Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a truly delightful Highlights and Hidden Gems tour with Anita during the magical Christmas market season. Our group of 8 women loved her warm personality, vast knowledge, and passion for her city, and she made the experience feel personalized and flexible to our interests. Her thoughtful touches stood out—when we asked for a lunch recommendation, she not only suggested a charming spot but also called ahead, secured a reservation, and walked us there herself. It was a five-star experience from start to finish, engaging, insightful, and unforgettable, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Anita’s tour to others."
"Lisa Maria was a bundle of energy and shared so much information about Vienna and Austria. She took us some places that were out of the way for tourist. Especially the cutest little local Christmas Market. We also enjoyed the history of the palace and learning about Heroe's Square. From the meaning of coffee melange to the longest standing ovation we learned so much about Vienna and it's people. "
"WOW - what can we say, Sandie impressed us from the start by honoring our request to be picked up and dropped off at our cruise ship location. She started our tour by giving us background info on the city of Vienna. She showed us all the interesting highlights of the city with all the background history that goes with it. She is so knowledgeable and a true asset to Vienna. We highly recommend Sandie as your tour guide in exploring Vienna. She also knows the best coffee and pastry shop in the city!"

"Sandie did a wonderful job showing us around the highlights of Vienna. She has an extensive knowledge of the history of Vienna and knew where to find the hidden gems located in the city. She was very accommodating to our special requests and helped us with dinner recommendations. Highly recommend choosing Sandie as your guide in Vienna. "
