Overview

We are a small group of local and state-certified Austria Guides and look forward to introducing you to the most liveable and lovable city in the world (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

We start at the Albertina, visit the National Library, the Burggarten and parts of the Vienna Hofburg. We walk across Heldenplatz and immerse ourselves in Austria's more recent history. The Habsburg dynasty, the ruling dynasty at the center of Europe, is also discussed. The Sisi Museum and the Treasury are on our route.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, the center of the city, is of course also a popular destination. W.A. Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert accompany us on our walk.

Viennese cuisine with its specialties from schnitzel to Kaiserschmarren is of course a must. Or would you prefer to hear the history of the Viennese coffee house and a few anecdotes about the famous Viennese Heurigen?

At the end of the tour, we will be happy to give you tips on how to make your stay in Vienna even more personal. Our guides will also be happy to tell you where you can get the best schnitzel and where we like to drink our Melange.
