Spend about five hours eating your way through Vienna with guides such as Christoph, Maria, Peter, or Kristof. Start with coffee and pastry, continue through Naschmarkt, Favoriten, and Brunnenmarkt, then finish with coffee or hot chocolate in Neubau. Expect generous portions, three drinks, public transport, and a group of no more than 12.

“We were a group of 7 including 2 small kids and were upgraded to a private tour with Wolfi - what a pleasure and definitely worth the money! The food was varied and interesting even for the Swiss among us, ranging from a beautiful retro coffee house to a market food stand, and we got tips on other places to eat while in Vienna. We loved the relaxed pace which allowed us to see and enjoy everything even with the kids along. Highest recommended!”

2.An exclusive experience: food market, private chef and lunch!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · from $286

Meet chef Clara or Ornella in central Milan, shop an open-air market for seasonal ingredients, then return to a private home kitchen to make five Italian courses. You will prepare pasta or gnocchi, a traditional meat dish, and dessert before sitting down to lunch with wine, Prosecco, espresso, recipes, and a diploma.

“Wonderful experience! The visit to the market was unique and our chef, Clara, gave us many pointers and good advice even before we had reached the kitchen. The cooking class was an ideal combination of theory, tips and hands-on experience for all six students. We learned what to look for in order to get the real authentic product. Clara shared her expertise smilingly and answered all our questions. The menu - all typical Italian specialties - was very varied. The meal was delicious and gave us an opportunity to socialize with our new international friends. A truly satisfying experience from the beginning to the end. Next time I am in…”
