At the Tiergarten I had problems with the acceptance of the e-Card for the discount on admission. The ticket office employee insisted on having the physical Vienna Card for the discount. It took him a while to turn to his colleague, who confirmed the validity of my e-card. It was an unfortunate situation!

Every ride on trams, buses and metro was seamless. We saw almost all the top 10 attractions in 2 days. The transport network is super efficient. And waiting time for interchanges average no more than 5 mins.

I loved that my tour was private yet escorted, that I ate dinner in a palace and topped it off with a glass of sparkling wine at a classical concert with opera singers. It doesn't get any better than this!
