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

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!

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 !!!

We had a great tasting tour with Susanne who took us to some very interesting food venues. Susanne also included a lot of local history and culture which was very informative. We would definitely recommend Susanne as a great tour guide.A very tasty tour

Susanne taught us a lot about the history of Vienna, and we were happy to learn. But this was to be a food tour. She introduced us to some wonderful new-to-us foods. We would have preferred to learn more about the history of food or its cultural place in Vienna. We started and ended with sweets, which was a lot, and ran out of time before we could have wine. Not at all a terrible experience, but not a great one.Knowledgeable about Viennese history

The day may have been wet and dreary, but Susanne shared with us some of the most interesting tastes of Vienna. Along with a telling of a bit of the cities history, we enjoyed coffee and pastries, different meats, and other local fare. The rain did not dull the experience. What a wonderful way to learn about a city and different culinary delights. I highly recommend this tour as an introduction to the Austrian way.

We made a booking for 11.30 that was accepted and then changed the next day to 10.00 …. So we had to change our itinerary to fit this in, and I am not sure why the booking offered that time then. When booking, a further 50 euro service fee was added without any prior notice or explanation. The tour was the ten tastings of Vienna, which included a chocolate from Mammer where a packet of wafers was bought in the shop in the queue (when it could easily have been purchased earlier at an organisational level. Also we had one slab of wafer out of a pack of four that was bought) When then had coffee (at a wonderful art deco coffee house) and shared 3 strudels between four of us. We had the polish sandwiches which was fun, and then the sausage tasting and the wine were both on the square which we felt was very touristy in that space. Only last week, we had done a food tour in Prague …. They had sent a digital booklet of recommendations for eating and drinking and shopping and itineraries for Prague beforehand and after the tour followed up with specific information from the time of the tour and recipes and more. In a similar 3 hour period, we had a sit down beer hall experience with a beer and with 4 types of snack food, we then had a street food burger, then a sit down meal of 2 main course flavours and a glass of wine, then coffee and 2 sweet cake serves each and a third chocolate one to share between 2 of us and finally a cocktail bar and an alcoholic drink. This was all managed and pre arranged at the venues for a group of 12 and ran smoothly. I was so excited to be doing a similar adventure in Vienna (a little more expensive but that was okay in the anticipation). We were all extremely disappointed and trying not to let the experience cloud our perspective of Vienna.Not really happy

We really enjoyed our time with Susanne. We had very limited time in Vienna as we were on a river cruise. My kids love food, I love food + history & she was able to make the most of our 3 hours and please everyone! Highly recommend!Susanne is lovely! We loved our food tour

Susanne was the ultimate host in Vienna, her history and knowledge of the city was incredible to hear and imagine a time past. We tasted scrumptious dessert, sausages, Vienna Sandwiches and my favorite Apple Struddle at a one of the oldest cafe’s in the city. Susanne, thank you for a wonderful first day in Vienna!! If your doing a tour in Vienna go with Susanne, you will not be dissapointed! Winderful food tour!

Susanne was amazing! She had a light and friendly energy, we really enjoyed her company and the tour she had planned for us. She was able to arrange a private tour according to my preferences (and her suggestions of course) at such a short notice, and we were able to cover all Vienna highlights in a day and a half. Susanne is very knowledgeable and works with passion. I recommend Susanne for any Vienna first-timers, especially for a private tour. Thank you Susanne for everything!Vienna Tour with Susanne

Meeting Susanne was like being introduced to a new city by an old friend. We bonded immediately and during our tour, which went above and beyond expectations, we talked about everything and anything. We enjoyed the tastings but the companionship and welcoming sentiment made us appreciate the beautiful city of Vienna that much more. Susanne was flexible and took us to see things that we never would have found on our own. I would have spent every day of our trip with Susanne because she is more than a tour guide, she is a friend. The best introduction to a new city

Looking forward to returning to Vienna. Thanks, Susanne! Susanne's Vienna + pastries = a tasty afternoon to remember!A tasty afternoon to remember!

