Experience Austria as a living narrative. Each of my signature tours is a meticulously crafted “chapter” where history, culture, and local flavor merge into one seamless, soul-stirring story.

“It was the kind of day that reminds you why you travel — beautiful scenery, meaningful moments, and a guide who genuinely cares.“

“Our trip from Vienna to the Wachau Valley was absolutely unforgettable! Long created a very special itinerary for us — she truly went above and beyond. I had long wanted to visit a winery that was one of my husband’s favorites, and thanks to Long’s thoughtful planning, that dream came true. When we arrived at the winery, we were greeted like old friends, and the experience felt both personal and authentic. Throughout the day, Long continued to surprise us with breathtaking views of the Danube, picture-perfect medieval villages, castles, and monasteries — each stop paired with fascinating stories and local insights that brought the region to life. It was the kind of day that reminds you why you travel — beautiful scenery, meaningful moments, and a guide who genuinely cares. I can’t recommend Long and her tours highly enough. Anyone would love spending a day exploring with her!”

“We were a group of six on a 25-day tour through Austria, Southern Germany and Switzerland, Long meticulously designed and aligned the itinerary with us, ensuring a comprehensive yet well-balanced journey that matched our pace. Each daily excursion was thoughtfully curated—never superfluous, always intellectually stimulating. She personally executed the tours with flawless precision, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that each of us felt comfortable throughout. Thank you so much, Long!”

“This is perhaps the best single tour I have ever taken, anywhere. Long, followed all my pre-arranged requests to provide a comprehensive tour of Vienna taking in many of her usual highlights plus several places I requested that are not included in most tours, such as the final resting places of Beethoven and Schubert and places they lived. She drove her car to all stops, finding good parking places and easy walking. She provided superb historical/geographical context and is a very enjoyable companion.”

“Long was the best tour guide. She went above and beyond to plan my itinerary. She perfectly managed all the logistics so I could see all the sights I wanted within my short stay. Long is so knowledgeable about history and I was so enlightened. She speaks multiple languages fluently, so she can easily accommodate and communicate with everyone. On top of it all, she took terrific photos for me to capture my memories. I am so grateful for Long and sincerely appreciate her efforts and tours!”
