BPV (11) - Vienna

Today really was the last day of the Rick Steves tour since the tour ended the next day after breakfast. We left hotel at 8:45am, walked to the Opera House and toured it with our local guide, Wolfgang. His English was a bit hard to understand sometimes but he really is a funny guy. After the Opera House, we toured the Hofburg Imperial Apartments and the Treasury together. The tour ended inside Hofburg Treasury around 1pm so I got to see the Treasury slowly by myself later. It is amazing!

36. We presented our tour guide, Jana, a gift (a scarf made in Austria, each of us pitched in 5 euros for it) and a home-made Thank You card at the farewell dinner.
