The guided tour of the historic cellar far exceeded our expectations - moody, rich information and exciting insights!
Super great and interesting tour. Our group leader was very personable, easy to understand and had great background knowledge. We'll be back!
It was great! The son of the pharmacist's owner held the tour and showed and told many interesting things. It was a hands-on tour, I can recommend it without restriction!
Extremely likeable young woman led us! A lot of explanation, she was funny and I can only be positive. Will surely also book other tours there
The tour was very one-sided, only from the pharmacy's perspective. It quickly became very boring..., not recommended
The tour is also interesting for "real" Viennese people. Lots of information about the "underworld" too. More cellar tours are already planned.
A really interesting tour into the depths and the past. It's not very big, but it's worth seeing. Air raid shelters and old pharmacy cellars are silent witnesses to the times. It's good that nothing was thrown away here. I live in Vienna and am always happy to discover new aspects of my city.
The tour through parts of the Vienna underground takes you back almost 100 years. Thanks to a good guide with extensive knowledge of history, this was a very impressive experience. There are moments of wonder, horror and situations that make you think when you try to put yourself in people's shoes back then. Highly recommended for the called price. If you may already know many places in Vienna, you will be presented with a completely different page.
Great leadership. Jerry showed us all kinds of things in Vienna's basement. Were enthusiastic and would definitely recommend them
