Julia was a really knowledgeable expert on art history and provided us with a stimulating and provocative insight into the evolution of art, Klimt and The Kiss. I'm no art history expert but learnt a lot from this tour. If you're looking for intellectual stimulation and the story behind the picture, look no further.

The tour person never showed up. We ended up buying tickets and touring ourselves with an audio guide. Then we got charged by the tour operator! $343.36. Be careful.

Klimt It was a pleasure to have a tour with Julia tracing back the roots of Klimt’s art. Being a tour-guide myself I choose carefully tours while travelling and I always look for somebody who could not just tell the facts but what is behind it. It was very interesting to find roots of 1900 art in the medieval gothic art, in 18th century experiments, in baroque. I loved the way how the facts and interpretations were put together. So definitely recommend it for those who are open for the discussion and reflection about art, its roots and new perspective for modernism.

Julia was very informative about the background to the art world of Vienna and how and why these changes influenced the new movement. It was a delight to be shown the important pieces in the Belvedere collection and then the stories behind not only the Klimt artworks but the others that followed. Allow at least 2.5 hours to do this tour.

A bucket list item fulfilled by Julia. I had planned my trip to Central Europe with my heart set on seeing the world famous “Klimt” and the way Julia unraveled his masterpiece as a final spectacle, is something I will remember forever. She began the tour by breaking his inspirations into different centuries and styles while giving a great sense of art scene in Vienna in the 1900s overall and even before that. Her background as an art historian makes her knowledge deep and her exposure to theology was impressive. Her oration was nuanced, detailed and laced with emotion and love for Gustav Klimt’s works and when we left the museum, I felt I had seen this masterpiece in the most remarkable way! Please book this for sure and you will make a memory of a lifetime. If you are an art enthusiast, Julia is your go to person in Vienna. She even went over Schiele’s work with me! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!!

Øvre Belvedere er et fantastisk kunstmuseum, et "must" når man er i Wien, og er interesseret i malerkunst. Nedre Belvedere er mere moderne kunst, men da også absolut et besøg værd. Der er i øvrigt en dejlig spadseretur mellem de to bygninger. Til øvre Belvedere kan det anbefales at købe billetter hjemmefra, ellers kan man risikere at stå i kø længe, for at komme ind.
