TOP NOTCH TOUR OF ART NOUVEAU VIENNA - Barbara, was a great guide for the Vienna’s Art Nouveau tour. We visited important sites including Secession House and Otto Wagner-designed buildings. She provided historical background and answered our varied questions about history, art, Vienna past and present. She could not have provided us a more thorough, useful and pleasant experience.

Wonderful architecture tour! - If architecture is your passion, then this tour is for you! Our guide, Annelie, was a wealth of information about Vienna Secessionism (Vienna’s brand of Art Nouveau), and about Vienna itself.
We met outside a traditional Viennese café, where we found our jetlagged selves craving coffee. Alas, coffee “to go” is not commonly available in Vienna, where coffee is meant to be slowly sipped and savored over a newspaper (or several newspapers). Hence, the tour began with coffee and pastries (yum!) inside the café with Annelie giving us an overview of the tour and of Vienna Secessionism.
Once on foot, we covered a wide territory (including a ride on the U-Bahn) and saw some beautiful and unique architecture. The Vienna Secessionist building was a highlight, and Annelie’s description of Gustav Klimt’s “Beethoven Frieze” inside the building was particularly helpful (note—entrance fee to the building is not included in the price of the tour). Wandering through Otto Wagner’s Postal Savings Bank was another joy.
I highly recommend this tour for architectural aficionados!

Hihglights of Jugendstil or the New Art - The Bthoven Fies in the Sezession but as well the Majolikahouses near by the Naschmarkt. And last but not least the Zacherl-house in the downtown.

Art Nouveau Walking Tour - December 2024 - My wife and I had Wolfgang take us around Vienna. My wife was familiar with the nouveau movement but I was not so it was definitely an education, and it was really interesting to see a side of Vienna which I think is very easy to overlook and frankly which you would never see if you were exploring on your own. He was also very helpful in giving other tips and sharing his knowledge of Vienna as well. An enjoyable three hours with the weather in our favour!
