Susanne war sehr nett und hat uns tolle Lokale gezeigt und interessante Facts zu den Orten oder Wien erzählt. Die ersten beiden Stops waren auch super. Allerdings haben wir dann beim zweiten Stop recht lange gebraucht, sodass wir nach hinten raus zu wenig Zeit hatten, um noch etwas anständiges zu essen. Der dritte Stop war dann in einem Pralinenladen und der letzte ein Café zum Bier trinken. Es war also relativ wenig Essen bei der Tour und das letzte Café wirkte eher zufällig gewählt. Laut Beschreibung hätte es 6x Essen/Trinken geben sollen. Wir sind aber somit nur auf 4 Stops gekommen. Wir kennen das so anders von anderen Foodtouren, vor allem für diesen Preis.Gut, aber zu wenig Foodstops

This tour with Susanne is great in several key ways. One of our group members had a gluten allergy, and Susanne was empathetic and helpful to provide suggestions and alternatives; I think this was the biggest reason we had such a positive experience. Our group of four loves to learn about history, and so we enjoyed seeing the sights between each food stop and learning about them, as well as understanding the current and historical context behind the food we ate. There were more stops with smaller amounts of food, which I think was a good way to experience many different culinary environments. We still had time to linger at each place, so we did not feel like we were in a hurry. Susanne was a personable and friendly person to follow. Some tour guides seem like they're reciting a script or working on "auto-pilot," but with Susanne, conversation flowed naturally all while she led us through Innere Stadt. We felt comfortable with her, and I strongly recommend this tour with her!An inclusive and educational experience!

Unfortunately, this was a very poor tour and a complete waste of time and money. Virtually nothing that was listed in the tour web page was done, and only the most minimal information was provided on Vienna history, food, and coffee. Although Sandy was a pleasant person she spent most of her time asking us about ourselves rather than giving us insights into Vienna or its culinary highlights and tradition. Not a food tour or tour of any sort really

I highly recommend the Culinary Kickstart tour with Sandy. She is super friendly. We felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She took into account the dietary restrictions and was very accommodating. We loved seeing Vienna through her eyes. We tried lots of different savory and sweet dishes. Don't skip this when in Vienna!! Great culinary Tour of Vienna

Wir hatten eine schöne Stadtführung. Ingrid ist sehr nett und wir haben gute Informationen über die Stadtgeschichte erhalten. Leider ist aus unserer Sicht die Food Tour etwas untergegangen. Bei Buchung wurden 6 Kostproben online versprochen. Erhalten haben wir 3 verschiedene Kostproben und ein Getränk (ein traditionelle Brot-Schnitte, eine Wurst und einen Kuchen) Hier hätte ich mir mehr erwartet wenn ich eine Tour unter dem Titel “Culinary Kickstart Tour: Vienna” buche. In der Konditorei sollten wir uns je ein Stück Torte aussuchen, dies haben wir in einer Take Away Box mitbekommen und sollten dann unsere Torte bei - 4 Grad irgendwo im Stehen auf der Straße essen. Das war leider kein schönes Ende der Tour. Hier hätte ein Tisch im Café reserviert werden müssen oder alternativ eine Kostprobe auf die Hand zum schnellen essen.

We met Ingrid for a food/ history tour of Vienna. She asked us at the start if we wanted more history or more food - we said a bit of both. Ingrid was very knowledgable about all the monuments and pointed out lots of things that we wouldn’t have spotted by ourselves. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot more than we imagined. A really nice experience- thank you IngridInteresting tour on a very cold day

We booked 3 days (3 hours each) tour with Roxane last week. I shared the interests of the family in understanding the history of Vienna from ancient time to the world wars. She was patient and explained many important historical events and nuances that might not have been recorded in the broadest way. She made our visit to Vienna much more meaningful.

Our tour with Selin was absolutely incredible. Truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we met her, Selin's warmth, passion for Vienna, and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the experience unforgettable. She guided us through the most iconic sights as well as hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. Her storytelling brought every location to life, blending fascinating historical facts with charming local insights. Selin was not only incredibly professional and well-prepared, but also tailored the experience to our interests and pace, and her genuine love for Vienna was contagious. Thanks Selin!!!!An Unforgettable Tour with Selin!

Sandie was a very friendly and enthusiastic tour guide, very engaging with my daughter as well. We hit the highlights of Viennese cuisine and it felt like spending some time with a new friend. The only thing I would say could be improved based on other food tours we've taken is to get a bit more cultural and historical background. Overall definitely recommended.A very relaxed and friendly tour

Geschichtliche zusammenhänge wurden witzig in Anektoten verpackt und verknüpft mit was wir schon gesehen hatten -so merkt man sich wirklich was. Wir werden Sie jedenfalls weiter empfehlen- wir haben Sie als Private Führerin genommen, und das war super!!!Wirklich großartig & lustig!

