3 Days in Vienna

As part of our 4 week trip to Europe in May we will be in Vienna for 3 days. We are interested in doing a walking tour of the city on the first day. Can anyone recommend a tour they have enjoyed? There seems to be so many possibilities of what to see. I would appreciate hearing suggestions of what to see and do. We will have just completed a 6 day bike ride from Passau.

There is a tram (I think it's just called the Ring Tram) that runs around Vienna. It's just the price of a normal tram ticket but when you get on there are headphones and you can listen to information about all the sights along the Ring. It's worth doing because it's so cheap and there are quite a lot of sights on that trajectory. You can get off wherever you want. I've never done a walking tour of Vienna but it's a very walkable city with a good metro system, you could easily do it yourself.

Below is the walking tours info I googled and took note of prior to our visit last October. In the end, we did not take a tour because the 10am tour was too early in the day and for the 2pm tour we were somewhere else, not near where the meeting point was. You may google and read reviews to decide for yourself.

Free Tours by Foot.com: https://freetoursbyfoot.com/free-walking-tours-vienna/ “Old Town Free Tour (English)” The daily 10am & 2pm tours are conducted by “GOOD VIENNA TOURS” ( https://www.goodviennatours.eu/ ). Duration: 2h30m. Reservations are required, book here https://goodviennatours.eu/free-tour-english/ . Meeting point Albertinapl. 1 , guides in green shirt & green umbrella. Participants to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour starts.

The 11am & 3pm tours are conducted by Prime Tour ( https://primetours.at/ ) and have a minimum attendee requirement for the tour to take place. Guides with yellow umbrella, meeting point is Helmut Zilk-Platz, 1010 Vienna, duration 2h. See https://primetours.at/tours/free-wal...ienna-classic/ for details.
