Overview
Marriage equality, Rainbow crosswalks, queer traffic light couples and ranking number four on the International Gay Travel Index for gay friendly destinations!
Austria and especially its capital, Vienna, have made massive strides these last few years regarding the equality and visibility of the LGBTIQ+ community. None of that would have been possible without the countless brave activists and pioneers, that worked towards this goal.
On this queer tour we talk about Vienna as it is now and what it took to get here, while also featuring famous and not so famous figures from Vienna's queer history.
So pack your rainbow flags and your best feather boa and discover Vienna with us at its most colorful!

Great experience!
DenisaSmidova, Oct 2021
A must for all interested in LGBT+ history and present. The tour with Anna, who was super-nice even though she had only two persons in the group by 35°C heat of the summer day, was full of information and stories (from Imperial times, WWII, but also recent history and present), with accuracy and also sense of humour. You'll see the city of Vienna how you've never see it before. We'll definitely try also other tours, thanks!
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Hi Denisa, thank you for this nice review. We are glad that you had a nice time with Anna on our exclusive tour. We are looking forward to hosting you again on our other tours. Gretings Priem Tours Team
