Hello! My name is Raphael and as you can probably guess Vienna is the most interesting city in the world. Like every other city. But Vienna is special to me because it is the place where I was born and raised. It's also the place where I have been doing tours for tourists for the last ten years. Originally I studied to become a teacher of history, but it is so much more fun to discover history in the city than in a class room. Also: fewer exams (which, surprisingly, means that people pay more attention). In all my tours I try to connect the past with the present and show that people back then where not so different from people nowadays - give or take a daily shower. All my tours are suitable for children. If you tell me in advance, I will put back in all the bits that usually scare the adults. If you are a teacher, all the tours are also suitable for school or student groups and I will happily modify them to emphasize any topic of your choosing. Certified Tour Guide in Austria Certified Tour Guide for Schloss Schönbrunn More than ten years experience in guiding tourists in the Vienna State Opera and the Music Society I am not a driver, but I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Overview of your Vienna tour

So, you have arrived in Vienna, where should you go first? Well, your hotel, obviously, but afterwards? Let someone, who grew up here, show you around! This tour will offer you a general overview of the city, its history and its most important sights. We will stay mostly within the Inner District, where I will not only show you famous landmarks, but also help you orient yourself in the city, so that you are perfectly equipped to enjoy the rest of your stay. And don't worry, if you are not interested in just numbers and dates - neither am I. But there are fun and strange and maybe surprising stories hidden everywhere and I love to find them. If you have already been to Vienna or have read about specific sights that you want to visit, I will happily adjust the itinerary below to include whatever else interests you.
