We are very pleased with Selin as she is full of information about Vienna and its hisory. I must admit we had a challenging time trying to remember who is who but Selin is very patient with us. The pace of walk was just right for us at our age and Selin was constantly checking with us and giving us options given the limited time we had with her. Nonetheless a very worthwhile walking tour and we are know much more knowledgeable about Vienna than when we started. Thank you SelinA very informative Vienna walk

My wife and I had an excellent tour with Susanne of the Schonbrunn Palace. She is a wealth of knowledge. Provided us with great context for all that we saw and detail about the Hapsburgs and Austrian and European history. We learned a lot and enjoyed Susanne's ability to teach without overloading. After we finished the Palace, we had a fantastic walk through the gardens. Susanne answered all of our questions and was extremely clear and personable. Can't wait to come back with our adult children to tour with her. Highly recommend a tour with Susanne. Informative and Friendly - Highly !!!

Die Zeit mit Anita war eine tolle Kombination aus Food-Tour, Stadtspaziergang und historischem Wissen rund um Wien. Anita hat uns zu kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten geführt, die uns sonst gar nicht aufgefallen wären. Dazu sehr interessante Einblicke in die Historie und Kultur Wiens und den traditionellen Speisen, sowie dem ein oder anderen Glas Wein. Ein sehr kurzweiliger Nachmittag, geprägt von Anitas charmanten Art und ihrem tiefen Wissen. Ich kann die Tour Anita nur wärmstens empfehlen.Highlight unseres Wien Besuchs

This was our second time in Vienna and having toured the main sites last year, we decided to explore the city via a food tour. It turned out to be great decision as Susanne gave us a brand new introduction to Vienna. This was far more than a food and drink tasting tour. Susanne's experiences of growing up in Vienna give her great perspective on what has changed over the years and what stays the same. We were introduced to many interesting places and all the food and drinks were outstanding. Thank you, Susanne for making this a fun way to get to know Vienna. Fabulous all round

Suzanne really brings to life the downtown city with her local knowledge, finding gems while being flexible to fit our interests. She is very friendly and a wonderful host. I will say the tour description is a little deceptive, suggesting 10 tastings. We ended up visiting six places (ice cream, wine tasting, polish sandwiches, Viennese coffee with Apfel strudel, an amazing specialty chocolate shop and some street sausages. For two people, the price seemed a little much. Perhaps a small adjustment for the smaller amount of food/drink consumed would make sense for only two people.Relaxing food tasting experience

Susanne gave us a wonderful uniquely tailored tour for our small group. I contacted Susanne about an evening tour because we didn’t like the tour our river cruise was offering—but we wanted to visit Vienna at night. She developed a bespoke tour for us, that considered our interest, and had a great sense of fun. A bit of culture, history, fun and spooky all wrapped up together. We joined her for drinks and dinner, and then we walked all around the center of old Vienna. We got to see the lovely capital in the evening, while being entertained by our guide. We all said how this tour was our highlight in Vienna. Susanne is a wonderful guide, who really went out of her way to meet our requests. We give her our highest recommendation. If you want a special tour that is made for you then reach out to Susanne.A bespoke evening tour in Vienna

Anita was a lot of fun, she took us to some great spots. We tried many different local foods that we probably would not have done on our own. She was very well prepared which made our trip go smooth and fun. We loved all the foods and wines that she picked out! We would highly recommend her and if we come back would definitely use her again. Awesome tour!

We booked Claudia-Maria for 2 x 1/2 day English walking tours and gave her a list of what interested us. She created a bespoke tour for our group of 10 (ages ranging from 18-80), which included city highlights, the amazing Hundertwasser & Hadid buildings and a guided castle tour. We learned so much about the history of Vienna and even some archeological insight as Claudia Maria is involved in local excavations. She is an amazing guide and would certainly recommend her!Fairytale Castles & Architectural Wonders

Hiring Roxanne to show us around Vienna was a wonderful decision. Roxanne tailored our walking tour of Vienna to our family’s needs (some physical limitations). She also was very willing, accommodating, and flexible to find a driver that could drive us since we had someone on our tour with limited walking capabilities. She has a kind and friendly disposition, and wonderful knowledge of the history of Vienna. Her ability to navigate the city and help with translation while visiting a coffee house were extremely helpful. She felt like family by the end of our 3 hour walking tour.What A Gem!

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
