To be honest: not a city tour
The focus is on people and a story, not sights. There are no historical explanations as on a guided tour – instead you get into places that are normally closed to the public.

The route: Vienna from the inside
You start at the Peterskirche in the 1st district. From there the mission leads to 5–6 places in the city centre: through a church, through passages and down into an underground wine cellar.
These places are normally closed to the public – they are rented exclusively for the duration of the mission. At the end you are back at the meeting point.
