Our experience with our tour guide was exceptional from start to finish. She was warm, friendly, and deeply professional throughout the entire tour.
What stood out most was her impressive flexibility and willingness to accommodate us. She effortlessly customized both our route and the factual information she shared to align perfectly with our personal interests, making the experience feel genuinely tailor-made rather than a standard, script-walking tour. On top of her expertise as a guide, she took incredible, high-quality photos for us at every stop—giving us fantastic memories to look back on.
I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are looking for an engaging, personalized, and seamless tour!

Dear Vanessa,
The joy with you during the tour was obvious. I was feeling so appreciated and appreciative the whole time! The tour indeed was so flowy and I enjoyed that as much as you did!
It was an unforgettable experience for me too. I will for sure remember you forever!
II wish you all the best in the river of life! And keep in touch!
With my heart,
Yue
Yue was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable but also funny and interesting. We really enjoyed her private tour and would recommend it to anyone!
Such a great tour and amazing guide, Yue was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We learned a lot and enjoyed getting to walk through highlights. Perfect way to see the city for the first time and get a lay of the area. Recommendations for follow on areas also helpful. Would highly recommend!
We loved having a private tour with Yue! She met us in front of the opera house and was very sweet and energetic. She was very knowledgeable even when my husband had many questions. We saw all the highlights within our 2 hour walking tour. She gave great recommendations for food, shopping, other sites to see. She was even kind enough to take photos for us! We would highly recommend booking with Yue.
Halfway through our whirlwind European tour, we found ourselves in the oasis of Vienna, and, for 2.5 hours, in the very pleasant company of Yue.
Well-versed in all things Vienna, Yue's familiarity with the city was augmented by her deep understanding of broader European history and the pivotal role Austria has played.
Quick with a smile and a laugh, Yue was just as equally blessed with an eye for a unique photo or two, highlighting clever angles, and volunteering to take group photos of our little party as we toured the city.
It's a rare thing in the hustle and bustle of touristing, to find such a relaxing opportunity to experience history and to absorb beauty. Yue made that possible.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Excellent guide. So knowledgeable and very enjoyable recommendations! Highly recommend. Covers a lot of ground in a short whirl, and lovely to be around.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
I enjoyed the great time touring with you and the exchange of understanding of life! Thank you with my heart!
Yue was a great tour guide and took us all over Vienna, explaining its history. Her humor and joy of life was evident all throughout. We LOVED her, and it made our trip to Vienna that much better.
What an amazing experience! So informative! So informed and learned so much! Thank you! Could not believe how nice and how informed our guide was!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Greatly appreciated!!!
Our tour guide, Yue, was amazing. She was punctual, joyful, and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot of history in detail throughout the tour. She explained how the sites we visited were related to one another, so we understand the big picture of how and why things happened. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another tour (Schonbrunn Palace tour) with her! She also provided us with recommended places to check out and restaurant to try at the end of the tour.
In our Schonbrunn Palace tour, Yue provided excellent description of what was going on in every room that we went through during the tour. She described the names, personalities, situations of each room in detail including the relationships among the palace residence, and happily explain any questions we had. We were so glad to have her as our tour guide.
Yue was very friendly (and funny) as a host.. her stories and descriptions were amazing, and would likely remain with us forever.. we were also able to cover key historical elements in a short while..
Outstanding. Yu was fun and informative. Best experience of our trip and got LOTS of great advice for the rest of our trip.
Vienna Highlight Tour met our expectations. Our tour guide, Yu, was very good, not outstanding. She did take us to the major city tourist highlights with some historical notes. We especially enjoyed the Habsburg stories, viewing the winter palace, and seeing at a distance the Lipizzan Horses.
Yue was very professional. She was pleasant, knowledgeable. She showed us the highlights of Vienna fluently. We learned a lot from her about Vienna. We are very thankful to her. We highly recommend her to you.
Yue gave us a great tour. We had been here a week and walked past many sites not knowing significance, but Yue’s knowledge was both informative and entertaining! We would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to know the in’s and outs of Vienna. We passed several massive tour groups and were immediately thankful we had a small intimate tour to see Vienna as it should be seen.
Our tour with Yue was excellent!!! Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Took the time in our pace to explain the historical things of the city. I highly recommend this tour with her.
Thank you Yue.
We were absolutely enchanted by Yeo! She is a walking fountain of knowledge, entertaining, and fun!! 😎 Someone we would have loved to get to know! Would take tours with her any day!! We thank her very much for such an informative interactive tour! We wish her much luck! From the Italians!! Ruby Fee

Dear Ruby!
I still feel the deep understanding and connection with you! How wonderful is that! The joy continues whenever we recall the happy moment! All the best to you Italians! Yue (means joy)
Yue was very knowledgeable and fun! Would certainly recommend for any who want a manageable, educational walking tour.
This tour was very informative and provided an excellent overview of Vienna’s major highlights. The guide Yue Mayr was very knowledgeable.
A very enjoyable tour! Yue went above and beyond to tell us about Vienna’s history and unique points. Would definitely recommend.
Yue is an excellent tour guide - she provides context and interesting anecdotes of the sights around the city center. Had a lot of fun and learned a bit about the city. Highly recommend this tour for those first visiting Vienna or want to learn a bit more about its history.
Yue is an amazing tour guide.
She has a very good sense of humor and is very knowledgeable.
She was ever ready to answer our questions and shared many historical facts.
She is also very good with children.
It was a fun filled and interesting experience.
It would definitely recommend the walk tour with Yue and also suggest to book it on the first day in Vienna.
Best sight seeing tour ever. Yue is the perfect guide Yue was a excellent tour guide who created the best tour for me, I managed to see all the sights as well as some of the iconic art masterpieces of Vienna. I would highly recommend her as she was entertaining highly informative and extremely knowledgeable
Die Tour lohnt sich leider nicht. Ich hätte gerne mehr über Wien erfahren sowie verlässliche Fakten erhalten. Leider stimmte vieles nicht was gesagt wurde. Auch war es sprachlich sehr schwierig zu verstehen.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear Nicole,
You booked the last minute and required it in German while i had already 2 guests in English. Sorry i couldn't fulfill your expectations. I saw you 2 laughing a few times during the tour though. Anyway i respect your perspective the first negative one in my 20 years carrier as a guide while I remain confident that i did the right thing. All the best! Yue Mayr
