loved this tour.

Exceptionally good tour. So many beautiful buildings and interesting things to see. I really enjoyed the commentary.

Read,ly enjoyed my trip back to Vienna with Francis. Informative and knowledgeable- I look forward to more of his  tours. Thank you

GREAT tour... love all the history along with the gorgeous architecture! Your presentation is clear, easily understood.  

Very informative and interesting thank you

Francis did a good job of keeping it interesting by constantly moving and showing us a lot of places on this tour plus including such interesting history!

Introduction to another wonderful entertaining and very informative guide!  Wonderful walk with so much information given with enthusiasm and interaction. 

Ok thanks can you give a little time at certain points for a post card but otherwise lovely tour even in the rain

Flimsy information basic content repetitive hopeless camera work never again! Okay so it was raining certainly had troubles with his equipment but he did not appeal as a personality toi much personal information telling us too often if his extensive experience his world  travels not well enough informed about Vienna......sorry not following him again....  

Francis is funny but at the same time he makes time for photos and knows his history well, showing us pictures of how things were many years ago.

What a amazing tour!!! Francis is very knowledgeable and I really like the way he explains  the history of this wonderful city!!! He has sense of humor and good vibe 😉 I can’t wait to see more of Vienna from his eyes! See you soon Francis! I recommend this tour! 

Loved this tour brought back memories of visits to Vienna. Very informative and great opportunities for postcards

Tour of Imperial Austria in the rain!many fine buildings and statues including the Imperial riding school,even saw a glimpse of the horses.saw various pics showing history,and locations of museums able to plan future visits,hopefully

Very nice tour will watch again to bad the time difference is hard as it is late at night, but worth watching and Francis is a wonderful guide with a lovely wife as helper. Enjoyed myself. Thank you 

So friendly. I joined late. I have booked a tour of yours on Sunday 7th. Vienna is so beautiful.


beautiful city , well explained by Francis

We liked Francis's gentle approach and his attention to detail. We appreciated his collaboration with his colleague Claudia. Look forward to joining tours with Francis in the future.Thank you.

Amazing tour, Francis is very knowledgeable! I visited Vienna few years ago and I actually learned more from Francis of the details 

Thank you for a wonderful tour around your beautiful city. It’s now added onto my list of “must see” places! 

Such a fun tour of a beautiful city! I loved Francis’s passion and enthusiasm for his adopted homeland. Vienna shone on the route he chose and he was kind to take extra time at the end for additional questions- I’ll definitely be booking more tours in Vienna!

You are the man!!! Loved the tour, loved the style, loved your knowledge, loved Vienna and you are fab. Thank you so much for beautiful smiles x

Great tour of Vienna!  Such a beautiful place and a very knowledgeable guide who made the tour very interesting.  Thank you.

Wonderfully educational tour in beautiful Vienna. Excellent, thankyou Francis

I’ve been to Vienna but still enjoyed a lot of memory replayed via virtual tour. Francis is one of the best guides at VT. He seems to understand what viewers want to see. He is pointing out many details and interesting facts. He gives time and also shows effort to present excellent postcard moments. I will definitely join his tour again. 

Great tour and enjoyed walking along with you on a sunny day . Many thanks showing us the places of interest around Vienna.

An excellent insight into Vienna Francis is a great guide

We loved  seeing the beautiful city of Vienna.  What culture and history in this wonderful city!!  I have always wanted to travel to Vienna and now we know we want to visit this beautiful city!
Thank you for all your information and humour Francis!!!!

Yes. It was good, the only criticism was that he's showed us the museums several as beautiful as they were I'd ratherhVeseen





Yes Francis gave out alot info  and the buildings are beauriful. I didn't need to see the museums 3-4  times. Very enjoyable. 

Have always wanted to visit Vienna and this tour gave me a little taste of what it has to offer. Francis was a perfect guide and a great personality. Thank you so much!

Fabulous and enjoyable tour! Francis is an interesting  and entertaining guide. Hopefully I can get there for real soon, looking forward to coffee and cake in the coffee houses he described to us :)

Francis gave an excellent tour of Vienna. Lots of historical information and beautiful architecture and sights to see. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour of fabulous Viena. Thank you for the information on the classical Viena. Very enjoyable.

The internet connection was better than Kyoto. It freezes here and there. Must be because it is live. His English was very good and so were the facts about what we were looking at.

Wonderful tour, beautiful city. Francis is a delightful tour guide, funny and insightful. This one was really special.

It was an interesting stroll past some beautiful buildings. Francis was very knowledgeable with an amusing repartee.  

In my opinion a little too pleased to stop and repeat postcard opportunities. Otherwise a fine tour highlighting Viennese sights.

Lovely tour, showcasing Vienna beautifully. Thank you 

Very interesting. Can you please do a tour of Salzburg.... 

Wonderfully detailed tour.  Francis covered a lot of territory.  He was very engaged with the audience.

I highly recommend this tour: really informative, with lovely landscapes. Francis is an awesome guide, with a great sense of humor and willing to share detailed information about Vienna's past and present.

It was wonderful.  Just reading a book about the Hapsburg Empire. Loved it. I will visit myself one day.  Thankyou.

And excellent tour of beautiful Vienna - Francis is a top guide, telling us all about the area with humour and knowledge and making sure we were able to take plenty of photos. Thank you so much Francis, I'll be back to travel with you again!
