Der Guide hat bei uns genau ins Schwarze getroffen: spannend, grausame Details, Geschichten über Bauwerke bei denen man schon oft vorbeigelaufen ist, unbekannte Häuser und Menschen die eigentlich in die Geschichte eingehen sollten. Danke für den spannenden, informativen Nachmittag.

Die Tour war interessant und hat mal andere Geschichten über Wien preisgegeben. Andreas der Guide war gut und hat uns in Ecken geführt die wir sonst nicht gesehen hätten . Wer mal nicht eine klassische Stadtführung machen möchte ist hier genau richtig 👍

Eine sehr abwechslungsreiche, humorvoll gestaltete Tour mit einem sehr netten Guide, der es schafft einen bei jeder Station innerhalb von wenigen Momenten in die damalige Zeit und die Geschehnisse eintauchen zu lassen. Sowohl für Einheimische als auch Wien-Besucher geeignet!
