Our family had a fun time with Sandie! She mot only fed us amazing food, drink, and pastries, she gave us recommendations for places to eat for the remainder of our time in Vienna! Sandie is incredibly friendly and enjoyable to be around—she was even flexible and allowed us pop into a few places along the tour. She’s a perfect guide! Delicious and fun!

Sandy's was great. We were on a tight schedule so she brought us to a number of great stops to savor schnitzel, boiled/pulled beef sandwiches, an array of pastries and coffees, and kaiserschmarrn. All were fantastic and we enjoyed the history of the restaurants as well as Vienna.Enjoyed Vienna

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

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!

Unfortunately, this was a very poor tour and a complete waste of time and money. Virtually nothing that was listed in the tour web page was done, and only the most minimal information was provided on Vienna history, food, and coffee. Although Sandy was a pleasant person she spent most of her time asking us about ourselves rather than giving us insights into Vienna or its culinary highlights and tradition. Not a food tour or tour of any sort really

I highly recommend the Culinary Kickstart tour with Sandy. She is super friendly. We felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She took into account the dietary restrictions and was very accommodating. We loved seeing Vienna through her eyes. We tried lots of different savory and sweet dishes. Don't skip this when in Vienna!! Great culinary Tour of Vienna

Wir hatten eine schöne Stadtführung. Ingrid ist sehr nett und wir haben gute Informationen über die Stadtgeschichte erhalten. Leider ist aus unserer Sicht die Food Tour etwas untergegangen. Bei Buchung wurden 6 Kostproben online versprochen. Erhalten haben wir 3 verschiedene Kostproben und ein Getränk (ein traditionelle Brot-Schnitte, eine Wurst und einen Kuchen) Hier hätte ich mir mehr erwartet wenn ich eine Tour unter dem Titel “Culinary Kickstart Tour: Vienna” buche. In der Konditorei sollten wir uns je ein Stück Torte aussuchen, dies haben wir in einer Take Away Box mitbekommen und sollten dann unsere Torte bei - 4 Grad irgendwo im Stehen auf der Straße essen. Das war leider kein schönes Ende der Tour. Hier hätte ein Tisch im Café reserviert werden müssen oder alternativ eine Kostprobe auf die Hand zum schnellen essen.

We met Ingrid for a food/ history tour of Vienna. She asked us at the start if we wanted more history or more food - we said a bit of both. Ingrid was very knowledgable about all the monuments and pointed out lots of things that we wouldn’t have spotted by ourselves. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot more than we imagined. A really nice experience- thank you IngridInteresting tour on a very cold day

Roxane was amazing! To begin with, she asked for any requests in advance of the tour and we told her that we had already been to a number of key sites and that we wanted to see other locations related to my family’s history. And when I told her that I had a copy of my genealogy book, she actually met us the day before so that she could read through my history and prepare for our tour. Needless to say, she provided exactly what we were looking for. From my grandparents’ residences, to the location of their temples to even some darker history that we really wanted/needed to hear. Roxane provided so much additional information that helped fill in gaps that even a three-year genealogy project could not explain. I can’t thank Roxane enough for all that she shared with us! 11 out if 10 stars!!!Phenomenal private, guided tour!

Wow, what a great time experiencing Vienna! Anita met us on time and took us through the history of the Hapsburgs, Vienna while moving through the streets, and the Schönbrunn Palace. She had a solid grasp of the history and did a great job retelling it to us. Along the way we even were able try Punschkrapfen (punch cakes) and Vienna sausages. Anita answered any questions we had, thoroughly and happily. Want to know about the hare on the top of the sausage shop. Anita will tell you all about it. It's well worth your time to experience Vienna with Anita. Job well done Anita! Thank you!!Vienna with Anita

Die Zeit mit Anita war eine tolle Kombination aus Food-Tour, Stadtspaziergang und historischem Wissen rund um Wien. Anita hat uns zu kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten geführt, die uns sonst gar nicht aufgefallen wären. Dazu sehr interessante Einblicke in die Historie und Kultur Wiens und den traditionellen Speisen, sowie dem ein oder anderen Glas Wein. Ein sehr kurzweiliger Nachmittag, geprägt von Anitas charmanten Art und ihrem tiefen Wissen. Ich kann die Tour Anita nur wärmstens empfehlen.Highlight unseres Wien Besuchs

This was our second time in Vienna and having toured the main sites last year, we decided to explore the city via a food tour. It turned out to be great decision as Susanne gave us a brand new introduction to Vienna. This was far more than a food and drink tasting tour. Susanne's experiences of growing up in Vienna give her great perspective on what has changed over the years and what stays the same. We were introduced to many interesting places and all the food and drinks were outstanding. Thank you, Susanne for making this a fun way to get to know Vienna. Fabulous all round

Suzanne really brings to life the downtown city with her local knowledge, finding gems while being flexible to fit our interests. She is very friendly and a wonderful host. I will say the tour description is a little deceptive, suggesting 10 tastings. We ended up visiting six places (ice cream, wine tasting, polish sandwiches, Viennese coffee with Apfel strudel, an amazing specialty chocolate shop and some street sausages. For two people, the price seemed a little much. Perhaps a small adjustment for the smaller amount of food/drink consumed would make sense for only two people.Relaxing food tasting experience

Sandie was a wonderful tour guide for our Taste of Vienna. We went to a wide variety of food stops from appetizers to drinks to lunch to dessert - all very tasty. In fact, we went back to a couple of them later in the week. Sandie intermixed a history of the City as we walked between stops which made is particularly interesting. There were four in our group and we were all very pleased that Sandie was our guide.Great Tour!

Susanne gave us a wonderful uniquely tailored tour for our small group. I contacted Susanne about an evening tour because we didn’t like the tour our river cruise was offering—but we wanted to visit Vienna at night. She developed a bespoke tour for us, that considered our interest, and had a great sense of fun. A bit of culture, history, fun and spooky all wrapped up together. We joined her for drinks and dinner, and then we walked all around the center of old Vienna. We got to see the lovely capital in the evening, while being entertained by our guide. We all said how this tour was our highlight in Vienna. Susanne is a wonderful guide, who really went out of her way to meet our requests. We give her our highest recommendation. If you want a special tour that is made for you then reach out to Susanne.A bespoke evening tour in Vienna

Hiring Roxanne to show us around Vienna was a wonderful decision. Roxanne tailored our walking tour of Vienna to our family’s needs (some physical limitations). She also was very willing, accommodating, and flexible to find a driver that could drive us since we had someone on our tour with limited walking capabilities. She has a kind and friendly disposition, and wonderful knowledge of the history of Vienna. Her ability to navigate the city and help with translation while visiting a coffee house were extremely helpful. She felt like family by the end of our 3 hour walking tour.What A Gem!
