I am a tour guide with 20 years of experience who will make the tour entertaining and exciting for you. I was born in Austria and I am a travel enthusiast. I studied history and art history, which makes me the best guide for historical information, stunning facts and Viennese art and music. Even if you need tickets and accommodation, I will provide you with the best support! As a true Austrian, I will introduce you to Austrian customs and traditions. I am also the best guide for a wine, café and restaurant tour thanks to my many years of experience as a tourist guide. I know exactly what most travelers like. I also work as a photographer, author and painter. I offer also a photo tour with guaranteed stunning pictures! You can book me also for day trips or over night trips through Austria and the neighboring countries, which we can reach in 1-3 hours. Whatever you want to do, I will find the perfect solution for you! For your next travel you can think about taking me for days or a week in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, UK, Hungury, Turkey, North Africa ... I have 20 years of experience in organizing trips and guiding in other countries around the mediterranean sea! Now I would like to make you curious about my hometown Vienna: founded by the Romans, built by medieval knights, capital of Europe at the time of the Holy Roman Emperors, attacked by the Turks and one of the largest cities in Europe at the time of the monarchy. Visit Roman ruins, gothic cathedrals, baroque palaces, beautiful gardens, monasteries and breathtaking world-class art! Vienna is the capital of classical music! Visit the State Opera, concert halls, monuments to the most famous composers and their homes ... Don´t forget to try Viennese food, desserts, beer and wine for what I offer a culinary tour!
