I almost did not show uo because I was tired of the Christmas markets after arriving from Vienna the day before. This tour was SO much more than a Christmas market tour. Katlain gave me an extensive history inside the St. Stephans Basilica. This is beautiful structure with so much history. She has a history degree, and her grandmother taught history. I'm a history buff and she loaded me with all the history that I could absorb. We did some tastings in the Christmas market and did some more exploring in the city. I highly recommend…”
