Our experience with Roxane was great.
We spent 5 hour with her.
She showed us the most important places in Viena and gave an excellent historical perspective.
She's super polite, friendly, knows everything about the attractions and Austria's history.
Book a visit with her and you will not regret.
Thank you Roxane, hope to see you next time in Vienna.Roxane is amazing

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

I can't rate Roxane highly enough! If you're considering a walking tour of Vienna, do yourself a favor and book with her—you won’t regret it. From the very beginning, Roxane made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her communication was prompt and clear, which immediately put my mind at ease while planning the tour. She met our group at our hotel and the 3 hours she walked with us were absolutely delightful. Her positivity made the day even more enjoyable, and it felt like spending time with a friend who was genuinely excited to show you her favorite parts of the city. This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Vienna. Roxane’s warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm make her the perfect guide for anyone wanting to experience the city in a more meaningful way. You’ll walk away not just with a list of facts but with a true sense of the soul of Vienna. I would absolutely recommend her tour to anyone—whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler looking to dive deeper into the city's history. Thank you, Roxane, for such a memorable experience!A Fantastic Experience!

Lisa Marie is a fantastic, enthusiastic & very knowledgable guide. My mother & I took the walking tour of Vienna with Lisa Marie & we had such a delightful time. Lisa Marie is very personable & was able to tell us the "insider" stories of all the main sites in Vienna. We were in Vienna during Christmastime & so she helped us find some of the more local Christmas markets which were delightful. We loved our time visiting at the coffee house & having amazing cake. Lisa Marie was by far the BEST guide I have had on WithLocals. Don't miss spending time with her!! Amazing!

Lisa Maria educated us on the true history of Vienna. Our 3 hours flew by so fast. I left wanting more time with her. There was so much more to learn about this city rich in history. I highly recommend Lisa Maria and hope to book a tour with her again. She is a must pick to explore Vienna

We only had a full day in Vienna and wanted to maximize our time so we decided to book a three hour tour with Lisa Maria. We really had a great time- not just seeing the city but we felt that we were with a long time friend touring the city. The tour was personal and she had great knowledge and interesting stories about Vienna. We learned about Architecture , the history of Vienna and current events that makes you understand a place in depth in such a short time. We highly recommend this tour. We feel we made a friend and we wish her the best in all her future adventures.

Everything was smooth and easy with Roxane, from corresponding with her before the booking to meeting up my first morning in Vienna. She was willing to accommodate my request to get oriented to the transit system, including stops near my hotel, how payment works, and pitfalls to avoid.
We talked about the history of Vienna and myths that make for great stories. You should ask about her thesis on cultural culinary institutions in Vienna!
After our time together, I took our same route into the city center a few times and never felt lost. As a solo traveler in Vienna, I always felt more confident traversing the city because Roxane made key landmarks familiar. It was truly the best way to start my time there!Roxane was a delight!

What a pleasure it was to tour Vienna, with the focus on Jewish history, with Roxane. She shared her knowledge and was willing to go deeper into some of the more current topics facing Austria related to its role in WWII.

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!

Brilliant afternoon with Roxane. Insightful, knowledgeable, patient perfect English. what else can I say. We really enjoyed what we crammed in, 2 hours doesn’t do Vienna justice so we will be back - and of course re connecting with Roxane.
It is really helpful when your guide stays in touch and continues to help you with advice and answers to questions throughout your stay. Brilliant city tour

Roxane was so much fun we actually ended up booking 2 tours with her. The second tour was towards the end of our trip and she offered to change our initial plans to allow us to see parts of Vienna we knew nothing about. In addition she recommended places that we had initially thought we might skip that actually turned out to be highlights for us. Can’t recommend Roxane enough!!!The Best!!!

My wife and I had the very good fortune to choose and the distinct pleasure to tour with Roxane. She is the guide for you if you are interested in Jewish history, Holocaust and Contemporary Jewish life in Vienna. She is warm and approachable, but a serious teacher at the same time. While some guides take you on "their tour", Roxane was interested in what we were most interested in and went from there. She has great command of the material so can answer your questions as they come up. While much of Jewish life in Vienna is rife with tragedy, our tour also included learning about the "good times" and many significant contributions of Jews in Vienna as well. Roxane is not Jewish, which we would not have known if she had not told us, as she is deeply understanding and empathetic of the immense and frequent discrimination and hate Jews have faced in Vienna, Austria and Europe. We recommend Roxane for all groups, all ages, without reservation. Jewish Vienna with Roxane--Tour de Force!!

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 !!!
