We (my wife my 19 yr old gdaughter and myself (age 83) met with Anita on time outside Domm Museum at 11
We then spent an rxciting and interesting 5 hrs being shown round Vienna historical sights by Anita an experienced and knowledgable guide who gave us a historical and contemporary view of Vienna and Austris as well as the Happsburg empire
We stopped 2 or 3 times for a coffee but the time went quickly and we covered a lot of steps
We 3 went home exhausted and exhilirated
Thank you Anita An outstanding day with Anita in Bienna

From the moment we met, Anita made us feel like old friends. She was punctual, professional, and incredibly enthusiastic. Her deep knowledge of Vienna’s rich history, art, and culture brought every street, palace, and monument to life. She also gave fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, cafes, and places we’d never have discovered places without her insight!Fantastic!

When visiting a major foreign city for the first time, we always begin by hiring a private guide. This approach provides an efficient and insightful overview of the area, setting a strong foundation for deeper exploration in the days that follow. We look for guides who are experienced, organized, flexible, and have a compatible, fun personality. Roxane exceeded all our expectations! Her expertise in Vienna’s history, architecture, and culture was impressive, and her local tips on contemporary life were invaluable. Over the course of eight hours, Roxane gave us a thoughtful, thorough, and candid introduction to the city while keeping things fun. Not only did we gain a wealth of knowledge, but we also made a friend. Thank you, Roxane, for making our first visit to Vienna an outstanding experience!Invaluable Tour & Wonderful Guide!

My tour with Roxane in Vienna was an exceptional and enriching experience. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism and calmness in organizing the trip and delivering information. We visited a museum, explored beautiful gardens, and had engaging conversations about life and culture in Vienna. What truly made the experience unique was Roxane's personal touch; she shared many personal stories, adding a human element to the tour that made me feel I was interacting with a real person who understands and cares, not just a guide reciting facts.
When she realized my interest in architecture and urban development, she adjusted the tour to focus on those aspects, making the experience more personalized and engaging. Even though the tour lasted around five hours, I wished it could have been longer. I highly recommend Roxane as a tour guide; she skillfully balances delivering information and creating a memorable, human experience

Wear your comfortable walking shoes, bring water if it is a hot day, because you are going to see Everything! And you are going to learn more. Roxane is super nice, full of personality only overshadowed by her knowledge of the city, the history, the hidden gems, local eats, where to get the better than "the best" listed on the internet. Plus great advice on using public transportation. Multi lingual, great energy, even though we were her second tour of the day. Our five hour tour was a whirlwind of stories, and sites, while paying attention to logistics (bathroom breaks, time in the shade, and breaks for the older folks in the group to rest) She assisted in all communication and purchases with locals and vendors. When it is time to eat, just ask her where she would go...and then go there! We thought our time was over with her and then we asked if she would like to guide us through the Belvedere Museum, this leg could be a tour of it's own. She is a food expert, and as we found out, an art/architecture/cultural encyclopedia.
Touring with Roxane is like touring with a local friend, and we now consider her our friend in Vienna. Thank you Roxane. So Happy!!! To have a tour with Roxane!

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our tour with Roxanne. We had fun, she was informative, and the pace was great. Her English is wonderful. She tailored the tour to our interests. She was flexible with changes, even during the tour. We had an ice cream break and threw in a library tour that was well worth it and one of the highlights. She timed it perfectly to get us to the opera house in time for our tour there. We all talked about the tour that evening and agreed it was the best one we've had so far in Europe. Thanks. Roxanne, fun, informative. Best tour yet!

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!

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

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

Sandie offered up a great overview of what the next 3 hours would look, feel and taste like. :)
We then proceeded to sample some fine local eats, treats and and drink while walking around the city core and learning about the history of this beautiful city and all the events that influenced the restaurants on the tour
