Roxane hat sich super nach den Bedürfnissen der Gruppe gerichtet. Wollen die mehr weniger, kürzer ..oder noch was anderes wissen. Geschichtliche zusammenhänge wurden witzig in Anektoten verpackt und verknüpft mit was wir schon gesehen hatten -so merkt man sich wirklich was. Wir werden Sie jedenfalls weiter empfehlen- wir haben Sie als Private Führerin genommen, und das war super!!!Wirklich großartig & lustig!

Roxane gave us a wonderful introduction to Vienna. This was our first experience with a personal/local tour guide and I don’t think we will be able to go back to group tours after! Roxane had wonderful communication prior to the tour so I felt at ease with the whole process. Her knowledge of the city was superb and conversation with her during the tour was easy and comfortable. Highly recommended!! Thank you Roxane!Great decision

As this was our first time in Vienna, we chose a City Kickstart tour through Withlocals to get an overview and introduction of what to see. Our local guide, Roxana was amazing! In addition to her bubbly warm personality, she was a wealth of knowledge. In the relatively short time together, we learned more about the history, art, culture and unique aspects we never would have picked up in a large group tour or reading a visitors' guide. Doing this on foot was fanastic as we saw so much and knew exactly where we wanted to return to to spend more time and tour inside. Roxane amazed us with her depth of understanding the history: good, bad and quirky facts that were fascinating to listen to. For someone new to Vienna, this is the experience to start with and Roxane is the one to have it with!Wonderful introduction to Vienna!

My wife and I took a “Kickstart” tour with Roxane on our first day in Vienna. It proved to be a perfect introduction to the city—thanks in large part to Roxane’s knowledge and itinerary. She seems to know everything about Vienna, past and present. She also happens to be a friendly and engaging person, which helps! Extremely knowledgeable guide

Exploring Vienna with Lisa Maria is like walking through the city with a friend; Lisa Maria is friendly, passionate about the city and its history, and has a keen eye for timing. She likes to surprise you. If you like to get a feeling of Vienna and to understand its backgrounds I recommend anyone to book a tour with Lisa Maria . Lisa Maria shares her personal experiences in the city and hidden secrets of the city. She is flexible and caring. In the morning she checked on us and proposed a more convenient meeting place than we agreed upon before. Lisa Maria has enriched us and opened our eyes for the wonderful city Vienna is! Like walking with a friend!

Roxanne was an amazing tour guide. I had been in touch. With her prior to arriving in Vienna. I wanted to see if I could find my family home and trace some significant family locations there. Roxanne greeted us with charm and extensive knowledge about the Jewish history of Vienna. She led us to my father’s home, school and synagogue while giving us some in depth history. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Worth every penny. She made our visit to Vienna truly meaningful. Thank you!!!One od the best tours ever

Lisa Maria was in a word fabulous! She made us feel at ease instantly with her warm handshake and infectious smile. We met at the Opera House and we were off! We learned about the must do's and the never do's and/or the not worth the time. Being a student of history, she had innumerable back stories that made the tour so much more interesting and enjoyable. If you are looking for a quick but informative way to get to know Vienna on the first day of your stay - Lisa Maria is your ticket. [If we could give her above a 10 ranking we would have!!]A GREAT way to start your stay in Wein

Lisa Maria is an excellent guide who I would truly recommend to everyone, both those who are coming to Vienna for the first time and those who have already visited it. Full of knowledge, anecdotes, hidden meanings, interesting stories and a big smile. The time we spent with her flew by in an instant, and we felt like we were walking with an old friend we hadn't seen in a long time. Lisa Maria revealed things that are not found in classic guides, along with information about life in the city on a daily basis that made us want not only to return to Vienna, but also to move there. I think that in addition to a wonderful tour, we also got a person we can count on and who we would like to continue to hang out with, and that is a rarity and you can hardly pay for that... Thank you once again for a wonderful experience, I recommend it with all my heart!THE BEGINNING OF A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE

We met our guide outside our hotel instead of at the regular meeting point in Graben. The guide was immediately welcoming and cheerful. Shortly after, she had planned a tour based on the impressions our group of four people gave. The tour had a nice mix of facts about the city and what we saw on our tour, along with some tidbits about governance in Vienna and Austria. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun guide

We saw streets and landmarks that we never would have found on our own with a great history lesson along the way and clearly she has a fascination with art as well - so advice on museums etc was great! We also found some great places to eat based on her recommendations and she helped us navigate the tram a bit as well! We highly recommend Roxane if you are visiting Vienna!Excellent time and so flad we did it!

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!

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. Jose,Brisset and SamBest three hours in Vienna

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!
