Hello,
my name is Jan, I am licensed Austria Guide and I enjoy to show visitors some of the most attractive historical spots of Vienna!
As I believe in „you only see what you know“, let's walk and look together at some beautiful places and talk about their history and their celebrities.
The Habsburgs have been key players in Europe for 650 years and this you can still see and feel in Vienna.
Small groups, interaction and my enthusiasm is what you can expect.
Looking forward to meet you, to show you around and to answer your questions!
