Being an Austrian-American in the beautiful city of Vienna and sharing its beauty and fascinating history with you turns out to be my true calling in life. I have been a private tour guide for over 12 years and I passionately love my job! I was born and raised in Vienna where I also attended Vienna University (Associate Degree in Tourism and PhD in Linguistics). After graduating I had a very fun job, I worked as a flight attendant for Austrian Airlines. I really got infected with the travel bug, and also learned that I thrive when working in an international environment. On one of my trips I met my husband and moved to Los Angeles. America became a second home to my two twin children and myself. We are all US citizens aswell as Austrian citizens. I even went to school in Los Angeles and finished a graphic design degree at UCLA. Sadly many years ago I became widowed and my kids and I moved back to my beloved city of Vienna where I went to school again to become a certified Austrian tour guide - a demanding training of about 2 years. When it comes to my tours my top priority is to give you the most memorable experience possible in whatever time frame we have. I will show you the most important, and also the most charming parts of the city and instruct you on the sites and the history of Vienna. My tours are (hopefully) interesting, informative and humorous. I LOVE history, I have a profound interest in the rise of the house of Habsburg, its downfall after World War I, Austria's dark path leading to National Socialism and World War II. I am interested and quite knowledgeable about Jewish history in Vienna, starting in the Middle Ages, the dark years in Austrian history and the contemporary discussion of art restitution. Please check out my "Women in Gold tour"! One more thing: I absolutely love children. As a mother of 16 year old twins I have a good amount of experience what kids and young adults like and what they find rather boring, please check out my "Kids Foodie and Fun Tour"! (during summer months) If you have read so far that means that you are indeed considering me as your tour guide. Please do contact me and I hope we get to know each other very soon in Vienna! I promise that I will do my best to make this a memorable experience for you and your family! Best regards from this side of the world, Susanne Fully Certified Austrian Guide PhD in Linguistics (German, English and French) Associate Degree in Tourism Graphic Design & Photography Degree from UCLA Extension - Go Bruins! I do not have a car of my own but I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Vienna is a city like New York City where owning a car is not necessary and if so a hassle with parking.

Overview of your Vienna tour

It’s the year 2026 — and Mozart’s 270th birthday! The perfect reason to put together this fabulous tour of Mozart’s life (and death) in Vienna. Mozart originally came from Salzburg and was sent to Vienna on a rather unexciting business trip for his boss, the Archbishop of Salzburg. While here, he got fired — and instead of returning home, he found his own way in the beautiful but highly competitive city of Vienna. We’ll visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where Mozart married his beloved Constanze (“Stanzi”). We’ll then stop at the Mozart House, where he composed Le Nozze di Figaro and spent some of his happiest years. We’ll also see the place where his health declined and where he sadly died far too young. To finish the tour, we’ll do something a little different — and truly special. I’ll take you to my favorite cemetery, St. Marx Cemetery, where Mozart found his final resting place. It’s a very magical and moving place. I can’t wait to have you on my tour and explore all of these incredible places together.
