Guided by a Genius!
Our guide Ben was just fabulous, an incredible font of information and a particularly nice guy on a personal level. We learnt so much about the horrors and crimes of old Vienna, with so much violence and insight in to the mindsets of the time. An excellent tour.

Fascinating study of history and crime in Vienna
This was an fascinating tour. The tour guide, Ben, does all the research for it himself. He has identified the crimes of passion and greed that represent the different eras of the city of Vienna. Some of these crimes are gruesome, so it is really more geared for teens and adults, but it's a fascinating study of the darker side of a very otherwise fancy and brightly lit city. I also got a much better sense of the history of Vienna through this tour, as the crimes exemplify the events of each century. I also appreciated walking around the old city on this tour, especially since we went past some of the older buildings, and the last remnants of the city wall, that I was unlikely to find on my own. If you are the sort of person who enjoys true crime, or the sort of person who enjoys history, this will combine both passions into a narrative ofmurder in the city of Vienna. It's a great compliment to the Vienna crime museum and should be part of anyone interested in going beneath the gilding and into the more morbid side of Vienna.

Nice city but terrible people
Beautiful city, very small though and repetitive (architecture). Extremely rude people. 50% of the people I had to associate with were terrible, 25% were nice and only a quarter were friendly. If anyone is about to visit the city, be prepared to meet very unlikable and simply rude people Who can ruin the whole experience

Why this scores 58

Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Terrible crimes in Vienna, hidden secrets of the inner city start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
