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.

Ute was a wonderful guide! Very friendly and full of knowledge, history and inside tips. She was very flexible and tailored the tour to our interests. Excellent!
Jeremy was the perfect tour guide for us on the morning we spent with him in Vienna. He was funny and knowledgeable and had a touch of irreverence which was appreciated. We not only learned about Viennese history, but also about some of the challenges of modern Austria as seen through Jeremy’s eyes.
When I booked I a asked for a ' When I booked I asked for a' second day in Vienna' tour and requested Spy and Espionage info. Our guide wasn't exactly able to provide that. I'm sure his First Day tour is great, but asking for something beyond the standard didn't work out....
Small groups are recommended We were provided with extensive historical background information Xxxxxxx
