I'm a professional art historian who started guiding 13 years ago in Greece, alongside my university studies. My academic focus was on ancient sculpture, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience leading both multi-day group tours and personalized private journeys through Greece’s rich cultural landscapes. Since 2015, I’ve been based in Austria, continuing to do what I love most—sharing art, history, and place. In Vienna, I studied art history further and completed specialized professional training as an Austrian guide. While I’ve worked with large groups, I now focus mainly on private clients to offer fully customized, exclusive experiences. I guide in museums, archaeological sites, sacred and historical landmarks, but also love taking guests to Austria’s stunning nature and best hidden wineries. My parallel work as an art historian and cultural manager keeps me closely connected to the local art scene, allowing me to offer rare insights and authentic insider access. Every tour begins with getting to know you—your tastes, interests, and curiosities—so I can design something truly personal. For me, it’s not just about guiding a tour, but about creating a deep, memorable cultural encounter.

Discover the Historic Heart of Vienna
Overview of your Vienna tour
As an art historian deeply connected to Vienna’s artistic and cultural life, I invite you to see the city through my eyes — the eyes of someone who studied its art, walked its hidden courtyards, and fell in love with every stone. Vienna is a city of stories, secrets, and small details that you won’t find in guidebooks. On this private tour, I’ll uncover the hidden meanings behind its monuments, reveal forgotten legends, and share insider knowledge known only to locals. Expect not just a sightseeing tour but an intimate, cultural experience shaped by passion and expertise.
