Biography

I have been living in this wonderful city for more than 20 years and I fell in love with Salzburg from the start. Curious and with a lot of expertise, I got to know the most impressive and beautiful places as well as many mysterious stories about Salzburg.

French charm conquers Salzburg

As a certified tourist guide (Austria Guide), I would like to show you all these unique treasures and give you an unforgettable experience. In addition to the « classics » such as the walking city tours, I offer various themed guided tours such as the Mozart Tour where you will learn all about the genius born in Salzburg or the Mirabell Palace with its splendid garden or the very special St. Sebastian’s cemetery with Wolf Dietrich of Raitenau’s Mausoleum.

How about a gastronomic tour that not only includes a guided tour of Salzburg, but also provides the opportunity to indulge in the region's delectable specialties? This experience is a must for culture and culinary enthusiasts alike. Additionally, I would be delighted to showcase the breathtaking lake and mountain regions surrounding the state capital. My guided tours are available in English, German, French, or Italian. Feel free to contact me to learn more and start planning your unforgettable adventure in Salzburg!
