A must for all interested in LGBT+ history and present. The tour with Anna, who was super-nice even though she had only two persons in the group by 35°C heat of the summer day, was full of information and stories (from Imperial times, WWII, but also recent history and present), with accuracy and also sense of humour. You'll see the city of Vienna how you've never see it before. We'll definitely try also other tours, thanks!
