Vienna is full of attractions that show the beauty of the City. But Vienna is more than just palaces, gardens and classical music.
See and hear about the not so nice acts, that happened through the 2000 year long history of this town.
The old town of Vienna still has a lot of leftovers from dark periods like the rule of the nazis, the wars against the ottoman empire, plague epidemics, crime and execution.
You will get to know what it was like living during the plague epidemics, the ottoman sieges or the dictatorships of the 20th century. Without having to fear a moral lecture.

We really enjoyed our afternoon. It turned out to be a private tour because we were the only ones who booked for that timeslot, but eventhough it wasn't a big group David made sure to give a really good and personal tour. Thanks from Gijs & Sharon from The Netherlands.
