About Tour Guide Stephan T.
Hello there,
I'm a historian with expertise on the 20th century in Austria and Europe. I'm writing my thesis about cultural and museum policies during the 1930s/1940s/1950s in Vienna.
Beside that and more important to you I'm a passionate guide since 2015 who can't wait to make people fall in love with Vienna and its region.
I especially guide private groups, families and individuals. Often with a Jewish background since I lived in Israel a couple of years and during my graduation also studied Israel and Jewish studies at Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva, Israel. I love walking tours. I love food tours. I regularly guide guests through Schönbrunn Palace, Hofburg Palace, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Treasury, St. Stephan's cathedral etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

The soul behind the scenes or: The core beyond your expectations Looking behind the scenes and telling stories has always been my passion. Growing up in Salzburg and the Salzkammergut region, I have loved finding out exciting things in the simplest of things since childhood and passing on what I have found out is actually an even greater one. What good is all that "useless knowledge" if you can't share it? 25 years as a production manager and researcher in film have made me sure that what's behind is more exciting than what you see in the first moment. My enthusiasm for the story at hand sometimes carries me away in such a way that I find it hard to let it fall into secrecy. And then the idea came up to turn all this knowledge and the desire to pass it on into something meaningful. From there it was not far to the training as a guide. Three years later and a few exams later I started to practice this profession and I realize that it is more and more fun to see how people get involved in what I am telling them. As a guide, I don't see myself as a data mediator, but rather as the one who brings the local attitude to life closer to his guests and makes it possible to experience it; this is not possible with pure numbers, data and facts, which are also important, but it is much more important for me to bring out the individual fates and their influences up to the present day. Of course, this may, no! - must sometimes come along with a mischievous wink, it is precisely the irony and humor that make up the actual "flavor" of things. Truth is too important a commodity to be sacrificed to pure objectivity, since it is never black and white and can usually only be found between the lines. I have always been searching for this truth and it is important to me to convey it.

Servus and a warm hello from Vienna! I'm Maria—your passionate, state-certified Vienna Guide, solo entrepreneur, and proud powerhouse behind unforgettable Vienna experiences. My tours are all about authenticity, warmth, and personal connection. Think of them as more than just sightseeing—they're carefully crafted journeys through Vienna’s iconic landmarks and hidden corners, infused with charm, curiosity, and a touch of elegance. I blend the welcoming spirit of the countryside with the sophistication of the city, offering you a truly unique way to discover Austria’s capital. My story began with a degree in Tourism Management, taking me across Europe and eventually into the world of finance after studying European Economies. But my heart always belonged to history, art, culture, and most of all—people. That passion led me back to what I truly love. After an intensive two-year university program and passing the rigorous state exam, I proudly became a certified Austrian tour guide. Whether you're fascinated by history, drawn to fine art, or just love uncovering local secrets (and indulging in delicious bites along the way!), my personalized tours are designed to bring Vienna to life in ways that are engaging, insightful, and unforgettable. Let’s explore Vienna together—with curiosity, laughter, and a touch of magic.
