Mirko Washington fantastic. Help behaved as a professional guide switching across architectural analyses, historical reports and cultural tastings ( he performed some music, gave us the typical Mozart treats and spread so many advices about the main ways to experience the city). He was very engaging and gave us headphones so that we could hear what he said in the one to one convrsations he had with all of us during the movements from one spot to the other and at the end of the tour sent us vero useful information spinning from the typical meals to taste, cafes to visit, discos and even a plan on how to spend 3 days in Vienna

Until the tour with Mirko we felt like we were in Vienna but not experiencing it. Two and a half hours later we did feel like we truly had been in the presence of a guru and had picked up enough information to understand our surroundings and enjoy the rest of our short stay to the fullest. Absolutely brilliant I have been energised by his love of the city. Thank you Mirko
