My husband and I went on the Historical Hitler walking tour with our guide Stefan. It was very interesting, we saw lots of things we wouldn’t have necessarily found if we didn’t go on this tour. Stefan was very interesting and informative, we would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Stefan for an enjoyable afternoon.

Dieter, our guide, made this the great tour it was. With a title like "Historical Hitler Walking Tour," I thought it could be click bait, but instead it was an interesting and fascinating look at Vienna's history while Hitler was living there, as well as during after WWII.

Detr was amazing, highly recommended. He’s knowledgeable, respectful, and take his time to respond to questions. Also threw in a bit of a dad joke here and there which lightened the mood

I had a long layover in Vienna so decided to book this tour and it was time very well spent. Dieter is not only incredibly knowledgeable, explaining history clearly and in an easy way to understand, but he answers sensitive questions exceptionally well while it comes to Austria’s role in WW2. It’s rare to come across a guide with as much passion as he does with a true heart to share history. He was also impressively mindful of it being a warm day and did his best to keep us comfortable, staying in the shade when available and giving restroom breaks. These seem minor but they really made for a much more enjoyable tour. Highly recommend. Vienna is beautiful in so many ways but this element of history is also important to share.

My wife and I have just finished the tour with Charles who was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Not only did we find out a lot about Hitler’s time in and attachment to Vienna but also a lot of other interesting facts. We both loved it. A perfect way to finish our short stay in Vienna.

Anyone travelling to Vienna ought to do this excursion. It was illuminating and sobering because of the current rise in antisemitism. Very informative and guide was good
