About this experience
To acquaint yourself with the history, culture, traditions, and lifestyle of the once-empire where 'the sun never set' - which is today the parliamentary republic of Austria, you should embark on my exclusive tour. Discover Vienna's major attractions, learn about iconic historical figures, the customs and values of modern Viennese - not only known facts, but also secrets and peculiarities that distinguish it from other cities. And certainly, savor the exquisite Viennese sweets that even the Austrian emperors admired.
What to Expect
- Strolling through the winter residence of the emperors, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the 600-year reign of the Habsburg dynasty. Learn about the emperors, their personal lives, lifestyles, favorite pastimes, and preferences. I will reveal the beauty secrets of Empress Elisabeth (Sissi), share about the grand plans of Empress Maria Theresa, and the 'fairy-tale' reforms of Emperor Joseph II.
- You will discover how life was for Mozart in Vienna; why the Viennese have been starting their days for over 300 years with the 'destruction' of Turkish symbols; how 'tasty' St. Stephen's Cathedral is; and about the Order of the Golden Fleece, Napoleon, and much more.
- My stories will be accompanied by a tasting of imperial delicacies (included in the tour price).
- If you wish, we can have a coffee break at one of the finest Viennese cafes (not included in the tour price).
After this tour, Vienna will no longer seem to you like an unfamiliar indifferent city but will vividly paint itself with the bright colors of its grand history and creators, reveal its secrets and embrace you - so warmly and homely that you will forget about your foreignness and feel like a true royal!
