“Richard was an excellent guide!!! The places were magical and he made the trip comfortable for everyone! The only bad thing in this trip was the office! They cancelled our reservation a day before the trip due to capacity and they told us in the beginning it was due to the weather. Anyway, luckily the problem solved and we had the best time! Thank you Richard !”
Spend about 2 hours and 15 minutes inside Vienna’s Upper Belvedere with a private art historian guide, usually Julia. You’ll study the palace, gardens, and art from the Middle Ages through the 20th century, including Klimt’s The Kiss. Skip-the-line admission and a private format make this a focused choice for art lovers and curious first-time visitors.
“An absolute masterclass & a must do in Vienna. My wife and I enjoyed an exclusive private tour of almost 3 hours with Julia in the Belvedere. We learned not only about the art in the museum, but the historical context for Vienna and Austria as a whole. We did this on our last day in the city & were glad of that as we had a better perspective having already been in town for a week. This tour is not inexpensive, but worth every cent for those who have a curiosity about art, architecture and history.”
