Servus & welcome to Vienna! Like many other Viennese, I chose Vienna as my heartfelt home because the only thing better than vacationing in Vienna is, of course, living here. Apart from being the capital of waltz, art museums, and Imperial Grandeur, Vienna is a very colorful, yet relaxed, contemporary hub regularly declared the most livable city in the world. Loving my city as much as I do, I delight in sharing its beauty and its stories with visitors like you! My story starts in the 1980s behind the Iron Curtain in the capital of Romania. However, following an adventurous migration, I mostly grew up in an Austrian province named Upper Austria. My first love was art, and it began with my studies of Textile Art & Design at Linz’ University. Needless to say, this is an everlasting love, and thankfully Vienna is a city full of beautiful museums and wonderful street art. Another passion of mine is travelling, and my second career as a flight attendant in Private Aviation allowed me to travel the globe, visit dozens of countries and live and work abroad in places like the South of France. But maybe my passion # 1 currently is history – following my history studies I decided to engage in a profession that permits me to be surrounded daily with culture, history, and beauty. Therefore, I returned to Austria, declared Vienna my home at last, and obtained my qualification and certification as a local guide. When I’m not introducing Vienna to dear travelers, I might be touring through some other fascinating corner of Europe as a trip leader, or I could be enjoying la dolce vita in the Mediterranean or perhaps attending a wine seminar in the Wachau. But just as likely, I’m at home experimenting with a newly discovered recipe, hunting for books in the antiquary, or running to the theatre to catch a play. I look forward to welcoming you in what is considered to be the biggest – and certainly the most charming - village in the world, and sharing my knowledge, humor, and our local culture with you!

Overview of your Vienna tour

At the centre of Vienna stands St. Stephen's Cathedral, one of the most significant historical buildings of the city that has witnessed its history for centuries. Within this private tour I invite visitors to explore the cathedral in a more attentive way: its (mainly) Gothic architecture, its monuments and chapels, and the many layers of history embedded in the structure. Along the way we consider how the cathedral was built, how it survived periods of conflict and change, and how it came to occupy such an important place in Vienna’s cultural life. The visit combines historical explanation with close observation of the building itself. (Please note that on certain days, visits are impaired or restricted due to liturgical services or organisational requirements. On rare occasions, this might occur on short notice. In such cases I would contact you to arrange an alternate timing. When a baptism takes place in the south tower hall, the space is temporarily inaccessible to visitors.)

Your Vienna tour itinerary

We begin by looking at the immediate surroundings of the cathedral and the exterior of the building. The tour then continues inside the church, where the main part of the visit takes place.
