"Vienna waits for you" - this rather unknown song by my favourite singer Billy Joel should be your motto! My name is Katharina and I am a real local! I was born and raised in this beautiful city and love it very much! Having followed my passion for history I graduated from the University of Vienna and became a certified tourist guide. Since 2001 I am showing guests from all over the world the beauties and secrets of this fascinating town. I offer customized tours and programs depending on your interests and time, also especially for families with children. Vienna offers such a huge variety of attractions - music, the rich Habsburg heritage, culture and culinary delights at every corner. Discover Vienna with an insider, visit places and hear stories that you would not find in any guide book. And in the end I guarantee: You will fall in love with this city and surely want to come back. Can't wait to hear from you. . . Austria Tourist Guide since 2001 Academic studies of subjects History & Theatre, Film and Television Sciences, Universität Wien (official graduation in 2008) I am a fully licensed Austria Tourist Guide and there are no restrictions in my guiding service. I am not a driver though, but can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Vienna tour

It will be my pleasure to show you various sides of my beautiful hometown, telling you stories from the time of the monarchy and the Habsburg dynasty as well as current gossip. Hear about empress Elisabeth who was quite a beauty queen of her time and tried out weird beauty recipes, e. g. using raw veal as a facial mask to stay forever young. . . I will tell you many more fascinating stories about Sisi (that's her nickname) who is almost unknown in the English-speaking area. We will walk along the traces of famous composers like W. A. Mozart, Joseph Haydn, and Ludwig van Beethoven and see the places where they have lived and worked, and much more. . . Vienna offers a lot to those visiting this beautiful city, and together with an experienced, licensed tourist guide who has spent her whole life in this town, you will see more of it in less time.

We loved our tour with Katharina. She adjusted the itinerary to include our interests without losing the main attractions of the city. She also had some printed images of the places we visited and of the city in the past, which was a very nice touch that helped us better understand everything she told us. Katharina is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and was ready to answer all our questions and requests. Time flew by! This tour is not to be missed.

Katharina was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Vienna. She was flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to see. It felt like we were on a walk with a wonderful friend telling us a fabulous story. Make sure you go inside the Austrian national library. It is truly breathtaking! Spend the day with Katharina, you will be so happy!

What a wonderful day with Katharina. I learned so much about the history and culture of Vienna. It was like having a pleasant conversation with an old friend. We discussed Vienna past up to the current day. She reminded me of things I’d forgotten about Vienna and taught me so much more. Vienna is one of my favorite cities. I recommend seeing it with Katharina.

We cannot say enough good things about the time we spent with Katrina as she oriented us to the city of Vienna. Her knowledge of the history of the city was impressive but what made the tour especially fun was the fact that she shared little side notes and pointed out things that we would have missed on our own. It was a great way to start our trip since she gave us an overview of the city as well as recommendations for things to do during our remaining time in Vienna. It was especially nice being on a private tour with Katrina since we asked many questions about the history of the city as well as that of the Habsburg Empire that we might have not been able to ask in a large group setting. We cannot recommend her enough!
