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.
