​Private Tours in Vienna,
the Way the City Was
Meant to Be Seen.

A private tour means the vehicle, the guide, and the entire day belong to your party alone. No strangers, no fixed schedule, no compromises. The pace, the route, the stops, and the depth of the conversation are entirely yours to shape. If you want to linger longer at a palace, skip a stop altogether, or adjust the morning on the fly, your guide is there to make it happen. This is not sightseeing — it is Vienna, privately.

Yes. Every Imperial Travel Vienna guide holds an official Austrian government tour guide license — the highest professional qualification in the country, earned only after years of study and rigorous state examinations. We do not use drivers who simply "know the city well," freelance trainees, or unlicensed storytellers. You are with someone who has earned the right to stand in front of these buildings and explain them — with depth, accuracy, and the kind of insight that turns a day of sightseeing into a memory you'll still be telling years later.

Everything that matters. Hotel pickup and drop-off, the private vehicle for the full duration of your tour, and your licensed expert guide. No hidden charges, no surprises, no uncomfortable conversations at the end of the day. The only items not included are personal expenses — entrance tickets, meals, and optional gratuities — which your guide will be happy to handle on your behalf if you'd like.

From your hotel entrance, apartment, or any Vienna address you choose. Your guide or driver meets you at the door at the exact time you've selected — you do not walk anywhere, search for a meeting point, or wait on a curb. We come to you. And when the tour ends, we bring you right back to your doorstep.

Mercedes sedans, Mercedes minivans, and Tesla vehicles — all clean, recent-model, and driven by professional, punctual chauffeurs. The vehicle is carefully selected by us based on your party size at the time of booking, so you always have plenty of space, large windows, and the kind of quiet comfort that makes even a full day of touring feel effortless.

Of course — this is a private tour, which means it is yours to shape. Tell us what interests you most: imperial history, architecture, food and wine, Jewish heritage, music, a particular neighborhood, a specific family story — and we'll adjust accordingly. If you have specific requests or unusual ideas before booking, write to us directly. Most of the most memorable days we've ever arranged began with a single, slightly unusual email.

We recommend booking at least a few days ahead, especially during peak season (May through October) and the Christmas market period (late November through December). That said, we sometimes accommodate last-minute requests — if you're already in Vienna and decide you'd like a private tour tomorrow, write to us and we'll do everything we can.

Absolutely. Many of our guests travel with children, and our guides are experienced at adapting the pace, the language, and the focus of the day to keep younger travelers engaged. The vehicle provides comfort between stops, and the flexibility of a private tour means you can take breaks whenever you need them — no rushing, no rigid schedules.

All of our tours are available in English and German. If you require another language, write to us directly and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

We understand that travel plans change. Our cancellation terms are clearly stated at the time of booking, and we handle all changes personally. If you need to adjust the date, time, or tour, simply contact us — we are flexible and will always try to find a solution.

Yes. Our driver-guided tours by car or van are ideal for guests who prefer not to walk long distances. The vehicle drops you as close to each stop as possible, and your guide adjusts the itinerary based on your comfort. If you have specific mobility requirements, let us know when booking and we'll plan accordingly.

Of course. For parties of 9 or more, we arrange a Mercedes Sprinter minibus or a private coach, depending on group size. The same standard applies — licensed guide, hotel pickup, fully flexible itinerary. Write to us with your group size and interests and we'll prepare a tailored proposal.

Write to us directly — most inquiries receive a personal reply within a few hours.
