    A very touching tour

    Ziggy was an excellent tour guide with lots of information about what happened in world war 2 in Vienna. She has loads of pictures and some touching stories woven into the facts about what actually occurred. We visited many sites that were important in telling the stories of world war 2. It was very moving. Definitely worth doing this tour.

    Best of the best learning tour.

    Wow. One of those rare tours where you feel like you’re with a true expert. This was one of the best subject related tours I’ve ever had. The knowledge of the guide, coupled with the subject ai had so many questions about, made this a walking university course experience.
