From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 15.
A powerful sculpture group dedicated to the victims of the Nazi regime. It includes the kneeling street washing figure, a haunting reminder of the public humiliation of Jews in 1938.
The iconic opera house that was heavily bombed in 1945 and rebuilt as a symbol of peace. It stands as a witness to the cultural purges and the physical destruction of the war.
The art academy where Adolf Hitler was twice rejected as a student. This failure pushed him into a life of poverty and resentment in Vienna, shaping his antisemitic worldview.
A peaceful park that was once the Emperor's private garden. It offers a route to the Hofburg and a moment of quiet before confronting the site of the 1938 Anschluss speech.
The historic square where Hitler announced the Anschluss in 1938 to a massive cheering crowd. It is the focal point of the debate regarding Austria's complicity in the Nazi regime.
A modern 'X' shaped monument dedicated to the soldiers who refused to fight for Hitler. It honors deserters and conscientious objectors who were executed as traitors.
The seat of government where Chancellor Dollfuss was murdered by Nazis in 1934. It was here that the Austrian government capitulated to Hitler in March 1938.
A concrete memorial known as the Nameless Library, dedicated to the 65,000 Austrian Jews murdered in the Holocaust. It stands as a silent, sealed archive of lost lives.
The only synagogue in Vienna to survive the 'Night of Broken Glass' in 1938. Hidden behind a residential facade, it escaped the flames that destroyed 93 other synagogues.
The site of the former Gestapo headquarters in Vienna. A memorial stone honors the victims of political persecution and the resistance fighters who suffered here.

It was a very informative audio guide tour, we leaned alot and visited places we not have encountered otherwise nor known its history. Very glad we did it! Our only suggestion would be that the explanation on how to download and start the audio tour on our phones was a little confusing as we couldn’t find our access token which it kept asking for. We did sort it but it could have been explained more clearly. The rest of the tour was seamless and very good.
While this was my first audio tour, it won’t be my last. I loved being able to stop when I wanted, and also replay a section if I missed something. I did struggle with trying to get back to the map after each stop, but that may just be a me problem. I feel the information provided was pertinent, and not TOO much, or too little.
Although it was very hot we managed to visit every sight except one… the house of glass. 21 minute walk in extreme heat proved to be too much.
Brilliantly presented guide, that took us to areas of Vienna we may not otherwise have seen. It also sheds a light on the war period and how some of the impressive buildings were seen used at that time. Did find the guide a bit tricky to navigate. Couldn't get it to move to the next audio clip. Found wr had to reopen and then select it manually.
We were looking for a tour for my 10-year-old son who is passionate about World War II. The audio guide in French was a great experience: walking through the city, pausing whenever we wanted. The tour is very clear and interesting. Even my 8-year-old son liked the experience. Thanks to the whole team
It was amazing! You learn a lot about the Nazi era and Hitler. What we really liked was that we could take breaks whenever we wanted.
The group enjoyed being able to go at our own pace and exploring. I collected opinions from the group. We all feel the app needs a little work. Slides/Videos 9 and 10 are exactly the same. We were all confused in beginning when slide did not automatically prompt to next location...we realized that you have to click blue arrow. But the app/map would glitch sometimes leading to confusion in directions. Some user thinks the content on Hitler himself was light and would of approved more on Hitler himself. Overall, we enjoyed, but needs improvement in relaying how to get link to all users and directions on operating app
Super, I can only recommend it. Especially the fact that you can ask the virtual guide anything is very modern.
Works great, easy to use and keeps what it promises. An exciting chapter in Viennese history
