Sandie was fantastic. She was very flexible both before and during our tour to make adjustments about what we wanted to see. We went into the library which was amazing. She has a deep knowledge of all the history of Vienna and we learned so much. Sandie was fun and easy to converse with. We would recommend Sandie with the highest rating, you won’t regret it!Informative and fun tour with Sandie

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.

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 went with Sandie on a Vienna walking food tour. We only had one day in Vienna and the night before arriving I reached out to see if we could squeeze in a tour with her. She was available and coordinated all of it so quickly! The smile in her photo is exactly what you see the entire time! She is happy, upbeat, knowledgeable and so warm and friendly, We would highly recommend anyone to take a tour with Sandie. We now wish we had more time in Vienna! If we return, we will look up Sandie again! Sandie was so enjoyable’

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

Had the most pleasant bike ride. Sandy was very knowledgeable, patient, took us to the most important stops in the city center and we even tried traditional Kaiserschmarrn. She was in no hurry, and we even earned additional 2 hours of bike ride. Also gave us great tips for restaurants and souvenir purchase. great bike trip in Vienna

We had a lovely non-strenuous bike tour around Vienna with Sandy. She is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of local history. One improvement may be to keep things moving. There were a number of awkward moments when we finally had to say OK what’s next. Also, if you are looking for a more fitness tour this is not for you. Bike Tour Through Vienna

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.

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 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

My daughter and I had the best food tour with Sandy. She showed us the authentic places not featured on TikTok/IG- where the locals go. 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! Book with Sandy immediately!

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!

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

Met Sandy by the golden bear and straight away we both knew we were with a local, she was just a lovely bright woman with a passion for her city Vienna. She holds your interest in the way she is, and had a rare and interesting historical knowledge of her city but can go back and go to the present day in a way only someone like her can. She took us first for the genuine Austrian sandwiches where only Viennese were they were delicious and delicate and the baby beer balanced them beautifully. She is easy to talk to and interested in the world so you feel like you have met a new friend. The next stop was to enjoy Pumkin soup and platter of local Viennese cured meats, cheeses and delicious breads, matched with a local Danube Austrian Sauvignon I can still taste this now just sumptuous. She chats and walks and gives you great tips and then we arrive at a lovely Viennese coffee house for 3 sweet delicacies we barely have room but cannot resist and have to say the Strudel won. Thanks Sandy this 3 hours spent with you was memorable and we cannot thank you enough, good luck in all that you do in the future and big thanks from your 2 UK girls❤️Sandy shows us her Vienna

We went on a food tour through Vienna in October with Sandy, and it was an unforgettable experience! Sandy was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city's food scene, but she was also warm and personable. It felt like we were eating with a friend who just happened to know all the best spots in Vienna. When it unexpectedly started to rain, Sandy quickly adapted her plan, ensuring we stayed dry while still enjoying all the delicious stops on the tour. We sampled local favorites like goulash, wiener schnitzel, various desserts, and a selection of finger sandwiches. But the highlight was when Sandy went above and beyond by ordering a unique twist on the famous sacher torte—served as a layered mousse in a glass instead of the traditional cake! It was an unexpected treat that made the tour feel even more special. Sandy also provided us with great restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay, and her passion for Vienna's food culture really shone through. We often do food tours when we travel, and this was one of the best we've ever experienced. If you're in Vienna, a food tour with Sandy is a must-do. Highly recommend!A Fantastic Vienna Food Tour with Sandy!
