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

Our experience with Roxane was great. We spent 5 hour with her. She showed us the most important places in Viena and gave an excellent historical perspective. She's super polite, friendly, knows everything about the attractions and Austria's history. Book a visit with her and you will not regret. Thank you Roxane, hope to see you next time in Vienna.Roxane is amazing

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!

What a pleasure it was to tour Vienna, with the focus on Jewish history, with Roxane. She shared her knowledge and was willing to go deeper into some of the more current topics facing Austria related to its role in WWII. Highly recommend!A great journey thru the streets of Vienna

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!!

Our family of 5 spent the day with Roxane touring Vienna this summer. We were so pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had - Roxane was beyond amazing with our 3 girls (ages 5-9). She understood how to talk to them, how to keep their interest and she made sure that they had the best time. Roxane knew so much about Vienna and we loved her tour. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Amazing tour guide for the whole family!

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
