About me

Nice to meet you!

Career & mission

My studies of history, political science and Roman languages but also numerous experiences at museums (e.g. the Albertina) and in cultural institutions (e.g. Melk Abbey and Klosterneuburg Abbey) paved the way for me to become an enthusiastic city guide who is always up to date.

With passion and a wealth of experience I offer you a tailor-made exploration program through Vienna and its surroundings. Thanks to my qualifications as a teacher and travel organizer in Austria and abroad my tours are adapted to the individual needs of each group. You can expect a „Viennese original“, passionate winemaker and musician in two orchestras.

Contact me, I ´am looking forward to hearing from you.

I have been working as a certified tour guide in my hometown of Vienna for more than 20 years. For me there is nothing more fulfilling than showing the world my favorite city. In addition to the well-known places that enjoy worldwide fame, I also take my guests on a discovery tour to unknown, hidden and remarkable places.

Cultural commitment

It is very important to me to preserve the cultural heritage of my home town Vienna. As chairman of the cultural association Team 21 I have been trying for more than 20 years to preserve buildings and cultural monuments with the help of local initiatives. One of these projects is the Beethoven Path in Vienna-Floridsdorf which was established in 2007. Every year we commemorate the work of Ludwig van Beethoven by organizing readings, concerts, theatre performances and a special “Culture and Indulgence” hiking event. Thereby we pay tribute to the composer’s life in Vienna’s only Beethoven memorial on the left bank of the Danube which would otherwise be let go to ruin. Find out more under this link: Here.
