My city walking tour with Roxane was 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 An Enriching and Personal Tour with Roxane

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!

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

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

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!

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

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

I honestly do not have the ability to do justice to the truly amazing experience my wife and I had with Anita in Vienna this morning and afternoon. Even before the trip started, she was in regular communication with us, promptly responding to our queries, and going above and beyond with suggestions, and recommendations. From the very brief introduction we gave about ourselves, she was immediately able to gauge our preferences and tailored her suggestions accordingly. As she says in her profile, she's truly a "Vienna girl" and a widely traveled traveler as well and it was a pleasure to learn so much about this historic town and the treasures it offers. She was eager to help us out with our many questions and took the trouble to be truly our guide. All that I can say in closing is it was an absolute pleasure to have her as our local guide and looking forward to revisting the city with the hopefully her company again. Many thanks, Anita!

The sweets Anita got us to taste at home were very much appreciated. She even send us a few recipes from local dishes. Anita was kind, very helpful and always smiling. Our advice: take the foodtour with Anita and bring an appetite: you’re gonna need it!By far the best foodtour we have done!

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.
