Meet a Local Host
Hello, my name is Eric. I was born in Vienna in 1966. After history studies, I passed my exams to become an Austrian guide. I then traveled extensively and for many years lived in Spain, where I worked as tour guide and excursion manager. A few year's ago I returned to work in Vienna with my wife and two almost grown-up children. As a 'true Viennese' I am very proud of my city, and really enjoy showing and explaining it to people from all over the world.
