An absolute must! - My family and I were in Vienna and this was our first tour while in town and it was absolutely the best decision! Lisa was our tour guide and she tailored the tour to what we wanted and she absolutely delivered! She gave us so much information about everything we looked at aside from the basic information on the plaques and signs. We also wanted non-music related information and she did that for us as well. We got a very comprehensive tour of the city center inside the Ring and we went inside the Opera House. I would recommend any tour with Lisa as she was so pleasant, a wealth of information and even texted ahead of time to tell me what she was wearing for the meet up so we found her instantly. Do not hesitate, book this tour!

Phenomenal walking tour with Lisa - We LOVED our tour with Lisa!! She was so enthusiastic, bursting with great information, and super flexible with us as we slowly wound our way around town. She also gave us a ton of great feedback on other places to go, and made the whole experience funny and entertaining. We will definitely book with her the next time we’re in town!

Awesome Musical History Tour with Lisa! - We had an amazing music tour with Lisa yesterday. She was extremely charismatic, knowledgeable, and engaging. Her history lessons were amazing—if not depressing lol—and her experience growing up in the US helped us bond. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves music and loves seeing the beautiful sites of Vienna.

A Highlight of our time in Vienna - We only regret that we scheduled this later in our week in Vienna, as Lisa’s music tour really gave us a better feel for the lay of the land as well as some understanding into the rich musical history of this beautiful city. Thanks to Lisa for her patience and flexibility with our little one as well as her fun and interesting musical guide through Vienna.

Music and more! - Lisa was amazing and the tour was excellent. Obviously the main focus was on music, but Lisa was happy to share details about other sites around the city. Having only a limited knowledge of certain mailrooms and stairwells in Vienna, I was thrilled to know more about this amazing city, its architecture, and culture. Lisa's effervescent and warm personality was a pleasure and you could tell that she thoroughly enjoyed sharing details, stories, and sites of her home town. I was surprised that she was from Vienna as she sounded like an American, but she shared she had studied and lived in the United States for some time. I would definitely recommend this tour and this guide.

Fantastic music and Vienna tour! - Our tour guide, Lisa, was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable about the music history of Vienna and Vienna in general. She was kind enough to fill in many pieces of information we were missing from a lackluster tour guide the day before. We had so much fun on this tour and learned so much! Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Vienna!
