Stories of leadership and greatness in Vienna:
What makes a great leader? This question stands at the center of our Leadership and Greatness tour. Vienna’s history offers many examples of leadership, from emperors and military commanders to mayors and political figures. Some were prepared for their role, while others faced moments where leadership became a necessity.
As we move through the city, we look at different leadership styles and decisions. Some figures were known for strategy, others for new ideas or strong vision. There are also stories that show the risks and consequences of power. These examples offer practical insights that can be applied to both professional and personal life.
This tour works well for teams, students, and private groups looking for something engaging and meaningful. It combines history with real-life lessons and encourages discussion along the way. Whether for team building or a special event, it offers a different way to experience Vienna.

- Explore leadership stories from Vienna’s past
- Learn from different leadership styles and decisions
- Gain practical insights for work and everyday life
- Ideal for teams, students, and private groups

Why this tour?
On our “In the Footsteps of Greatness” tour series, we aim to dive deeper into history and derive conclusions that can serve as life lessons. Instead of focusing on the “what”, we focus on the “how” and the “why” for a more profound experience.
In our eyes, every historical figure can be a mentor if we only walk in their footsteps. It can tell us what to do, how to act as well as what to avoid. For teams, learning from historical figures can bring a new and unique perspective and show that we have a lot in common with many of history’s greatest leaders. They, like us, needed to adapt to new situations, to react quickly, to take risks and overcome incredible challenges. We are convinced that the added value of this tour will go even beyond our regular, fascinating walking tours in Vienna.
