Reviews Prater Vienna
“Entretenido i curioso.”
“Der Ausflug war sehr kurzweilig. Der Guide hatte tiefe, hintergründige Geschichtskenntnisse und hat diese episodisch mit den Bauwerken verbunden, auch immer zum hier und jetzt des heutigen Wiens. Die Fahrradtour war dazu leichtgängig und flüssig - ein richtig schönes Erlebnis.”
