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

Where did the mysterious Habsburg Empress Sisi go for her walks? Which room was Maria Theresa's favorite for relaxing? The baroque garden palace of the imperial Habsburg family is a must on every sightseeing agenda. With this tour, you get an exclusive inside visit to Vienna's most visited sight. Not only the gardens, but especially the former summer residence of the Habsburgs, is a must-see. While exploring this magnificent place, you will learn more about its other imperial inhabitants, such as Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Maria Theresa and her 16 children, including the famous Maria Antonia, who later became the Queen of France. After the palace tour and our private visit to the imperial apartments, we will stroll through the gardens laid out in baroque style and discover the highlights of the park area. These include the Neptune Fountain, the view up to the Gloriette pavilion on top of the hill, and the beautiful flower ornaments.

Your Vienna tour itinerary

My personal highlights include: • the Imperial summer palace Schönbrunn • a guided tour of 20 magnificent highlight rooms • a walk through the impressive baroque gardens I have planned a route for us that allows us to easily reach all these highlights on foot. In any case, I will of course always adapt the tour to your individual wishes and preferences. Personal recommendations for restaurants, my favorite coffee houses, and other exciting discoveries will be given to you at the end of our tour. If you want to stay longer in the Schoenbrunn Palace area I suggest to book the apple strudel show at Café Residenz or visit the outstanding carriage collection at Wagenburg Schoenbrunn.
