We had the pleasure of having Martha as our tour guide in Vienna for a few days and I do not have enough words to describe what an amazing experience it was. She's extremely knowledgeable of Vienna's history, sites and insider's tips. Walking through the streets of Vienna with her was a time travel experience and we look forward to coming back and doing it again. Thank you Martha for your impecable service and hope to see you again soon!Posted on Google

We did a wonderful private tour with Ms Tretter through the old town and Schoenbrunn in Vienna. She’s the most pleasant, kind and fun tour guide ever. She knows absolutely everything about Vienna, the history of every little corner and put everything we saw into context, which made the whole thing very interesting. She kept both us and our 20yo son entertained throughout the whole tour. I definitely recommend Ms Tretter for anyone willing to understand a little of Vienna and learn the hidden spots of this most wonderful city.Posted on Google

MARTHA is an excellent guide, all of our guests of Hotel Bristol, are very happy with her tours. What they mostly like, that she is very knowledgeable and knows lots of stories to tell.Posted on Tripadvisor

Highest Possible Recommendation Highest possible recommendation! Martha Tretter is exceptionally knowledgable, professional and friendly. We have toured twice with Martha and have referred her to several friends -- all of whom share our rave reviews. On our most recent trip, she went out of her way to research some family history for us which made out visit that much more special. Also, she is especially good at guiding for both older and younger tourists -- makes everyone feel like a VIP. She also helped us identify the best places to shop for local clothing. She speaks perfect English.
Wonderful people
Touching moments
Lasting memories
Vienna to read.
And to ride.
Martha Tretter has written two books about Vienna, both published by Droste Verlag in German: one for everyone looking for green Vienna on foot, and one for everyone who wants to discover the city from the saddle. Each book has a matching tour with Martha, and about both she loves to tell in person, on the street or at a reading.
On foot · 80 green places
Grüne Glücksorte in Wien
Palace gardens, quiet courtyards, natural bathing spots and vineyards on the edge of the city: 80 places where Vienna breathes, with the stories behind them. And the matching tour to Martha’s favourite green places in the old town.
By bike · 12 routes · New
Mit dem Rad durch Wien
Twelve routes to Klimt’s Art Nouveau, through old town lanes, to vineyards and Heurigen and down to the Old Danube, with GPS data to download. You ride one of the routes with Martha: half a day, with a break and sightseeing stops.
Both books are available from any bookshop in Austria and Germany, from Thalia and Morawa, directly from Droste Verlag or online. Both are in German. And if you would rather listen to Martha than read: she is happy to come for readings and talks, online too.

A Green Happy Place: Dehnepark
An enchanted park on the edge of Hütteldorf, a pastry shop that became Demel, and a film director as its former owner: Martha tells the story behind one of her 80 green happy places.

In Klimt’s Footsteps Through Vienna
From the Upper Belvedere to the Leopold Museum, the Secession and the Klimt Villa in Hietzing: Martha leads through the places that still shape Gustav Klimt’s Vienna.
