Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Roxanne was phenomenal. She showed us so much and was very knowledgeable about the history surrounding all the sites. It was so nice to have the one on one experience and see places that locals frequent and enjoy. You will not be disappointed to book a tour with Roxanne. "
"Roxanne was wonderful. Great tour with a smart woman. Wish her all the best…. Ida, Erik and Gert / Denmark 🙂"
"Roxane is a nice, fun, person who is very knowledgeable about the activities of the Habsburgs in Vienna from the 17th century onwards. Whether I was walking with her across the city centre, Schonbrunn or Belvedere palace, she was the right person for the job of being my guide."
"Roxanne was very knowledgeable about the history and especially architecture and the different errors that rebuilt Vienna. She was also a sweet person. Highly recommend."
"Michael dazzled us with his knowledge of modern architecture and the master planning that went into making Vienna one of the most popular cities to live in worldwide. He has a talent for mixing facts with humor and shared anecdotes that brought the topic to life. We highly recommend Michael and this tour in particular to learn about modern Vienna. "

Belvedere means 'beautiful view' in Italian—and this palace lives up to its name. But beyond the façade lies art, history, and hidden gems that locals love to show off. Here’s how a private tour brings Vienna’s royal gem to life.
Klimt’s iconic painting draws crowds, but a private guide helps you skip the stress and truly soak it in. Learn how The Kiss broke artistic rules, why it’s wrapped in gold, and how it became Austria’s most beloved masterpiece.
Prince Eugene of Savoy built the Upper and Lower Belvedere as a retreat from court life. Your guide will walk you through its Baroque design, lavish halls, and how it transformed into a world-class art gallery.
Designed in perfect symmetry, the palace gardens offer peaceful walks, statues with stories, and postcard views. Your guide knows the best angles for photos—and the symbolism hidden in the layout.
Belvedere houses a treasure trove of Austrian modern art. A local guide helps you make sense of the wild expressions and dark emotion behind works by Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka.
It’s Italian for 'beautiful view'—and the palace earns its name. Your guide will point out exactly where to stand for the most breathtaking perspective over Vienna’s skyline.
Discover the Belvedere’s art, architecture, and aristocratic history with a private local guide. See Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss up close, stroll through the palace gardens, and uncover the real meaning behind 'Belvedere'—a beautiful view with a story to match.

"It is difficult to describe what a great experience it is to take a tour with Roxane. It is like having a pleasant conversation with a good friend, that is interspersed with great knowledge and insight for the object of the tour. In this case it was the gardens and history of Belvedere and Schonbrunn. In both cases they were brought to life with a charming insight to the flaws and fallacies of these stories Palaces."
" I spent an excellent afternoon walking around Vienna with my guide for the day. Our tour was accompanied by a pleasant, inspiring conversation. Roxana has an excellent knowledge of Vienna's landmarks, but she is also able to weave it into a much broader context. Highly recommended. Merci"
"If you are an architecture enthusiast, you shouldn't miss this tour in Vienna with Michael. He will show you the old and the new beautiful buildings, explaining its area, how they were build and backstory of the Architects. Michael is a local, in love with architecture and Vienna, so he answers any questions about the city, considering Vienna has a tons of great buildings, this is close to impossible. "
Each part has its charm. Upper Belvedere holds Klimt’s masterpieces. Lower Belvedere has imperial apartments and temporary exhibits. A local guide helps you make the most of both without rushing.
Want to admire art without a crowd? Or enjoy the garden in peace? Private guides can time your visit perfectly or steer you toward overlooked gems for a more relaxed experience.
From the fall of the monarchy to the signing of Austria’s independence in 1955, the Belvedere witnessed major moments in history. Your guide brings these layers to life with stories you won’t find on museum signs.
Yes, Napoleon marched through here. Your guide will share how the palace survived the French occupation, the World Wars, and what makes it a symbol of both culture and resilience.
After soaking in Klimt and the gardens, your guide can recommend the perfect Viennese café or wine spot nearby—because culture and cake go hand in hand in Vienna.
