Only as a local a joke if necessary
We wanted to do this rally on holiday and unfortunately failed the first puzzle due to a construction site at the starting point. We didn't get anywhere on the second puzzle either, because the terrain was already prepared for the national holiday. And even with the third and subsequent puzzles, some questions were plucked very out of the air, so you didn't really have any clues for a solution if you don't want to look at the tip.
Response from the operator: Hallo, vielen Dank für euer Feedback – schade, dass ihr keinen guten Start erwischt habt! Leider lassen sich kurzfristige Baustellen oder Veranstaltungsaufbauten vor Ort nicht immer vorhersehen bzw. kann ich nicht jedes Mal die Tour ändern– das kann in Städten natürlich vorkommen. Was die Rätsel betrifft: sie sind bewusst so gestaltet, dass man genau hinschauen und um die Ecke denken darf 😉 – aber natürlich soll der Spaß im Vordergrund stehen. Darum gibt’s auch die Tippfunktion, wenn man einmal nicht weiterkommt. Diese darf durchaus genutzt werden! :D Vielleicht gebt ihr der Rallye ja an einem anderen Tag oder in einer anderen Stadt noch eine zweite Chance – dann klappt’s bestimmt besser und macht richtig Spaß! 😊 Liebe Grüße Martina

Fun way to see the sights.
Excellent fun. Really useful links to the map. Christmas markets got in way but a couple of gluwein later and all's good.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour?
+
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 Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vienna's Darkest Secrets: A True Crime Walking Tour 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.
