Our family of four had lots of fun with Sandy on the pastry tour. We were in Vienna just for the weekend and this was a great way to get a little history, try some well known pastries and experience a few of the coffeehouses. Sandy is lovely and knowledgeable about the city and ensured that we tried a wide variety of treats. We learned about some of the culture and the old and newer traditions in the city on our walk through the old town. Huge thank you and we hope to stay in touch. Great pastry tour with Sandy!

I give the tour a 10 out of 10! My husband and I were in Vienna and had a private pastry tour with Sandy. We had a wonderful experience. Sandy took us to places that only a local would know. We had some of the most delicious cakes and tortes topped off by an ice cream dumpling. Sandy was very knowledgeable about the history of Vienna, as well as the different foods we were having. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and engaging. We immediately felt like we were speaking to an old friend. We highly recommend both the tour and Sandy!Wonderful experience!

Susanne and I met in the freezing cold but the information and laughs that we shared made the temperature bearable. Susanne has a huge amount of knowledge that she shares with ease. She was flexible and she knew where we should walk for the best use of time. The tour is flat, easy to walk and lots of fun.Such a great tour!

What a wonderful tour! Susanne's sense of humor, attention to detail, and deep knowledge and understanding of both her city and the topic of pastries made this experience wonderful. I especially liked how she shared a bit of her personal history as a child in Austria - it made the tour feel that much more special. I'll definitely be reaching out for another tour next time I'm in Vienna! City of Music ... and Pastries

The desserts were are favorite, so we made a second trip there later in our trip. Would definitely recommend her tour if your looking for a wonderful time with a local. Fun in the City with a local

Sandy is a very warm and friendly guide. We spent an enjoyable day walking the streets of Vienna looking at buildings of interest and getting a feeling for Vienna. Although we would have liked more factual and detailed information about the architecture and history around what we saw. As a comment on the organisation, we were surprised to have to buy tickets for building entry or for the train on top of the tour price. It is better to be included in the price.

10/10 for Anita, who looked after our group incredibly well, with Viennese treats in her backpack, local history and current affairs at her fingertips, and plenty of images on file to bring it all to life for us. We finished the tour with drinks at a brilliant rooftop bar, offering great views and another round of photo opportunities. Anita speaks both German and English fluently, making her the perfect guide for our international group. And her sunny smile and great energy make her a pleasure to be with. Our three hours flew by. Thank you! Fantastic Vienna Introduction

Sandy was a really good host. She knew so much about the city and made us all feel very welcome. We loved the places Sandy took us to for food and wow that food was good. Our tour took longer than expected because we talked a lot and stopped to look at and ask questions about many things. Sandy was happy to be with us for that extra time and we really appreciated it. Many thanks Sandy for a wonderful time. Great experience

The tour had the perfect mix of sight seeing and food stops, all within the city centre. Make sure you arrive hungry, unlike some tours you will be treated to full sized meals and huge deserts. Great value for money, with Ann easy going host. Bravo!The best yet

I booked two different city tours for groups and found both exciting and entertaining. Claudia Behling knows a lot without being didactic, connects with the group, and came up with a special feature each time – be it archaeological finds to touch or the wonderful Grotto Railway ride. Thank you for the competent and extremely interesting tour through the Tulln Roman/City Museum. The explanations of the excavations were particularly impressive. It's great to get such an insight from a real expert/archaeologist on how archaeologists work and what is possible. Additionally, we were allowed to visit Hundertwasser's ship Regentag in Tulln Harbor. That was the absolute highlight.Private Groups Vienna

With her deep knowledge and through a very understandable way Selin managed to keep the attention of our kids throughout the whole tour.

Susanne is a very warm and engaging person, with an enormous amount of knowledge on Vienna due to her historian background. She is a wonderful storyteller, bringing to life snippets of interesting information about the places we visited. When we experienced a delay at one of the cafes we visited Susanne kept us entertained with more stories. Ultimately we ended up moving to another cafe due to the delay, but that was by no means any fault of Susanne's. We enjoyed our foodie tour. The tastings and the history along the way were a wonderful introduction on our first day in Vienna.Cold day but warm experience

The tour of the Bergl rooms at Schönbrunn Palace and the subsequent walk through the Baroque garden were magnificent. Even as a Viennese, I saw corners of Schönbrunn I had never discovered before. We learned a great deal of background details. The guide was friendly, competent, witty, and engaging. I would gladly do it again, 100% recommend.Tour of the Bergl Rooms at Schönbrunn Palace

I would recommend Sandy in a heartbeat! I booked the tour while I was still back home in Canada and Sandy was super easy to communicate with through the With Locals website. I had only an evening layover in Vienna. Sandy picked me up from the airport and tailored a late night tour to accommodate my short time frame. Sandy also graciously accommodated my last minute request to invite two friends who had decided on short notice to fly from the UK to meet me in Vienna. Sandy's knowledge of Viennese history, architecture and culture is astounding and with her humorous anecdotes we were captivated. Sandy is also well travelled and we were able to share travel experiences. Vienna by night all lit up was magical and with Sandy's story telling, we were mesmerized. I look forward to booking a more in-depth tour when I return to Vienna. A magical evening with Sandy

Meine Frau und ich waren beide schon lange nicht mehr in Wien und hatten nur noch relativ vage Erinnerungen an die Stadt. Sandy nahm uns auf unseren Wunsch zu Fuss auf eine 3h Uebersichtstour mit. Für uns war die Tour genau der richtige Einstieg für unseren 4.5 Tage Wien Aufenthalt. Sie hat uns die wichtigsten Seheswürdigikeiten in der Innenstadt gezeigt und uns mit Tips für die restlichen Tage versorgt. Die Tour endete im legendären schwarzen Kameel :). Sandy war eine angenehme und herzliche Reiseführerin.Herzlich

The fact she has a journalist background was so great, as we had such interesting discussions about Austria and Viennese history while eating the best schnitzel and apple strudel I’ve ever tasted!

Die heutige Grätzltour im grünen und Wurstlprater war der Hit. Frau Doktor Behling, unser Guide, erzählte unserer kunterbunten Gruppe wirklich spannend und als Eingeborene vom Stuwerviertel viel Interessantes zur Geschichte vom Prater. Besonders gefiel mir die Betonung, dass der Prater für alle Gesellschaften, ob etwas verrucht oder eben damals kaiserlich, heute „ High socieytig“ eine Entspannungsoase ist. Die Fahrt mit Wiens ältester Grottenbahn war auch sehr bezaubernd. Deshalb: Ausgezeichnet!!!!Grätzlführung: Prater

We have had the pleasure of walking around in the center of Vienna in company with Selin. Selin has a huge knowledge of the culture and history of Vienna which she gladly and proficiently shares. She has a talent for finding quiet spots away from the crowds and to point out interesting details about life in Vienna. Both the lives of artists, composers, emperors and empresses of the past and the lives of everyday people today. During the tour we were presented to places and tastes we would hardly have discovered on our own. Selin is well spoken, and happily answers any questions. We warmly recommend her as a guide.

When our family arrived two minutes early to the designated meet up location, we immediately started looking for Sandy. We searched everywhere in the vicinity, with no luck. Sandy later claimed she had been there, but if true, she didn’t look for us (a family of 4, obviously searching for someone). I texted 10 minutes after the meeting time and got no reply until about 20 minutes later, when she said she was already home and couldn’t get back for another 20 minutes. We’d waited in the cold for over 45 minutes at that point. This was wildly frustrating and disappointing to me and my family. What a terrible way to start our visit to Vienna, and totally surprising given the great experience we had with this company in Greece just a few years earlier.No show
