Privattour. Sie gehen nur mit Ihren eigenen Leuten und Ihrem Guide, nie mit fremden Gästen. Mehr als zehn?
The emperor did not do his own shopping. But he knew exactly where. The imperial and royal court purveyors were allowed to hang his coat of arms above their door, and some of them still do: Demel on the Kohlmarkt, Lobmeyr with the chandeliers for the Hofburg and the Met, Scheer with the bespoke shoes, the Schwarzes Kameel with the sandwiches people queue for. On this tour we walk from house to house, and the doors open: a look into the bakery, the room full of shoe lasts. You learn what the privilege meant, who lost it, and why Vienna loves its traditional houses so much. With tasting and with time.
The route follows Kohlmarkt, Graben and Neuer Markt. Two to three houses open their doors for the group; which ones depends on the day of the week and availability. We agree this with you when you enquire.
A sandwich snack at the Schwarzes Kameel can be added as a building block. You choose it in your request.
For guests who want to get to know Vienna through its houses and craftspeople, for corporate groups as a side programme, and for anyone who has been here before and wants to see something new.
