As the daughter of a colorful European family, the joy of history and stories was practically instilled in me from birth.

Anyone who has ever tried to discuss Napoleon over lunch with a Brit, a Frenchman, and an Austrian lady understands, even in childhood: history is pure adventure—and often changes, like a kaleidoscope, with just a slight shift in perspective!

During 26 years of professional life with an airline and in the tourism industry, travel became another important part of my life. I have seen the world—and yet always gladly returned to Vienna.

Then came the day when I could no longer resist turning my passion for Vienna, history, and art into my profession, my calling: I became an Austria Guide, a certified tourist guide for Vienna and Austria.

Since then, it has been my daily joy to accompany my guests through my city, allowing them to experience the history, stories, emotions, and beauty of this city. Experiencing Vienna, feeling Vienna, and enjoying it—that is the essence of my tours.
