Good for Non Music Geeks - The tour was wonderful, especially for someone who possesses little classical music training. The tour guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.

Making Vienna Memorable - Once you’ve checked all the Vienna must-do sights, and it’s time to truly make your Vienna visit special, take this tour with Annelie. She’ll provide extraordinary insights into musical Vienna, the players, their music, and sites. And her enthusiasm is infectious. Note: despite our family being somewhat classical music novices, we still enjoyed this tour tremendously. A truly memorable experience.

Don't Hesitate to Take This Tour! - Our private Vienna music tour with Annelie was absolutely magnificent! Annelie was a thoroughly knowledgeable, friendly, and personable guide, who provided excellent information about the musicians who resided in Vienna, escorting us to key locations where they lived and made music. We loved how Annelie provided headsets so we could listen to various pieces of music that corresponded to the composers/locations, as well as a plethora of photos that enhanced the experience. She also willingly accommodated our requests. To top it all off, Annelie took us to a very special restaurant for our lunch at the conclusion of our tour. Do not hesitate to book this fabulous tour!

Annelie is WONDERFUL!! - We are a music-loving family and we came to Vienna to immerse ourselves in the city which was the birthplace of classical music. Annelie was the perfect guide, incredibly knowledgeable about the city and the history of the many famous composers who worked here. Annelie prepared a well-researched walking tour to show us highlights and tell us stories of what happened at each place. She brought many props to bring the anecdotes to life: printed photos, video clips and music selections to enhance our experience. As a bonus, she was very patient with our young daughter who needed a bathroom or a short rest several times. The day was hot so when our tour ended, Annelie was able to negotiate a table for us inside a lovely, cool and comfortable cafe overlooking the opera house where we lingered over a delicious lunch. She attended our every need and we learned so much! We highly recommend Annelie!!

Superb Music Tour - A Truly Special Experience - The tour with Annelie was superb. She is so knowledgeable and was very flexible adapting the tour to my interests.
She provided a wonderful overview of important moments in Vienna's music history together with relevant recordings and pictures. Playing an excerpt of Mozart's Requiem at the location of his memorial service brought me to tears.
She even took me to the Philharmonic offices to see if there were any returns for a concert that week. The only two seats available - on the stage behind the orchestra - would not have happened without her - so she was also responsible for one of our most memorable musical experiences ever.
This is a truly special tour with an outstanding guide - I cannot recommend her enough.

Don't Hesitate to Take This Tour! - Our private, three-hour walking tour with Annelie, an excellent guide with Insight Cities Vienna Tours, was the highlight of our visit to Vienna. Kind, knowledgeable, and friendly, Annelie escorted us to key places that connected us to Vienna's classical music heritage and was open to helping us exploring our stated interests. We enjoyed viewing Annelie's many photos/pictures that corresponded to the locations and listening to music of the composers we discussed. Annelie recommended a totally delightful restaurant for lunch at the end of our tour. We felt so fortunate to have Annelie as our guide, and she has our highest recommendation.
