Frequently asked questions

Is this tour pleasant in the rain?

Part of the route runs along open riverside paths, so suitable clothing is a good idea in wet weather. The quiet lanes and courtyards offer some shelter along the way, and your guide can adjust the pace if needed.

How strenuous is the walk, for example at the Mariahilf steps?

The climb up to Mariahilf pilgrimage church involves a long flight of steps and needs a reasonable level of fitness. If you would rather skip it, just let your guide know in advance and the route will be adjusted.

Can this tour be combined with the Highlights Tour?

Yes, many guests book the Hidden Places tour as a complement to a classic city tour, for example on a second day. Just ask us about combining the two.
