Tours
I am a born Viennese. I like living in Vienna and I am still in love with my city. This is why I would like you to share my feelings for this town. I am specialized in private guided city walks and would love to show you around like a personal friend. I herewith offer a number of selected tours, but I am also happy to organize tailor-made programmes according to your wishes. |

If you wish to advance
your knowledge – and love – of
the secrets of Vienna, this is the tour for
you. I’ll take you along
old and winding lanes paved with history.
Narrow staircases
and forgotten courtyards.
Grand baroque palaces with beautifully
decorated facades tell their fascinating tales about a
glorious past. |

On this tour we follow the footsteps of the most famous composers. I will show you where Joseph Haydn’s career began, where Mozart and Constance got married, Beethoven’s "Eroica" was performed for the first time and much
more of this. We finish with a tour through the Vienna
State Opera, still reflecting a touch of the
Imperial Glory. |

The Viennese always set high value on grand ceremonies
and celebrations, something
they applied especially to funeral
"performances". The Imperial Vault
houses sarcophaguses of the Habsburg being true masterpieces
of sculptural art. We get to know
of unusual burial
traditions and sites |

he composed his famous "Blue Danube Waltz" and hear more about
the fascinating personality
behind the immortal melodies. |

TRACING THE GENIUS OF Mozart THROUGH VIENNA

Vienna, places where he worked and performed.

his last in the year of his
death. |

Homes of Mozart,
Beethoven and Schubert
There is no other city
in the world that can boast
such a music tradition as in Vienna. Encouraged by the music-loving
Hapsburgs and the aristocracy, composers were drawn to
the city like a magnet and inspired
to write their greatest works. And what
more personal than being in the houses that these
composers actually lived in, to walk on the very
floors they walked on! Although Mozart and Beethoven moved countless times, the baroque houses
on this tour were their favourite dwellings. In contrast, Schubert's
birthplace is an enchanting cottage in a former
village on the outskirts of Vienna. |
