Getting to know the former imperial city of Vienna and today's capital of Austria individually and personally tailored to you—this is my goal as your licensed guide and local expert in Vienna! My name is Martha. Although I was born in Upper Austria, I quickly discovered my love for Vienna. After graduating from university in Vienna, I knew I wanted to make this unique city my home. Vienna has it all: impressive and scenic squares, secret alleys, countless art collections in our museums, world-class music, beautiful architecture, and a rich cultural heritage. Before starting my career as a tour guide and running my one-woman agency in Vienna, I lived and worked in many other countries. The travel experiences I've gained from these wonderful journeys form the basis for my flexible and intuitive approach to individual tours. In 2009, I started my own business focusing on personalized tours and cultural programs for small groups, aiming to share what truly fascinates me about Vienna. This city offers an incredible quality of life, seamlessly blending the traditions of the past with the vibrancy of modern life. I believe that travel can be so much more than just a business trip or a sightseeing tour. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in Austrian culture, experience Vienna's past and present, and enjoy the city's unique art scenes and delightful experiences. As a local guide living in Vienna, it is important for me to engage in meaningful dialogue with my guests. I prioritize answering questions about the current situation in Austria and discussing contemporary issues affecting Vienna. By fostering this exchange, I aim to provide a more enriching and insightful experience for my visitors. I strive to stay informed about local developments and trends to ensure that I can offer accurate and up-to-date information. My goal is to create a welcoming and interactive environment where guests feel comfortable exploring and understanding the unique aspects of Vienna. I have been a licensed Austria Guide since 2001. I completed the extensive two-year course and passed the exam to become a licensed Austria Guide right away. Please note that I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle, or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Please let me know in advance, if you want to book a car and driver in addition to my tours. I am very much looking forward to hearing from you!

Overview of your Vienna tour

Vienna's painting collections are among the most renowned in the world. I will take you to the very heart of them: The Upper Belvedere The stars of the exhibition are Klimt's masterpiece "The Kiss" and his portraits of society ladies as well as his landscapes. Klimt was one of the revolutionary secessionist artists who also supported the younger Enfants terribles like Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Discovering their paintings and their life stories will give you a true understanding of the turn of the century. The Belvedere Palace and its beautifully laid out gardens are also a wonderful example of baroque architecture that we can explore together. While the interior now serves purely as an art gallery, the palace itself retains its grand heritage and holds an important place in modern history. It was right here, on the balcony of the Upper Belvedere, that the landmark Austrian State Treaty was signed in 1955. This ended ten years of Allied occupation and restored Austria’s independence.

We'll start with a walk through the baroque gardens to admire the palace architecture and its iconic views. Afterward, we will head into the Upper Belvedere to discover the art collection housed within the walls of this former palace. My Personal Highlights Include: - The magnificent architecture and gardens of the Belvedere - Uncovering the groundbreaking works of Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka - Engaging stories behind the art, the artists and the building itself Tickets & Important Information: - Ticket Price: €23.00 per person - Booking Process: To ensure a smooth entry, licensed tour guides receive access to exclusive time-slot reservations.

At the end of our walk, I will also share my personal recommendations for traditional Viennese coffee houses, local restaurants, and hidden gems around the city.
