About this experience

Would you like to get to know the highlights of Vienna's city center in an entertaining way?
You don't want to be dependent on a fixed appointment?
Would you like to explore the city independently and not be guided through the city with a group of strangers?
Then this interactive mobile phone tour is just right for you!
I have designed a charming video tour for you that you can start at any time with your cell phone (even on multiple devices at the same time).
The tour is structured in a playful way: at each stop you first watch the video with explanations of the sights, then there is a small puzzle and then you are forwarded to the next stop.
The price is to be paid once for your entire group and not individually per person.
