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.

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
