For Tour Leaders

Leading the Program,
Not Just Showing It

Vienna as One Stop Among Several

As a tour leader, you guide groups over several days, often through several cities. Vienna is usually just one stop – but it still has to work: the highlights, the timing, the handover to local guides. This training is for tour leaders who want to fit Vienna confidently into the bigger itinerary, not for licensed Vienna guides who lead walks through the city themselves.

Martha Tretter, a licensed Vienna guide, shares not just facts but the craft: how to keep a group engaged when the day has already been long, and how the handover to local guides goes smoothly.
