Hi, I’m Claudia

Vienna
4.0 (1)

As an archaeologist, I combine urban history with the iconography of the Habsburgs to reveal the stories hidden behind Vienna’s elegant façades. I love strolling through the City Center, Prater, Stuwerviertel, and Spittelberg, uncovering layers of the past beneath the vibrant present. Whether we’re exploring ornate architecture or sharing a hearty Viennese meal of gulasch, schnitzel, and pastries in a traditional coffee house, my goal is to help you experience Vienna’s charm through local eyes and leave with unforgettable stories.

Here’s how I can help make your experience unique.

What I love most about Vienna is how you can walk through centuries in a single afternoon - from Roman ruins beneath the streets to baroque palaces and the quirky Hundertwasserhaus. I’m fascinated by the Viennese way of savoring life, whether it’s a long coffee at a traditional café or a sunset at a Heuriger in Grinzing. I know the Inner City inside out and can guide you through its hidden courtyards, vibrant neighborhoods, and stories of Imperial history, architecture, coffee culture, and Vienna’s rich queer heritage. Walking, exploring, and sharing the city’s layers with guests never gets old!

Hi, I’m Dagmar

Vienna

What I love most about Vienna is its living history - walking through the city feels like stepping into a storybook, from baroque palaces and hidden courtyards to streets that whisper centuries of tales. I’m inspired by the music that fills the air, from Mozart and Beethoven to Strauss, and the café culture where tradition and conversation blend perfectly. I love losing myself in the Kunsthistorisches Museum or experiencing concerts at the Musikverein. I know neighborhoods like the First District and Cottageviertel very well, and I strive to bring Vienna’s art, palaces, churches, and history to life through engaging stories that are as entertaining as they are enlightening.

Hi, I’m Felix

Vienna

Growing up in medieval Clam Castle sparked my passion for Austria’s rich history and art, and I loved leading guests through the castle museum. After studying business in Vienna and Edinburgh and working in the paper industry, I turned my hobby into a career, organizing and guiding music and cultural tours across Europe. During the pandemic, I became a certified Austria guide, and now I enjoy sharing Vienna’s grandeur and local charm with visitors. I know neighborhoods like Leopoldstadt and Naschmarkt very well and love helping guests explore the city’s music, history, and art in ways that are engaging, memorable, and fun.

Dagmar is the best! This is the forth time i booked a tour with CU, and it was my favorite one. Dagmar was empathetic with the fact that our arrival to Vienna was a disaster and we arrived later than expected needing to rearrange the tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, architecture, art and food in Vienna. She is not only kind but very welcoming. I highly recommend this tour to anyone and I hope you get Dagmar as your guide! This is an incredible way to start your trip to Vienna! Danke shön Dagmar.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.
