1.00Beautiful St. Stephen's Cathedral you can admire several works of interest and then ... there is the guided tour of the catacombs ... you are there and what do you do not go? every 30 minutes you create a group more or less 100 people and get off ... guide only in English and German but there is ... of little interest what awaits you But especially at the price of € 8 it is absolutely not worth it!

2.00Had a catacomb tour today. Must say that unfortunately this is not us about 15 years ago... Had it much more exciting and creepy in mind. There was a special creepy room back then, unfortunately there is no more. Were a bit disappointed as this room was by far the best.
Great Improved Tour

5.00St. Stephen's was closed due to a confirmation, but Sandra improvised and took us to some other catacombs at St. Michaels. We were very lucky they were doing a tour and many told us it was better than St. Stephen's. She also showed us some other points of interest during our time. She did a fabulous job of figuring out a new plan!

5.00Our guide, Timea, was enthusiastic and funny. We were very tired, but quickly forgot with her lively and witty tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, and patient with our questions. The crypt was fascinating and just the right amount of ghoulishness. I highly recommend this tour.

4.00Suggestive to see how the Habsburgs decided to be buried and how the funeral rites were managed. It's worth it, the tour lasts a total of 20/25 minutes

5.00Although the history of the catacombs is only explained in German and basic English, I recommend the visit to learn more about the history of this wonderful city.
