Greetings from Vienna - the Austrian federal capital and a wonderful city, that is considered to be the most livable city in the world for the tenth(!) time in a row according to annual Mercer's quality of living ranking. By the way, in August 2018, "The Economist" came to the same conclusion. The city of dreams, the city of music, the capital of a former great Empire! Let me introduce myself. My name is Elena and I have had quite a few occupations in my life like, for example, interpreter for business negotiations or medical translations. But the greatest fun I had was while working as a guide during my study at the university (Philology and German Studies)! So a few years ago I made a decision to return back to the roots and to devote myself again to this wonderful job, that is at the same time my passion and my hobby! I enjoy all these experiences, like meeting people coming from different corners of the world, visiting the most beautiful places of the country with them, sightseeing, showing them the precious museum collections, etc. All this definitely belongs to the most wonderful life experiences and brings me unforgettable impressions. I would help you to understand the moods and the soul of the Austrians, would explain to you the huge and complicated historical background of this country in a delightful manner and not like a boring lecturer, never forgetting that you are on your holidays! So my informative entertainment is full of funny stories and anecdotes. Even the kids find enjoyment visiting my excursions and tours! Being a very sensitive and tactful person it is very important for me, that you feel yourself comfortable all the time, so I am flexible and tailor the tours very individually for you. I would appreciate it very much if you would consider me as your Austrian guide and become my guests in Vienna! I will do my best to make your stay in this country an unforgettable experience for you and your family! I would attain my goal if you have a warm feeling in your heart with lots of amazing and beautiful memories thinking back about your tour! State certified Austrian Tour Guide I am not a driver but I can accompany you by public transport or I can arrange for a separate car/van/bus and driver.

During this delightful walking tour around the city of Vienna you will see historically and architecturally famous places in downtown. You will hear a lot of funny, dramatic or scandalous stories about its inhabitants and you will get to know this beautiful place real good by diving into details stressless. So, Impressions!
Elena was early (love that) and met us at our hotel. She was a true historian and educated us on all things Austrian. Her knowledge of the culture was outstanding. And so was her style and sense of humor. As first time visitors to Vienna she gave us a full picture of the surroundings and culture of Vienna. We would highly recommend her as fans of Tours by Locals all over the world, she was one of the best we’ve ever had. Judy and Bob Weisman
Elena was a walking history book. We learned so much from her that we just had to extend time with her. Thank you Elena.
Elena was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, professional, entertaining, warm, and fun. She made the experience stress free. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide and look forward to booking her again on my next visit!
Perfect trip. Perfect tour. Perfect tour guide... Elena was always punctual, professional and knowledgeable. She used humor to do her work and adjusted to what we wanted to do in a way that did not take anything away from seeing and visiting all Vienna's great sites! At the beginning, she was our tour guide, at the end of our visit, Elena was our friend. Thanks for a great experience! We are already making plans to come back next year!
Despite terrible weather we had a wonderful tour of Elena’s beloved Vienna. She is an interesting and passionate guide, we learned a lot about the history of the city and its characters. She also gave us great recommendations for coffee houses, shopping and other places to visit. We recommend her highly.
Elena has an incredible depth of knowledge about Vienna and its extensive history, and she communicates relevant information about the historical sites very clearly. After our walking tour of Vienna this morning, my husband and I sat down in a cafe that she recommended, looked at each other, and said, "Wow, that was a great tour!" She opened our eyes to aspects of the sights in Vienna that we had not noticed on two prior trips. Her cafe recommendation was excellent too, and steered us to a much less crowded place than the main cafes frequented by tourists.
We will meet at my suggested for you meeting location and start discovering the city right there. I will inform you of the important places and will lead you to the historic part of Vienna through the "Must see-Route" in downtown like: - The State Opera - Sacher Cafe - Hofburg - The Stables of Lipizzaner - The Parliament - The City Hall of Vienna - Fine Art Museum and Natural History Museum - The Treasury - Cafe Central - The Golden Quarter of Vienna - Demel Cafe - Plague Column - St. Stephen's Cathedral - Little Medieval Streets of Vienna, e. g. where Mozart found his way home - Mozart House - and maybe more (depending on your wishes and speed) *The sequence vary depending on the starting point. *The tour can be extended upon request. *Please be aware that if you take too long time for your photostops , the list of the above mentioned landmarks could be eventually shorter.
