Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a great day at the Schönbrunn Palace. Susanna gave us the highlights of the gardens and inside the castle. She was able to show us some of her favorite garden spots that were less traveled but not any less impressive. Inside the castle she was quick to show her skills as a historian and her love to share knowledge. She was great about tailoring the stories to our existing knowledge and always had the ready answer! We ended up staying an additional five hours to see the zoo and the palm house. Highly recommend!"
"Fantastic tour! So kind and very knowledgeable. Such a fun morning!"
"Met for a morning tour of Schonbrunn Palace with Selin. She geared the tour to the interests in our group. She knew the history of the Habsburgs and the palace itself. All the questions we asked she was able to answer and she had such interesting information. We learned a great deal more than if we toured by ourselves. "
"Roxanne was wonderful. Great tour with a smart woman. Wish her all the best…. Ida, Erik and Gert / Denmark 🙂"
"Selin is a warm, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable guide, with a wealth of fascinating historical insights to share. Touring Schönbrunn Palace and gardens with her brings the history of Vienna to life in the most enjoyable way. Having Selin as you guide is truly the best way to experience this iconic landmark."
"Roxanne was phenomenal. She showed us so much and was very knowledgeable about the history surrounding all the sites. It was so nice to have the one on one experience and see places that locals frequent and enjoy. You will not be disappointed to book a tour with Roxanne. "
"Roxane is a nice, fun, person who is very knowledgeable about the activities of the Habsburgs in Vienna from the 17th century onwards. Whether I was walking with her across the city centre, Schonbrunn or Belvedere palace, she was the right person for the job of being my guide."
"Suzanne was an excellent guide with an encyclopaedic history knowledge. We found the tour to be both enjoyable and knowledgeable. "
"We are very pleased with Selin as she is full of information about Vienna and its hisory. I must admit we had a challenging time trying to remember who is who but Selin is very patient with us. The pace of walk was just right for us at our age and Selin was constantly checking with us and giving us options given the limited time we had with her. Nonetheless a very worthwhile walking tour and we are know much more knowledgeable about Vienna than when we started. Thank you Selin"
"My wife and I had an excellent tour with Susanne of the Schonbrunn Palace. She is a wealth of knowledge. Provided us with great context for all that we saw and detail about the Hapsburgs and Austrian and European history. We learned a lot and enjoyed Susanne's ability to teach without overloading. After we finished the Palace, we had a fantastic walk through the gardens. Susanne answered all of our questions and was extremely clear and personable. Can't wait to come back with our adult children to tour with her. Highly recommend a tour with Susanne. "
