We booked a private music tour with Lisa. She was very helpful before the tour with options traveling to the opera house where we met her. She was very informative and friendly and we learned a lot about the musicians who lived and worked in Vienna. It was really wonderful!
Hi Robyn! Thanks so much for your sweet review! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!! Have a great day!
Excellent walking tour, nice pace, interesting commentary. We had a group of 8 ranging from 14-seniors. Something for everyone. Highly recommend. Lisa our tour guide was superb.
Hi David, thank you SO much for your kind review!! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!!
Lisa is wonderful! She is so knowledgeable and engaging— it was my daughter & I’s first time in Vienna and she kicked off our trip perfectly. She tailored our tour to our interests, walked us through the major sites, and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend to any group of any ages!
Hi jennifer!! thank you so much for your kind review! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour :)
Lisa was such a bundle of joy during our music tour of the Vienna State Opera and the surrounding music buildings. She brought a very lively energy to her entire interaction with us. Even if members of your party aren’t super interested in music or history, her explanations of the architecture of the buildings were funny when appropriate which made the tour even more entertaining. On top of that, Lisa was very personable and there was never any awkward silence when in conversation with her. Lisa was always looking out for the group. When she heard that we were interested in seeing a concert in one of the churches in the city, she happily made the effort to check if there were still tickets available (Spoiler alert: She found out tickets were already sold out by the time she had asked, but the effort she made was greatly appreciated!) Would definitely recommend Lisa for future tours!!
Hi Liane!! Wow thank you for SUCH a kind review!! i am SO happy you enjoyed the tour, and I had so much fun with you and your family!! I hope you all enjoyed Elektra!!
Lisa is the best! amazing! She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Lisa went out of her way to accommodate our needs — we were a group of four adults and two children, and she made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. We all adored her! Touring Vienna with Lisa was a wonderful experience - not only did we enjoy the walk, but we also learned so much thanks to her insights and storytelling.
Hi Tina, thanks SO much for your wonderful review!!! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour so much :)

We had an amazing experience with Lisa as our guide. It was like seeing the city with an old friend! She had an encyclopedia of knowledge of not just the Opera House, but throughout the city on our walking tour. I could not figure out how to see the Opera House because it is off season for the Opera and Lisa made it all work. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
We just had a wonderful tour of the musical highlights of Vienna with Lisa! She was warm, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We booked this tour specifically because our oldest son is a musician and interested in classical music and history…Lisa filled us in on all sorts of interesting stories and details about Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler and many others. She had a wonderful repoire with our whole family. Thanks so much Lisa! (Also, fyi to fellow travelers, there is no Venmo in Europe!! Don’t get caught without cash for tips! So sorry Lisa!)
Hi Donna!!! Thank you SO much that lovely review!!! :) You guys were the BEST and I had so much fun with you all!! And I learned so much too!!! Thank you again!
We thought this tour was very thorough and that Lisa was very kind and energetic. Her knowledge about the Opera House and surrounding areas was very insightful.
