Maximilian - In these tours the quality, enthusiasm and knowledge of the gude is critical. We were lucky to have Maximilian (Max for most of his customers) showing us around Hofburg Palace and Sisi Museum. It got quite late, dark and cold by the end, so the rest of our paying group all gave up, but Max continued with just the 2 of us as the program stipulated. Thank you Maximilian, well done !
