Highly recommended - Our tour with Manuel was impressive, educational and very interesting! We spent a week in Vienna as a group of students and in the end agreed that this is the most worthwhile insight into this wonderful city. We recommend it to all groups who want to know more about life beyond sisi and cake.

Great and authentic tour - Really great leadership. You can ask all the questions, get a better understanding and that from a person who has his own experience with it. I think it’s nice that the group guides have a job that they can also do fully authentically and thus fit back into a regular life. The tour I can only recommend!

Highly recommended - The tour was very interesting and provided a lot of background information. Our guide Josef was very sympathetic and also told us a lot about his life and how quickly it can happen that you become homeless. I also found it very interesting how much the situation has changed from past to present. We had our 14 year old niece with us, who was also very impressed. Highly recommended!

Wonderful - It was a wonderful, interesting, informative “journey” with our guide Roman into an unknown world. A “world” in which so many people live or end up stranded. I was very impressed and moved by the tour and the enormous amount of information! LG Ingrid Knauf
