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!

Martha is a stand out for being so warm and friendly. She has an entertaining sense of humor and lovely demeanor. Her personality makes it easy to ask questions but also lends itself for casual conversation along the tour. I would definitely book a tour with her again.

Marth is an excellent tour guide! She gears the tours to what you want to see. She is completely immersed in the history of Vienna, and can weave in and out of the city with ease, explaining how everything ties together. We had taken Vienna unveiled and the Jewish Tour Vienna. She essentially created a 2 day tour that melded both itineraries, and quickly learned what we were interested in hearing more about, and which items we could cover quickly. I would highly recommend hiring Martha for your trip to Vienna.

Martha is a wonderful guide. It was clear that she is both knowledgeable and passionate about her city! We went into areas of Vienna that we would never have discovered on our own, which was delightful. She is absolutely outstanding and we very highly recommend her for a personalized tour.

Martha’s tour of Vienna was wonderful! Her English is perfect, her knowledge base is wide and deep and she handled our special requests and interests easily. Along the way she offered tips on places that we might want to check out in more depth on our own. We have been pleased with all of our ToursByLocals guides but Martha is up there with the very best!

Martha was excellent! Took us to different areas of Vienna that our Viking Shore excursion did not, such as streets that were quiet, not crowded and had beautiful shops. Recommended nice shops for the items I wanted to buy and stayed with me while I made my purchases. Took us to Demel pastry shop and sat with us while we had cappuccino and dessert. Dropped us off at nice cafe for lunch and assisted us with Uber directions. Extremely knowledgeable about the history of Vienna. Delightful personality. Would recommend to anyone visiting Vienna.
