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

Vienna is a very photogenic city! During the day and in particular at night time. Let's embark on photographic adventure together. Myself, I am also a serious photo hobbyist and a pet & equine photographer when I do not give city tours. On this photo adventure we will start shortly before sunset at heroes square. You can come with professional camera or with your iPhone (even with android, though I am myself not very good with android). Tripod would be good, but not a must. This tour will be a nice combination of Imperial History and hands on photography! We will tour the nicest sunset and nighttime locations. By the end you should have some very nice memorable pictures of Vienna. The tour will end with a nice comfortable debriefing at a cosy Viennese coffee house in "shabby chic".

Even on a rainy evening Susanne made sure that we had a very productive tour and captured wonderful images. She was so kind and thoughtful that she brought items to keep us warm and protect our gear. She was very happy to share her knowledge of her beautiful city and her photography skills. She was prepared for the weather with her options for photographic locations as well. It is always a good idea to have a local show you around and even more important when the weather does not cooperate completely. This was our second tour with Susanne and it was another wonderful experience. She has a lot of passion for both Vienna and photography and that is what helped us come away with lots of wonderful memories and a new friend. Susanne is second to none!

Suzanne guided us to wonderful locations within Vienna to shoot. Not only did we have great shooting but she offered us bits of Austrian history and pointed out good eating places as we wandered through the city. I highly recommend Suzanne to any photographer that wants to capture great photos of the city. She also provided us other possible shooting locations .
