Welcome to Austria, welcome to Vienna! My name is Elisabeth and I have been working as a tourist guide in Vienna and Lower Austria since 2007. Fine Arts, music and history have been my passion since young age and I love to share my knowledge with people from all over the world. Foreign languages are an essential part of my work and I enjoy using them in my tours. It's a great pleasure for me to show my guests the beauties and cultural treasures of Vienna and Lower Austria. For me guiding tourists is more than telling them history, it's telling them stories about history. I evolve my tours around funny anecdotes and the life of outstanding personalities and by doing so I try to breathe new life into the historical sites which we look at. Another important element of my tours is to interweave culture, history and culinary art. As a local I want to acquaint my clients with the Viennese lifestyle, the tradition of drinking coffee, cooking and the use of local food and as well as the joy of tasting outstanding wines. My tours are personal and individual and can be customized according to your wishes! Come along and discover the Viennese way of life with me! Licensed Austria Tourist Guide ("Austriaguide") since 2007. Master degree in Polish language, University Vienna, 2012 I am not a driver guide. If tours require a vehicle I will arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Vienna tour

This walking tour wants to show you the hidden, old quarters of Vienna's city center. Away from imperial squares and huge pedestrian zones, you are to discover narrow lanes, small picturesque squares, romantic fountains and hidden courtyards. You will hear about the daily life during medieval times, about Vienna as a melting pot of different cultures, religions and traditions. Famous historical celebrities will pass your way, interesting and funny legends will amuse you. During the tour we will be visiting an old, traditional Vienna Kaffeehaus (Cafe), talking about the outstanding role that the "institution" of Kaffeehaus has played over centuries. Of course I can customize the tour according to your wishes!

We recently toured Old Vienna with the lovely Elisabeth, and had a wonderful experience. Elisabeth met us at our hotel and walked us along the Ringstrasse while providing us interesting insights and historical notes all throughout the tour. Touring with Elisabeth was like touring with a close family friend -- she answered all of our questions thoughtfully, took the time to provide personal anecdotes, and got to know us both so that she could cater the tour to our unique backgrounds and interests. Elisabeth treated us to coffee and pastries at a local kaffeehaus, and showed us Vienna off the beaten path. We saw all of the notable Old Vienna destinations, while not feeling as if we were part of the typical crowd of tourists. We highly recommend Elisabeth to anyone hoping for a unique Viennese experience. You will be impressed!

Elisabeth led us (a party of 4) on a 3 hour walking tour entitled Romantic Old Vienna & Kaffeehauses ... she was both personable and professional and her passion for the city and its history/culture was evident! Once you've done a classic "city highlights" tour, taking this tour with Elisabeth provides another layer of understanding to Vienna -- especially the tradition of kauffeehauses in Viennese culture. Highly recommended! Elisabeth was a delight to be with! John, Cindy & friends

We loved the tour! Elisabeth showed us the alleyways, courtyards, and historic buildings not covered in tour guides. The pastries at the end of the tour were delicious and classy. We would highly recommend this tour with Elisabeth!
