Born and raised in Vienna, I am a licensed certified guide since 1990. That job just felt obvious to me. Tourism had indeed always been part of my life, as my dad founded one of the very first Vienna sightseeing companies in the 1970s. Passionate about my beautiful city, I love to introduce visitors to history, art, gastronomy and the Jewish history of Vienna. I love to travel and I had a chance to travel a lot thanks to my job. I also enjoy cycling and discovering a city by bike. My favorite tours in Vienna are about Austrian history, the Hapsburg Empire and the city's different historic connections who shaped the city from the past until today…
