We were in Vienna for the first time and explored the city with Sandy. It was wonderful. Sandy tailored the tour to our individual wishes. We saw everything and explored the city wonderfully in just a few hours. Our son (10 years old) also enjoyed it. Sandy was very responsive to everything! A must for every visit to Vienna. Highly recommended and we would love to come back and will get in touch with you, Sandy!

We enjoyed a three-hour guided bike-ride with Sandy. The tour was a great way to see the highlights of the city and Sandy is a very pleasant guide. Sandy did tell us the basics, but we did miss some more in-depth knowledge of the sites we visited. More fun-facts and interesting stories which is why we booked this trip. A drink or snack was included in the tour, but we never got this.Very nice host, tour could be improved

Cycling through Vienna with our guide Michael felt like having the city's history whispered into our ears as we breezed along its picturesque streets! Not only was he a walking encyclopedia of the city’s history, architecture, and key characters, but his warmth and wit made the ride as smooth as a Viennese waltz. If you want to discover the city’s hidden gems and hear the stories behind them, this is the tour to book. Highly recommended!

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

Meine Frau und ich waren beide schon lange nicht mehr in Wien und hatten nur noch relativ vage Erinnerungen an die Stadt. Sandy nahm uns auf unseren Wunsch zu Fuss auf eine 3h Uebersichtstour mit. Für uns war die Tour genau der richtige Einstieg für unseren 4.5 Tage Wien Aufenthalt. Sie hat uns die wichtigsten Seheswürdigikeiten in der Innenstadt gezeigt und uns mit Tips für die restlichen Tage versorgt. Die Tour endete im legendären schwarzen Kameel :). Sandy war eine angenehme und herzliche Reiseführerin.Herzlich

My daughter and I had the best food tour with Sandy. She showed us the authentic places not featured on TikTok/IG- where the locals go. The fact she has a journalist background was so great, as we had such interesting discussions about Austria and Viennese history while eating the best schnitzel and apple strudel I’ve ever tasted! Book with Sandy immediately!

Our family of four had lots of fun with Sandy on the pastry tour. We were in Vienna just for the weekend and this was a great way to get a little history, try some well known pastries and experience a few of the coffeehouses. Sandy is lovely and knowledgeable about the city and ensured that we tried a wide variety of treats. We learned about some of the culture and the old and newer traditions in the city on our walk through the old town. Huge thank you and we hope to stay in touch. Great pastry tour with Sandy!

When our family arrived two minutes early to the designated meet up location, we immediately started looking for Sandy. We searched everywhere in the vicinity, with no luck. Sandy later claimed she had been there, but if true, she didn’t look for us (a family of 4, obviously searching for someone). I texted 10 minutes after the meeting time and got no reply until about 20 minutes later, when she said she was already home and couldn’t get back for another 20 minutes. We’d waited in the cold for over 45 minutes at that point. This was wildly frustrating and disappointing to me and my family. What a terrible way to start our visit to Vienna, and totally surprising given the great experience we had with this company in Greece just a few years earlier.No show

Met Sandy by the golden bear and straight away we both knew we were with a local, she was just a lovely bright woman with a passion for her city Vienna. She holds your interest in the way she is, and had a rare and interesting historical knowledge of her city but can go back and go to the present day in a way only someone like her can. She took us first for the genuine Austrian sandwiches where only Viennese were they were delicious and delicate and the baby beer balanced them beautifully. She is easy to talk to and interested in the world so you feel like you have met a new friend. The next stop was to enjoy Pumkin soup and platter of local Viennese cured meats, cheeses and delicious breads, matched with a local Danube Austrian Sauvignon I can still taste this now just sumptuous. She chats and walks and gives you great tips and then we arrive at a lovely Viennese coffee house for 3 sweet delicacies we barely have room but cannot resist and have to say the Strudel won. Thanks Sandy this 3 hours spent with you was memorable and we cannot thank you enough, good luck in all that you do in the future and big thanks from your 2 UK girls❤️Sandy shows us her Vienna

We enjoyed lunch and a drink at a Viennese restaurant before time for me to board the ship. Here's hoping we will meet up again.The day with Sandy was excellent

We went on a food tour through Vienna in October with Sandy, and it was an unforgettable experience! Sandy was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city's food scene, but she was also warm and personable. It felt like we were eating with a friend who just happened to know all the best spots in Vienna.
When it unexpectedly started to rain, Sandy quickly adapted her plan, ensuring we stayed dry while still enjoying all the delicious stops on the tour. We sampled local favorites like goulash, wiener schnitzel, various desserts, and a selection of finger sandwiches. But the highlight was when Sandy went above and beyond by ordering a unique twist on the famous sacher torte—served as a layered mousse in a glass instead of the traditional cake! It was an unexpected treat that made the tour feel even more special.
Sandy also provided us with great restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay, and her passion for Vienna's food culture really shone through. We often do food tours when we travel, and this was one of the best we've ever experienced. If you're in Vienna, a food tour with Sandy is a must-do. Highly recommend!A Fantastic Vienna Food Tour with Sandy!

Wir haben eine dreistündige Tour mit Sandy gebucht. Schon die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war supernett. Sandy ging auf unsere individuellen Wünsche ein. Als Jungstruppe, die alle schon privat + beruflich in Wien waren, ging es uns primär darum, einen netten Stadtspaziergang mit Sandy zu machen, wo wir quasi die Wien-Basics noch einmal kompakt mitnehmen und gleichzeitig aber auch viele Tipps für die nächsten Tage einsammeln konnten. Was supergut war: Sandy strukturierte mal eben unsere gastronomischen Programmpunkte durch - von tollen Restaurants über legendäre Bars bis hin zu Clubs. Wer in Wien ist und eine individuelle Führung mit einer waschechten Wienerin mit viel Humor will: bei Sandy seid ihr perfekt aufgehoben!Perfekte Wien-Warmup-Tour

We were a group of six friends on our first trip to Vienna, several of whom are very picky with a variety of dietary needs. Sandy was extremely communicative throughout the reservation process. She picked us up at our hotel and brought us to several authentic, off the beaten path places that only locals would know about. Everything was terrific and we had an awesome time! Sandy was terrific and we all thanked and hugged her by the end of the night. We cannot think of a better way to explore Vienna’s amazing foods & wine…and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for the journey than Sandy!!!What a great evening!

My wife and I visited Vienna recently and booked a food tour with Sandy of Withlocals. My wife's cousin, who is Austrian and lives in Vienna, joined us on our tour.
I explained to Sandy in advance that we had been to Vienna several times before and had already been to the places that most new visitors want to see (e.g., Hotel Sacher, Demel, etc.). Instead, we wanted to visit establishments that feature Viennese and Austrian cuisine that tourists would not generally know about -- and Sandy gave us exactly what we wanted! We visited five or six different restaurants, cafes, bakeries, food stands, etc. that we would never have otherwise seen and enjoyed a wide variety of local dishes, both sweet and savory. Even my wife's cousin, who has lived in Vienna for many years, was impressed.
If you want to book a really fun and interesting food tour in Vienna, I highly recommend Sandy and Withlocals!A Terrific Food Tour!

I HIGHLY recommend this tour! Sandy was absolutely fantastic! She tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted after she gave us options. The cute winery she brought us to was gorgeous and delicious, and having Sandy there to recommend items and order for us made the day so special. Sandy went above and beyond to make sure our transportation was easy and smooth as well, and brought us to picturesque places for photos and memories. Sandy was pleasant and wonderful company!
