Privé Belvedere-paleis en museumtour

An amazing experience the private tour in Spanish with a knowledgeable guide of Vienna art, history, legends, and myths. Our tour of the Belevedere started from when Pablo, our guide, came to the hotel to tell us stories of the place, the location, the street. Upon arriving at the Belvedere he told us the history of the museum, but also of the building, the origins of the families, what happened next. Each piece of art we saw brought a wealth of information and history that we greatly appreciated. It has certainly been our best tour of Vienna so far.

My wife and I could not have asked for a more thoughtful and illuminating tour of the Upper Belvedere than the one given to us by Ilse, whose warmth and friendliness are matched by her impressive knowledge of Austrian and art history. From one room to the next and one epoch to another, she made the Belvedere's architectural and artistic riches to life in a way that made us feel as if we were literally traveling through time. There is much more to see at the Belvedere than just Gustav Klimt's duly famous painting, "The Kiss," and Ilse is the perfect guide through which to discover them.

Annelie customized the tour to our interests. She was very knowledgable and had great insights. She kept us fascinated with intriguing back stories to everything we saw !

It's hard to say what was most memorable. At every turn, there is history and beauty. Yes, you get to see the amazing Klimt collection and it is wonderful. What made it most special was our guide. She was outstanding! Brilliant at curating our time at Belvedere Palace. The tour gave us new insights and perspectives. We talked about it so much afterwards.

Out guide was changed on that day due to an emergency. 2.5 hour private tour took only 1 hour. We could use tram but guide told us it's far so, had to use taxi which was wrong. We were 5 people so, had to use 2 taxis and ended up about 36 euros instead of 3 euros for tram. I highly recommend go by yourself. No guide needed. Easy to get there and get a ticket. Totally wasted money.

Katarina was absolutely one of the best your guides we have ever had. She met us at our hotel and we decided to walk to the Belvedere and gave us a fantastic history lesson along the way. Her knowledge is extensive and it was also demonstrated as we toured the museum and artwork. Of course Klimt’s The Kiss was a highlight, but there is so much to see. Katarina was enthusiastic, personable, and we were thrilled at the end of our your. Do not miss this tour!

This private tour was all I could ask for. Annelie was fluent in both English and French so we elected for the tour in French which was easier for my partner. Annelie was really good at explaining the diverse influences (Rodin, Munch Van Gogh among other artists as well as Klimt's own previous decorative work that shaped Klimt into becoming an agent of change incorporating powerful human emotions and desires. Women became more powerful in their sexuality, reflecting the bohemian nature of Klimt's Viennese environment. We saw how Klimt's landscapes followed those of Van Gogh and Monet in a more structured way, Annelie not only explained the art but brought it to life so that you didn't just observe the changes but felt them. We then left the Upper Palace and strolled through the gardens accompanied by some inspirational music from her phone. What I really appreciated about Annelie was her passion for art in all its forms including music, as a living, breathing thing that continues to evolve. A great tour with a great guide.

My wife and I were impressed with Wolfgang's knowledge. He was good at answering questions and explaining how the events and places were related. I didn't understand how Prince Eugene of Savoy fit into the monarchy and now I do. Wolfgang came with pictures of how the landscape used to be. He also helped us navigate the upper palace with a wheelchair.

Wow! Is an understatement of the knowledge our tour guide Ute provided us on our tour! She cane with a binder of photos explaining the history of every painting we saw and made it as enjoyable as possible. The time went by so quickly because she is a great storyteller! Highly recommend Ute so ask For her! You will not be disappointed!!!

Wolfgang was an amazing tour guide! This was our highlight of Vienna and he gave very personalized service.