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!

Susanne was a brilliant tour guide. We were a big party, the weather was terrible, but she was fantastic at working with us in timings and tried very hard to show us all the sights without us getting too cold and wet. She knew her city well and was the perfect person to introduce us to Vienna. I would highly recommend her. The best tour guide in Vienna

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

Do you like to hear ghost stories and find out about haunted places ? This tour is for you ! I did not know that even the Rulers of Vienna were so much interested in creepy experiments. Join a tour with Susanne and she will do everything to take you to this level :)Not for chickens !

If you are on a tight schedule, try a short private walking tour of Vienna. Our guide was well informed and took us a bit off the usual paths of other tourists so the experience was very personalized and interesting. Highly recommended. Vienna City Center on Foot

We made a pastry tour with Suzanne and we enjoyed it a lot. It was like a hidden gem and historical tour all together, because Suzanne will show you a great taste hidden at the Stefan Church since centuries ! No kidding. Then you walk through this beautiful narrow streets of Vienna and suddenly you are in gorgeous coffeehouse which is decorated like a Palace. Suzanne is such a warm person and a true Viennese who will answer all your questions in a correct way with humorous anecdotes. Thank you Suzanne ! The Sweet Vienna !

We had a great time with Susanne, our informative host! She was friendly and accommodating. Food tasting selections were just ok. The title of 10 tastings was a little deceiving as we thought we would have heartier Austrian dishes like cheeses, goulash and schnitzel to try rather than a piece of chocolate and wafer although the meat loaf was delicious and there was a good amount of beer! We would have given it 10 stars if there were better food choices.Fun evening with our host!

We had a nice walk through Vienna, even though the rain poured down. We saw many hightlights of the city. The only thing was that we thought it would have been more focus on food and less on sightseeing, although the sightseeing was really good.Guided tour of Vienna with food

My mother and her friend were happy with Susanne and I would gave loved to give her a better review. I unfortunately cannot do that: - she rushed to finish the tour while she had other appointment - she failed to show my mother and her friend the attractions with paid fee although I was charged for them - coffee and cake should have been paid, but again not the case Advice is not to pay in advance any ticket fees since unless listed exactly with place and cost in the offer. I was told that was a misunderstanding, and the offer did now included that. Which is actually correct, I could not convinced her to put it in. Something about the restriction of the site… In any case, I have the chat conversation… Still, no money back. I have payed more than 500 Euro for the tour. Anamaria Too bad

We wanted a city tour that would show us the city as it really is. We got that with Susanne. She has chosen a great route and showed us many highlights as well as some hidden places. She knows an incredible amount and conveys the historical features with wit and the typical Viennese way. She responded to all our wishes and we felt completely comfortable & welcome.Personal guided tour with a lot of humor

Susanne provided a customized and flexible Vienna orientation tour for our small group that not only fit our challenging schedule, but also superbly set the stage for our next few days in Vienna. Thanks to excellent advance communications, her tour fit our pace and interests perfectly. She went beyond merely showing us the major sites to share important insights, perspectives and tips for further exploring and enjoying this fascinating and complex city. Highly recommended!Wonderful Welcome to Wien

Susanne organized for us custom 4 hours tour in Vienna. It was absolutely amazing experience. Not only i liked it a lot but my teenage daughter (and you know it's not easy to satisfy teens) is still full of memories and told me that it was unexpectedly best time during our trip. Susanne possesses lots of knowledge history and architecture related and could push it to you some easy way that you can actually enjoy ot and even remember. 4 hours flew too fast and i realized that we even ended up almost an hour more cause we jumped to museum at the end. Thanks a lot Susanne!Great tour in Vienna

We are two older women both with mobility issues. We knew the weather forecast was bad, but Susanne was able to arrange a very comfortable car. She has deep knowledge of Vienna topography and culture and was a rich resource. She was also extremely flexible in helping us make the best of this opportunity. We were especially pleased that she responded to our request to see Venice outside the central city, a rare treat for tourists.Gusty, Blustery, cold day
