The world-famous melodies by Mozart and waltzes by Strauss have their origins in Vienna. They belong to this beautiful city just like St. Stephen’s Cathedral or the “Heuriger” and are its cultural heritage and landmark at the same time. From May to October, the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra plays the best-known works of Johann and Josef Strauss, lively operas and operettas, and duets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Emmerich Kálmán, and Franz Lehár. The orchestra accompanies internationally renowned opera singers and ballet soloists from Vienna’s popular opera houses. Just as Johann Strauss planned, and according to the tradition of all great Viennese orchestras, the musicians have prepared some musical jokes to delight the audience once again every evening! Programm highlights: Johann Strauss: "Die Fledermaus" – Ouverture W.A. Mozart: "Nun vergiß‘ leises Flehn" - ("Figaros Hochzeit") Josef Strauss: "Ohne Sorgen"- Polka Emmerich Kalman: "Heia, heia in den Bergen" ("Die Csardasfürstin") Johann Strauss: "Rosen aus dem Süden" - Walzer Johann Strauss: "Im Krapfenwaldl" - Polka Johann Strauss: "Eljen à Magyar" - Polka Johann Strauss: "Wiener Blut" - Duett Johann Strauss: "Vergnügungszug" - Polka Franz Léhàr: "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz" ("Land des Lächelns") W.A.

The Raxi (electric rickshaw) tour will show you exactly what you really want to see in Vienna. The route can be personalized based on your interests such as architecture or history, or as a tour guide i can suggest and design a route for you to make your experience in Vienna just perfect. I can pick you up from your hotel and drop you off at the place you want. You can experience Vienna almost as if you were walking and this without any effort, even if you are very tired. Raxi (my e-rickshaw) was specially designed in Holland (West Europe) for comfortable trips for two adults and was delivered on June 15th, so it is really brand new and in very good condition. Raxi is equipped with shock absorbers, a beautiful orange canopy, and a retractable footplate (for easy entry/exit). The engine is under my seats so no engine heat is radiated to the guests. Two walking sticks or hiking sticks can also be conveniently transported on a special frame. Enjoy places in Vienna that are unknown to tourists, such as the oldest Gothic residential tower in Vienna or the Danube Park. You can discover everything very comfortably and without tired legs with the panoramic Raxi-Tours. Please contact me by email (office@guide-nicole.com) or mobile to make your Vienna sightseeing dreams come true. If the weather makes a Raxi tour impossible, we can do almost the same tour using public transport. However, in this case we will also have to walk. Your pickup from your meeting point or hotel remains free. I will send you a message 48 hours in advance if the weather makes a trip with the RAXI impossible and only a tour by public transport is still possible so you can book my new Tour: "In Vienna like a Viennese: by public transport & walking" instead the Raxi tour. If you do not want to take a tour using public transport, you can also just cancel your booking free of charge.
