Add this private music history tour to your list - Our guide Lisa was excellent! We started with a walk around the area then entered the State Opera House with skip the line tickets. Lisa is very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Touring with Lisa felt like hanging out with a great friend! - Touring with Lisa Felt Like Hanging Out with a Friend!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Lisa as our guide, and she was truly fabulous. Her depth of knowledge about music history was astounding and made the experience unforgettable. Lisa’s energy was infectious! She was cheerful, enthusiastic, and genuinely engaged with us throughout the tour.
What stood out most was her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and included. Conversation with her was effortless; she’s not only incredibly smart but also has a great sense of humor. Her excellent English made communication a breeze, and we enjoyed plenty of laughs along the way.
Lisa also went above and beyond by recommending fantastic spots to explore, which added even more value to our time with her. By the end of the tour, it honestly felt like we were spending time with a friend. If you have the chance to take a tour with Lisa, don’t hesitate you’re in for a wonderful time!

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!

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.