Roxane had wonderful communication prior to the tour so I felt at ease with the whole process. Her knowledge of the city was superb and conversation with her during the tour was easy and comfortable. Highly recommended!! Thank you Roxane!Great decision

As this was our first time in Vienna, we chose a City Kickstart tour through Withlocals to get an overview and introduction of what to see. Our local guide, Roxana was amazing! In addition to her bubbly warm personality, she was a wealth of knowledge. In the relatively short time together, we learned more about the history, art, culture and unique aspects we never would have picked up in a large group tour or reading a visitors' guide. Doing this on foot was fanastic as we saw so much and knew exactly where we wanted to return to to spend more time and tour inside. Roxane amazed us with her depth of understanding the history: good, bad and quirky facts that were fascinating to listen to. For someone new to Vienna, this is the experience to start with and Roxane is the one to have it with!Wonderful introduction to Vienna!

A really great experience! Sandie can tell you a lot about Vienna as well as travelling to many other places. In terms of food, there is plenty to eat! It is a good mix of savory and sweet Austrian dishes. It is also a good introduction to the city's center -- this is a great thing to do on the first day of a stay in Vienna, as it will give you a good sense of both the city and the cuisine. Great introduction to Viennese cusine.

21 mayo 2025

Selin gave us a lovely mixture of history and food tastings that introduced us to Vienna beautifully. Our meeting point was not clear, however, so it was frustrating to be waiting for over half an hour in different places around the cathedral, both too worried about moving to look for each other! I suggest giving better instructions or even posting a photo of where to meet, telling clients what you will be wearing..the crowds at the Cathedral made it difficult! We were glad Selin didn't give up on us when our phones were not working and we eventually connected via email. A great tour, very personable and some great food! Laye start, but a good tour.

wir hatten eine famose Zeit mit Sandie, die uns in 3 Stunden einen prima Überblick über die Wiener Innenstadt gegeben hat uns, neben einem leckeren Wiener Schnitzel Lokal für den Abend auch einen grandiosen Kaiserschmarrn to go zeigte - vielen lieben Dank! ohne Sandie hätten wir weder den kuezen Blick in die Nationalbibliothek erhascht noch hätten wir für den Folgeabend zusätzliche Tipps erhascht. Gerne wieder, vielen Dank! Wiener Schätzchen

Sandie is a wonderful vivacious Guide. She was knowledgeable & engaging. She picked me up at my hotel & as we walked she explained the history & significance of the buildings & monuments. Her tour was perfectly pitched for a first time visitor. My food experience was amazing. I so enjoyed my sandwiches @ Trezesniewski. We next went to Cafe Engländer where I enjoyed the best Vienna Schnizel & potato salad - the dressing was delicious. I enjoyed my first glass of Viennese wine - similar to Riesling. Desert was at Cafe Diglas & even though I was fit to burst I managed to enjoy the most delicious Apple Strudel Sandie was generous with her time & my tour ran until its natural conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandie as a Guide. By the time we parted I felt I was saying goodbye to a friend. The Time Flew

Roxanne greeted us with charm and extensive knowledge about the Jewish history of Vienna. She led us to my father’s home, school and synagogue while giving us some in depth history. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Worth every penny. She made our visit to Vienna truly meaningful. Thank you!!!One od the best tours ever

Our tour with Selin was fantastic! She has deep knowledge of the culture and the history of Vienna and gave us a fantastic introduction to the city through her story telling. She mixed some hidden gems in with the big highlights, and you can tell she knows everything there is to know about Vienna. She was also able to answer every question we had throughout the three hours and often dived into her archive of photos on her iPad to bring a story to life or show how something would have looked in the past. Fantastic tour, I wouldn't hesitate to book with Selin again next time I'm back in Vienna. Thanks Selin!Most knowledgeable guide I have ever had!

Sandie from Vienna was a fun guide for my day trip to the Wachau Valley, delivering an experience that blended wine, culture, and local charm. From the moment we set off, her warmth, knowledge, and passion for the region made the journey engaging and memorable. Our first stop was a small winery run by her friend Phillip, who welcomed us with a fascinating tour of his vineyard. His insights into the winemaking process, paired with a tasting of his wines, set a high bar for the day. Sandie’s personal connection with Phillip added a special touch, making the visit feel intimate and authentic. Next, we visited another winery, this one led by one of the few female winemakers in the region—a friend of Phillip’s. Her expertise and unique perspective on the Wachau Valley’s wine culture were inspiring, and the tasting showcased an impressive variety of wines. After the tastings, Sandie arranged for us to join Phillip at a local restaurant, where we savored authentic Austrian cuisine that perfectly complemented the day’s wine-focused theme. On our return to Vienna, we made a stop at the stunning Grafenegg Castle and walked through the gardens while enjoying the perfect weatherWachau Wine Tour
