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!

Sandy was a wonderful host as she walked me, my wife, and our three kids around Vienna, sampling cakes and pastries and getting a little taste of local cafe life.

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

Sandie is great. From the moment she met us in the lobby of our hotel (she was early) we knew we were in for a wonderful day of sight seeing, story telling and food samplings! Sandie offered up a great overview of what the next 3 hours would look, feel and taste like. :) We then proceeded to sample some fine local eats, treats and and drink while walking around the city core and learning about the history of this beautiful city and all the events that influenced the restaurants on the tour Special events are all about the experience and this was a great experience. Thank you Sandie Excellent tour, time well spent

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

I can’t say enough about the superb tour that we were given by Claudia-Maria. She was knowledgeable, funny, warm and personable. We had a particular interest in Art Nouveau and Claudia-Maria tailored the tour to suit our interests. Claudia-Maria has a strong academic background but was able to present the history and culture of Vienna in understandable ways. We discovered hidden gems and came to appreciate many things about daily life in Vienna today. We give our highest recommendation to Claudia-Maria.Great guide gave us a wonderful experience

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

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

Claudia is very personable and very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and culture of Vienna. She led us through the highlights of the city and hidden areas for walking and traversing the town that only locals would know. She took us to a wonderful cafe off the beaten path and explained coffee culture in Vienna. She loves her town of Vienna and is enthusiastic about sharing her experiences in the city. She personalized our tour to our desires. We would happily book another tour with Claudia if ever we return. Great Experience

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.

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

We only had one day in Vienna and really felt Claudia-Marie was the best fit for us. She worked around her schedule so we could have a 3-hour city tour with her. She was so knowledgeable, but also mixed in a lot of stories with the facts which made it so much more pleasurable and memorable. Even though it was a city tour, we stopped in a famous place and got a pastry and had an opportunity to sit and get out of the cold as well as an amazing wine bar with a cellar! Claudia-Marie helped us look for unique gifts as we walked as well. With her archeology background, she was able to add another dimension to the history and architecture. We would highly recommend Claudia-Marie as a guide in Vienna!Loved Claudia-Marie!

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

We had the pleasure of spending four hours exploring Vienna with Claudia-Maria as our guide. It was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we booked, Claudia-Maria went above and beyond, connecting with us well in advance to plan a custom-tailored tour that accommodated a member of our group using a wheelchair. During the tour, Claudia-Maria demonstrated extraordinary knowledge of Vienna’s rich history, art, and architecture. She skillfully brought the city’s landmarks to life with engaging stories and fascinating insights, leaving no question unanswered. We cannot recommend her highly enough—she turned our tour into a meaningful exploration of one of the world’s most beautiful cities.Exceptional Guide and Memorable Tour

I honestly do not have the ability to do justice to the truly amazing experience my wife and I had with Anita in Vienna this morning and afternoon. Even before the trip started, she was in regular communication with us, promptly responding to our queries, and going above and beyond with suggestions, and recommendations. From the very brief introduction we gave about ourselves, she was immediately able to gauge our preferences and tailored her suggestions accordingly. As she says in her profile, she's truly a "Vienna girl" and a widely traveled traveler as well and it was a pleasure to learn so much about this historic town and the treasures it offers. She was eager to help us out with our many questions and took the trouble to be truly our guide. All that I can say in closing is it was an absolute pleasure to have her as our local guide and looking forward to revisting the city with the hopefully her company again. Many thanks, Anita!

We had a fantastic time with Anita! She showed us around town during our foodtour. We learned a lot about Vienna and Vienna’s history while enjoying extraordinairy local (vegetarian) food at the best local places. Our teenagers also enjoyed the tour very much. The sweets Anita got us to taste at home were very much appreciated. She even send us a few recipes from local dishes. Anita was kind, very helpful and always smiling. Our advice: take the foodtour with Anita and bring an appetite: you’re gonna need it!By far the best foodtour we have done!
