Hi there! My name is Lisa, and I currently work as a tour guide in Vienna, Austria! I'm Austrian-American, half raised in Austria and half in the United States, and I LOVE showing my guests beautiful Vienna, regaling them with fun (often scandalous!) and historical stories about the city, and ensuring they have an unforgettable experience while here! My favorite movie is The Sound of Music, so I also welcome any fellow Sound of Music fans and we can burst out in song together ;) When I'm not guiding, I love spending time with my husband and three young daughters (who also love The Sound of Music - Parenting Win!).

Tour description
Uncover the strange, eerie, and true stories of Vienna’s Old Town, guided by a native English speaker and weird stories enthusiast!
Vienna goes by many names: the City of Music, the Golden Apple, the City of Dreams. One thing it has never been called is boring. Behind the grand facades and elegant boulevards lie stories just as extraordinary as the city itself.
Join us on a journey through Vienna’s Old Town as we uncover the legends, myths, and true tales woven into its streets and monuments. From mysterious courtyards and secret alleys to the mighty walls of the Hofburg Palace and the soaring heights of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, every stop has a story to tell!
