Overview

Listen to highlights of Vienna’s musical masterpieces on headphones along with expert commentary from your music historian guide on a walking tour that helps you discover the world’s most famous composers: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven among others. This 3-hour Vienna music tour takes you by the major sites where these legends lived and performed. You’ll explore monuments built to honor them in the “City of Music.” As a counterpart, we examine the impact of the Habsburg family’s patronage on Vienna’s development into the world capital of classical music. Visit Stephansdom, performance venue for Haydn and Mozart, Salieri and Vivaldi. Stroll by Mozarthaus where Mozart wrote many of his famous operas and instrumentals. Pass by Beethoven’s monument and explore his erratic life, living in sixty apartments in Vienna. Pass by the palace where Archduke Rudolph took piano lessons with Beethoven. Consider the musical dominance of Vienna at the legendary State Opera House and Musikverein.

Custom walking tour with a lover of music and history

Published on Apr, 2024

We enjoyed how Annalie made the tour personal and helped us see the significance of music in Vienna. She answered all of our questions and was a delight! We highly recommend her tour!

Good for Non Music Geeks

Published on Jan, 2024

The tour was wonderful, especially for someone who possesses little classical music training. The tour guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.

Unmissable for history of music in Vienna

Published on Nov, 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Annelie… she is extremely knowledgeable and can tailor the tour to your interests as well as your level of knowledge of the topic. Highly recommended! Next time, I will commission Annelie to recommend/ curate musical performances and special sights around Vienna. She’s fabulous!

Making Vienna Memorable

Published on Aug, 2023

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!

Published on Aug, 2023

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!
