We booked Claudia-Maria for 2 x 1/2 day English walking tours and gave her a list of what interested us. She created a bespoke tour for our group of 10 (ages ranging from 18-80), which included city highlights, the amazing Hundertwasser & Hadid buildings and a guided castle tour. We learned so much about the history of Vienna and even some archeological insight as Claudia Maria is involved in local excavations. She is an amazing guide and would certainly recommend her!Fairytale Castles & Architectural Wonders

I can’t say enough about the superb tour that we were given by Claudia-Maria. She was knowledgeable, funny, warm and personable. We had a particular interest in Art Nouveau and Claudia-Maria tailored the tour to suit our interests. Claudia-Maria has a strong academic background but was able to present the history and culture of Vienna in understandable ways. We discovered hidden gems and came to appreciate many things about daily life in Vienna today. We give our highest recommendation to Claudia-Maria.Great guide gave us a wonderful experience

From the moment we met her, Selin's warmth, passion for Vienna, and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the experience unforgettable. She guided us through the most iconic sights as well as hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. Her storytelling brought every location to life, blending fascinating historical facts with charming local insights. Selin was not only incredibly professional and well-prepared, but also tailored the experience to our interests and pace, and her genuine love for Vienna was contagious. Thanks Selin!!!!An Unforgettable Tour with Selin!

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

Our tour with Selin was fantastic! She has deep knowledge of the culture and the history of Vienna and gave us a fantastic introduction to the city through her story telling. She mixed some hidden gems in with the big highlights, and you can tell she knows everything there is to know about Vienna. She was also able to answer every question we had throughout the three hours and often dived into her archive of photos on her iPad to bring a story to life or show how something would have looked in the past. Fantastic tour, I wouldn't hesitate to book with Selin again next time I'm back in Vienna. Thanks Selin!Most knowledgeable guide I have ever had!

10/10 for Anita, who looked after our group incredibly well, with Viennese treats in her backpack, local history and current affairs at her fingertips, and plenty of images on file to bring it all to life for us. We finished the tour with drinks at a brilliant rooftop bar, offering great views and another round of photo opportunities. Anita speaks both German and English fluently, making her the perfect guide for our international group. And her sunny smile and great energy make her a pleasure to be with. Our three hours flew by.

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

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 only had a full day in Vienna and wanted to maximize our time so we decided to book a three hour tour with Lisa Maria. 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
