I have been on many food tours all around Europe, but this was one of the best, if not the best, food tour! It's exactly what I wanted from a food tour:
- great food, with an emphasis on traditional dishes from the region
- an introduction to food customs, including fun stories of the history of the dishes and how they relate to culture (for example, why do you never cut a bread dumpling with the sharp side of a knife?)
- I good mix of historical background and information about the city; while it was a food tour, you get a tour of Vienna as a great bonus
- a funny, affable host that really enjoys the subject matter of the tour; Roland's enthusiasm for food, history, and culture were always impressive
- a knowledgable guide: from recipes, cooking techniques, historical stories, and Austrian customs, Roland answered all my questions and more!
