Vienna is a city so full of splendour, it’s all too easy to lose yourself amid the grand architecture, age-old museums and mouth-watering cuisine. But if you like to add some social context when you travel, you may be keen to try an educational walk with a member of Vienna’s homeless community.

In an initiative set up by Shades Tours, a mixture of formerly and currently homeless guides, are provided with training and paid salaries, so that they might show visitors and locales alike, how the homeless community deal with the complexity of day-to-day life on Vienna’s streets. They will show you the city from their perspective, give you a glimpse into Vienna’s social system, explore the many challenges homeless people in Vienna face, and discuss the solutions the city aims to provide.
Tours are held in English and group sizes are limited to 15 guests, to allow for plenty of questions and in-depth discussion.

Note: if you enjoy your tour and would like to show your appreciation, a tip for your guide would be most welcome!
