Had a wonderful tour... - Had a wonderful tour experience with Barbara. She was a wealth of information on Vienna, history and of course art. She helped us understand not just individual paintings, but how they fit into the overall city's history. We also learned the history of the palace and the surrounding area. I highly recommend this tour to bring. meaning to the art. This museum is huge and without a guide I would have just wandered its halls and taken little away with me. Barbara gave us plenty of time for photos and to walk around on our own in each room before she moved us on. The tour ended with a walk around the building and down to the lower house as well.

Mote than just Klimt. - Extensive, informative delve into the art history of the Belvedere collection. Our tour guide Selin was knowledgeable and a great teacher. Of course, the highlight of the visit for us was the Klimt collection, but there really is so much more. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

It's worth a visit - The visit of the palace and its museum are visits to Vienna. We can see the famous paintings like "The Kiss" by Der Kiss as well as "Bonaparte crossing the Frand-Saint-Bernard" by Jacques-Louis David.

Where to meet us a secret. - I was not instructed about where to meet. We went to 3 locations until someone called me and said to come to her green umbrella at the main entrance. That was a waste of time and stressful. All 4 parties on our tour had the same trouble. Asa result we started late. Tell people where to meet! Not difficult.
