MY TOURS

Let me lead you through imperial Vienna. Dive into 2000 year old history and anecdotes. Admire the charm of the imperial city with me and hear, not only the facts about the 640 year old regency of the Habsburgs`, but also humorous, erotic and unbelievable details about the lives of the empress and emperor. Smile about grotesque courtly customs and shudder over murders, unsolved deaths and other criminal tales. It would be my pleasure, as a state approved tour guide, to bring this glamorous era and the cultural highlights of my home country closer to you.

Classic Vienna walking tour

The tour starts with a visit to St. Stephens’s Cathedral. You won’t believe your eyes during the 30 minute tour of the cathedral - the tales that are to be told are incredible. Afterwards we will walk down the Graben, past the Plague Column and across the Kohlmarkt to the Imperial Palace. Crossing the Michaelerplatz we will reach the inner ward of the Imperial Palace and walk onto the Heldenplatz. Discover the facts about the 640 year regency of the Habsburgers. The tour ends at the memorial to Maria Theresia.


Opera and Imperial Palace, Music and the Habsburgers

A visit to the inside of the Vienna Opera House. Wonder at one of the largest stages in Europe and allow yourself to be informed about the longstanding history of this old building. We’ll visit all the recess rooms and of course the private parlour of Emperor Franz Josef.
Subsequently we will cross the Albertinaplatz, pass the Spanish Riding School and walk   through the Swiss Gate into the oldest part of the Vienna Imperial Palace.   Our tour concludes in the Palace Gardens where we will see the Mozart Memorial.

 

Sissy – only you

This tour will inform you about the true life of our most famous empress Elisabeth. Born in Germany and married in Vienna to Franz Josef I. Seen the movie with Romy Schneider? Forget it! I am going to tell you the true story.
Visit the imperial apartments and the Sissy Museum in the Imperial Palace. You’ll find it hard to believe the stories told. Including a walk as well to her monument in the gardens of Hofburg palace is included. Takes like 2hours and is one of my favourite tours.

Of course various combinations and changes are possible and we can accommodate specific client wishes.

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

:) in St. Stephen’s Cathedral, toads eat salamanders, and that a god suffers from toothache?

:) in the Capuchin Tomb, there are 146 corpses, but hardly any hearts or innards?

:) apart from crowns, sceptres, furniture and paintings in the Imperial Palace, a fruit press for meat can be seen. This was used by the Empress Elizabeth to prepare her daily “energy drink”?

:) in the Schönbrunn Palace there are 1445 rooms, but only one toilet?

:) Mozart’s grave could be anywhere, except where it actually is?

:) These are only a few excerpts from a host of stories which you could hear from me during a tour.
