If you want to visit the Stateopera in a SMALL GROUP and hear funny facts about the celebrities of the opera and the ballet, this is your tour!
The tickets are already included in the price. The entrance ONLY is possible at the times specified by the Opera (and it depends on rehearsals & performances). If it is not possible to enter, I can guide you in the House of Music or the Mozart House instead.
The tour starts IN FRONT of the MAIN ENTRANCE of the Opera.
Additionally, we´ll take a walk in the center and I´ll show you where they keep the original recipe of the Sacher cake, where Johann Strauß met his first wife and why there´s a hare statue at the sausage stand next to the museum Albertina.
We´ll also pass near the Capuchin Crypt where the Habsburgs remains rest in peace and end up your tour at the fantastic St. Steven’s Cathedral.

Giselle is lovely, so kind, funny, full of knowledge about history, music and all things Vienna. She is communicative prior to meeting and able to pivot at ease based on client's wishes and interests. Couldn't recommend her more highly for any aspect of Vienna.

Giselle is so lovely, kind, engaging and full of encyclopedic knowledge about the Opera House and Austrian history. Based on what we had already seen in days' prior, she pivoted plans quickly to adapt to our interests and needs within the city center. We traveled with a group ranging in ages from 11 to 75 and she was engaging for all. Lastly, Giselle is hyper responsive and great at communicating before the tour, to make sure you know where to meet. Thank you for a lovely time, Giselle.

Very insightful, a llt of interesting information given on how the opera really operates. Interesting for people who are not all that interested in opera.

A personal tour of the opera with insights behind the scenes, away from the large crowds of tourists.

My experience with Giselle was very good! Her telling is excellent.
I like it how much she is involved into the subject!
Every fact, every story she told us, opened the Vienna Opera for me from new sides!
Besides she is very pleasant person, it was very nice to talk to her after the excursion, she can give you good tips for other sightseeings in Vienna!
Highly recommended, from my experience, you can’t ask for a better guide.

We had a group tour in Vienna state opera, and Giselle could make it interesting for everyone. It was a real pleasure! She knows a lot about Opera and Vienna, but her tour was not formal, she has coloured facts and numbers with funny stories and very positive attitude.

I had a wonderful tour to the State Opera. The tour was around the whole building including the stage, Emperor Private Salon and the Royal balcony. Buffet rooms with decorations of various epochs (50s, 60s, 80s). Moreover, Giselle wrote a book about the Opera, which you can buy at a local shop.
If you with to learn the Opera from inside, I would really recommend Giselle as a guide!
