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.
