Private tour of historical Vienna with Jan (opens in a new tab)

45 2 h – 3 h

Join me for a fun, entertaining walk through Vienna's Old Town — its palaces, churches, squares, and quiet backstreets — and discover the complete, immersive story of the city that once ruled an empire. We'll take in the grand monuments, the architecture, the hidden symbolism, and the stories most visitors never hear. Meet the Habsburgs, the family who tried to conquer the world — not by war, but by marriage. It worked brilliantly, until they started marrying their own cousins one too many times and turned inbreeding into a family tradition. Still, they held on for six centuries, and their old capital stands today as one giant monument to their reign. Their story is pure soap opera, and I love telling it. I'll share the same passion for this city that brought me here in the first place. I came to Vienna for its history — I stayed for everything else. Walk these streets with me, and you'll understand why.

Home to traditionally quaint wine villages and some unique local varietals, we showcase the finest in farm-to-table Austrian wine tours. In summer, we'll hike through these foothills to the alps along forested trails, as well as through lush green vineyards on their southern facing slopes. We'll stop en route to appreciate some beautifully expansive views over the forest canopy & the Vienna basin over to Hungary & Slovakia, before reaching one of Austria's oldest wine villages for lunch and a winery visit. In the winter time, instead of the hike, we visit two wineries to focus our attention more on the history of Thermal Region wine making, and on meeting a local vintner to learn about modern day wine production - all with glasses of the best the region has to offer in our hands, of course!

About Vienna

Imperial palaces, coffee houses and classical music

Vienna was the capital of the Habsburg empire, and it still feels like it. The Hofburg, Schönbrunn and the Belvedere are palaces on an imperial scale, and the Ringstrasse is lined with opera, parliament and museums built to impress.

It is also a city for sitting down. Coffee houses are a UNESCO-listed tradition, the music scene is world-class, and the wine taverns (Heurigen) on the city's edge serve local wine in vineyard gardens.

Best time
April to June and September to October. December has the Christmas markets; July and August are hot, with the opera season closed.
How long
Three days.
Getting around
The U-Bahn, trams and buses are excellent, and the city centre is compact enough to walk. A 24 or 72-hour travel card is good value.
