Discover Vienna in a Vintage Car

Open-air, electric and unhurried. A private ride along the Ringstraße and through the old town – with stories from a local at the wheel.

The ride

Vienna was built to be admired at walking pace. Our vintage electric car rolls just a little faster – silently, with the roof open – past palaces, parks and the parliament of a vanished empire.

Every ride is private. Every driver is a Viennese who knows the stories behind the façades.

The tours

Three ways to ride

Every ride is private – just you, your companions and your guide. Prices are per car, not per person.
