20 years of experienced guide who makes your tour entertaining and exciting! I´m a historian and native Austrian, who will introduce you to Austrian customs and traditions. I´m the best guide for wine, café and restaurant tour thanks to my many years of experience as a tourist guide.

Now I would like to make you curious about my hometown Vienna: founded by the Romans, built by medieval knights, capital of Europe during the Holy Roman Emperors, attacked by the Turks and one of the largest cities in Europe during the monarchy. Visit Roman buildings, gothic cathedrals, baroque palaces, beautiful gardens, monasteries and breathtaking world-class art. Vienna is the capital of classical music! Visit the State Opera, concert halls, monuments of the most famous composers and their homes. Our tour is private and can be customized to suit your needs.
