Frequently asked questions about this tour
Is this tour pleasant in the rain?
Part of the route leads along open riverside paths, so appropriate clothing is recommended in case of rain. The quiet alleys and courtyards offer some shelter in between. The guide will adjust the pace if necessary.
How strenuous is the route, for example, the Mariahilf steps?
The ascent to the Mariahilf pilgrimage church is via a long staircase and requires a certain basic level of fitness. If you wish to skip the ascent, please inform the guide in advance, and the route will be adjusted accordingly.
Can this tour be combined with the Highlight Tour?
Yes, many guests book the Hidden Places Tour as a supplement to a classic city tour, for example, on a second day. Simply contact us about a combination.
