It is difficult to describe what a great experience it is to take a tour with Roxane. It is like having a pleasant conversation with a good friend, that is interspersed with great knowledge and insight for the object of the tour. In this case it was the gardens and history of Belvedere and Schonbrunn. In both cases they were brought to life with a charming insight to the flaws and fallacies of these stories Palaces.Another insightful tour with Roxane.

I spent an excellent afternoon walking around Vienna with my guide for the day. Our tour was accompanied by a pleasant, inspiring conversation. Roxana has an excellent knowledge of Vienna's landmarks, but she is also able to weave it into a much broader context. Highly recommended. MerciPleasantly and inspirationally

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

Roxanne was an amazing tour guide. I had been in touch. With her prior to arriving in Vienna. I wanted to see if I could find my family home and trace some significant family locations there. Roxanne greeted us with charm and extensive knowledge about the Jewish history of Vienna. She led us to my father’s home, school and synagogue while giving us some in depth history. 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

Roxane was wonderful - from the great communications ahead of time to the level of detail and flexibility during our walk in and around town. We saw streets and landmarks that we never would have found on our own with a great history lesson along the way and clearly she has a fascination with art as well - so advice on museums etc was great! We also found some great places to eat based on her recommendations and she helped us navigate the tram a bit as well! We highly recommend Roxane if you are visiting Vienna!Excellent time and so flad we did it!

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!

Everything was smooth and easy with Roxane, from corresponding with her before the booking to meeting up my first morning in Vienna. She was willing to accommodate my request to get oriented to the transit system, including stops near my hotel, how payment works, and pitfalls to avoid. We talked about the history of Vienna and myths that make for great stories. You should ask about her thesis on cultural culinary institutions in Vienna! After our time together, I took our same route into the city center a few times and never felt lost. As a solo traveler in Vienna, I always felt more confident traversing the city because Roxane made key landmarks familiar. It was truly the best way to start my time there!Roxane was a delight!

Roxanne is lovely and friendly with a great sense of humour and made our tour extra special especially as this was our first time in Vienna. We wanted to see all the main tourist attractions plus any hidden gems that the locals visit. Roxanne was kind enough to meet us at our apartment so we could get a feel of where everything was from our base. Great tour and really learned a lot. Thank you. Vienna and Roxanne

Brilliant afternoon with Roxane. Insightful, knowledgeable, patient perfect English. what else can I say. We really enjoyed what we crammed in, 2 hours doesn’t do Vienna justice so we will be back - and of course re connecting with Roxane. It is really helpful when your guide stays in touch and continues to help you with advice and answers to questions throughout your stay. Brilliant city tour

Roxane was so much fun we actually ended up booking 2 tours with her. The second tour was towards the end of our trip and she offered to change our initial plans to allow us to see parts of Vienna we knew nothing about. In addition she recommended places that we had initially thought we might skip that actually turned out to be highlights for us. Can’t recommend Roxane enough!!!The Best!!!

My wife and I had the very good fortune to choose and the distinct pleasure to tour with Roxane. She is the guide for you if you are interested in Jewish history, Holocaust and Contemporary Jewish life in Vienna. She is warm and approachable, but a serious teacher at the same time. While some guides take you on "their tour", Roxane was interested in what we were most interested in and went from there. She has great command of the material so can answer your questions as they come up. While much of Jewish life in Vienna is rife with tragedy, our tour also included learning about the "good times" and many significant contributions of Jews in Vienna as well. Roxane is not Jewish, which we would not have known if she had not told us, as she is deeply understanding and empathetic of the immense and frequent discrimination and hate Jews have faced in Vienna, Austria and Europe. We recommend Roxane for all groups, all ages, without reservation. Jewish Vienna with Roxane--Tour de Force!!
