Eine sehr informative und interessante Tour. Frau König hat uns einen sehr interessanten Auszug aus den vielen Gräbern gezeigt. Viele Künstler, Politiker und prominente Persönlichkeiten. Und es wurde viel über die Hintergründe erzählt. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Herr Rossi war ein sehr netter, sympathischer Guide, der seine Führung sehr interessant und informativ gestaltet hat. Es wurden die wichtigsten Gräber gezeigt und er bot einen guten Mix aus historischen Hintergründen und Anekdoten. Hat Spaß gemacht, gerne wieder!

Es war eine tolle Tour, ein sehr sympathischer, humorvoller Guide und man hat Viel gesehen und gelernt, über die Entstehung des Friedhofs, Wien an sich und natürlich über die Toten Aber wenn man wirklich alles, alles vom Friedhof sehen will, braucht man definitiv mehr als 2h Ich kann die Tour auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen
