SHADES TOURS - Vienna

"I got to see a different perspective in Vienna and think about bigger problems we face as humans. The stories I heard were moving and action provoking. It was probably the most important thing I did in that city during that week."

"Inspirational, informative, and impactful. The tour has confirmed to me that everyone should learn more about the topic - what better way to do so then learning about it from someone who has experienced it?"

"The touching tour of Vienna’s underbelly ended near the glamorous Belvedere Palace – much more likely to be a first stop on a typical guided tour. I know that this experience has changed me. As I wander through the city that I now call home, I won’t just be hypnotized by its surface beauty – I’ll be more aware of those whose life quality won’t be noted in a Mercer survey."

"I was amazed by the guides openness, honesty, and vulnerability throughout the tour which provided me with a fresh perspective of the city I now call home.  I greatly appreciated the information and anecdotes and I would like to think I learned a great deal. I highly recommend Shades Tours to those looking for an honest and informative experience.  This tour has genuinely changed my life."

"I did not expect to be impacted so profoundly by the information and the stories that were shared by our guide.  The tour changed that way I view the city in which I now live.  The issues surrounding homelessness and the institutions working to remedy the issues are no longer so invisible to me.  I would strongly recommend SHADES TOURS to anyone looking for a different experience in Vienna."

"Big thanks to our tour guide - for the extremely interesting tour. It was very touching, inspiring and “eye-opening”. Highly recommended for all those who want to get to know Vienna from a different angle and want to look behind the façade. Congratulations to the team of Shades Tours for this successful project!"
