Our knowledgeable local, licensed guides will take you on a high-quality free tour experience where you will learn about the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi regime, as well as the modern parts of the city center that stand in stark contrast to Nazi architecture.

Our tour stops include:

  • Naschmarkt: This bustling market is a foodie's paradise, but it also has a dark history. The market was the site of several mass deportations of Vienna's Jewish population during World War II.
  • Secession: This modernist building was designed by architect Joseph Maria Olbrich and is home to Gustav Klimt's famous "Beethoven Frieze." It was also used by the Nazis as an exhibition hall for their propaganda.

I kind of like to read some history, when in a new city I often take the opprt. Of a guided walk tour if possible, so done a few. Todays tour with this norweigan-vienna guro, may have been the best I’ve stumbled on. Covered many subjects on vienna history with funny facts, answered all questions and guided us on a not to long walk but in a very historical part of town. GUYS, BOOK THIS WALK, so interesting FIVE STARS on the guide ! Remember bring water, vienna can be boiling hot in summer

Absolutely perfect! When people are passionate and they know how to intrigue and to speak then you can feel 2 hours like 2 minutes. I would definitely like more tours like this! Bravo!

The tour was not what we had booked. The guide explained they can change the tours. We carried on and although the guide was good the subject she specialised in was not what we had arrived for.
