Amazing tour - it gave lots of insights about the various reasons for slipping into homelessness, and how the system in Vienna works to get people out of homelessness.
Lots of aspects that I didn't know a lot about were cleared up - e.g. where can homeless people get food, shelter, and help in Vienna.
All of this was accompanied by the crazy and fascinating story of our guide.

Peter was a very sincere and well-informing Guide. I recommend the Tour! We learned about different topics in terms of homelessness - where to sleep, about food, medical treatment, leisure activities, pets, Stigma and more.

The shade tour was very touching and interesting. Our guide explained the different problems if you become homeless and that it can happen to anybody. Norbert shared some personal details and i can tell everybody in this group was touched by his tour.
I thought about his story for a long time. Thank you for guiding us and letting us ask all kinds of questions.

I just want to express my appreciation for the excellent tour I took on Saturday, 7 September with Renate. She was truly outstanding. She gave us so much interesting information to help us better understand the lives of homeless persons. She spoke with passion, but at the same time gave us facts in an open manner. She encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wished, and that every question was welcome. She never moved onto a different topic without first checking if we had any.
The tour was very moving and educative. It also gave some hope when I saw people like Renate who have managed to get out of the homelessness trap.
I have to thank your organization for this worthy cause. I will also donate to supplies to Obdach Ester, as well as tell my family and friends about your organization.
Please express my sincere thanks to Renate, and let her know from me that she really helped me better understand the situation of the homeless. Bravo Renate!
