A private Historical Walking Tour in Vienna
Description
Experience Vienna at your own pace with a private walking tour that combines in-depth local knowledge, iconic landmarks, and a few hidden gems — all tailored to your interests. This is not a group tour. It's just you (and your companions), your expert local guide, and Vienna’s magnificent Old Town. We'll start by picking you up directly from your hotel/accommodation or we meet at the meeting point. From there, your guide will lead you on a relaxed walk through Vienna’s most beautiful historic areas, bringing centuries of imperial history, music, art, and culture to life with fascinating stories and personal insights. Whether you're interested in royal palaces, Mozart and Beethoven, Viennese coffeehouse culture, Jewish heritage, or hidden courtyards, we’ll shape the tour around what you care about most.

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. Thank you for a great tour!!
The tour guide, Eszther, was exceptional. We focused our private tour on Jewish history, architecture and music. We leaned so much about Vienna and her history walking around for two and a half hours.
Horst was a fantastic and engaging tour guide for our private walking tour of Vienna. He did a great job sharing interesting anecdotes about Vienna’s history to bring the culture and and architecture to life.

Horst was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. He had great stories and answered all of our questions. On the way back he pointed out great spots for lunch and dinner.
Ute was an amazing tour guide! For our one day (definitely NOT enough time in Vienna!) she really gave us an understanding of Vienna’s history & architecture. Along with sharing insights to food, shopping & many other interesting facts. Highly recommend her & will definitely reach to have her guide us again when we return to Vienna!
If I could change anything about this tour, I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time all over again. Jeremy is THE ideal tour guide. He is so well-educated, cultured, interesting, personable, patient,and genuinely kind. My three teenage sons, husband, and I had one of the best mornings I can recall for a long time. We strolled through the streets of Vienna and learned about it’s culture, political climate, history, architecture, art, and more. He truly gave us some insider information that a mainstream tour would not provide. He was able to cater to our exact interests. His lunch recommendation was soo good! We are going to be thinking about this tour and talking about it for a long time. Thank you, Jeremy!
