    Great tour with Julia!
    Tara_B, Mar 2024
    My daughter and I had a fantastic experience touring Kunsthistorisches with Julia. It was great going with someone whose knowledge of art was so deep and her appreciation even deeper. I would recommend it!
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Dear Tara, I am so glad to receive your kind review. It was a pleasure to give you both a tour of this stunning museum, and having a Classical Studies student in the Egyptian Collection was a special treat for me. Thank you!
    Fun, interactive, professional, world class.
    Joan_J, Sep 2023
    Our guide, Julia, was superb! I knew we had chosen the correct tour when Julia set academic goals for our visit to the museum. She made the tour interesting, fun and interactive. She was professional and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed her „lecture“ so much, we have booked her for another museum tour tomorrow. Don‘t hesitate to book with Julia; you will not be disappointed.

    Dear Joan, thank you again for all your wonderful compliments. It was a real pleasure to be your guide and to share thoughts with you on both Klimt and Schiele as well as on Marcus Aurelius and Julius Caesar. Thank you for your kind attention and encouraging words.
    Excellent tour
    Paul_M, Jul 2023
    Our guide, Julia, did a fantastic job of putting the tour in the context of broader Austrian history. She also brought additional props that were very instructive
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Dear Paul, thank you very much for your feedback. Your deep interest in art and history is what made it a real pleasure to give you this tour! It was a privilege to tell you about the Art History Museum's collection and I hope to have the chance to show you other museum collections on your next visit to Vienna.
    Insightful art viewing
    Jeffrey_H, Feb 2023
    The tour allowed us the opportunity to see all we wanted to see without being overwhelmed. Our guide Julia gave us a lot of insight into the different art we were looking at and why it was important. Definitely a learning experience.
    Response from Host, Feb 2023
    Dear Jeffrey, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! It is rewarding to hear that you had both enjoyable and learning experience. It would be my pleasure to explore Vienna art museums with you again in the near future. Regards, Julia
    A Magnificent Museum
    Ruth_C, Feb 2023
    Julia has a vast knowledge of art and art history. She gave us interesting insight into what makes a work of art great. I especially liked seeing the objects. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is exquisite.
    Response from Host, Mar 2023
    Dear Ruth, Thank you for the wonderful words! I'm glad you appreciated going beyond admiring the magnificent works of art and being open to the experience of a deep understanding. I am looking forward to seeing you on the next tour.
    Who made all this stuff and why is it here?
    Kent_M, May 2022
    My guide, Julia, used the museum's guidemap as a handy rubrik to explain an enlightening thesis to these questions. Her mini iPad was at the ready to broaden our journey with examples that cross reference an artwork with others and provide context. She personalized the talk with a few questions to start. In response, I requested Bronzino as a dessert course. Highly recommended! Also, there's a turqoise hippo.
    Response from Host, May 2022
    Dear Kent, I'm very glad that you enjoyed our tour and thank you kindly for your review. The pleasure to guide you was all mine.
