Austrian Versailles - The Palace is vast. Having a knowledgeable guide adds immensely to the experience. Plan on two hours for the Palace and more for the grounds.

Sensational Schönbrunn - This is a first class tour of palace and gardens but also a tremendous history of the Hapsburgs and notably Sisi and Franz Josef I. Billy (Billiana?) was our exceptional tour guide and brought everything to life

Billie was a wonderful... - Billie was a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable about everything! She made things very easy to understand and gave advice as we went room to room. She even shared a secret for taking photos which I wish I would have thought of or known in Versailles. Life hack!

Schönbrunn Palace - Last autumn i was go in Vienna and now I will tell you more about one place that I adore. Schönbrunn Palace is one of the famous place I have ever visited. The architecture of the palace is impressive. Also outside There is a garden with beautiful flowers and up on the hill there is also the oldest zoo in the Europe. Everything outside was so incredible. Unfortunately, we were unable to go inside the palace and the zoo. Not because we do not have a time, because the price was too expensive. You have to pay around 40 euros only to see one room inside the palace. Also the zoo was too expensive too, so unfortunately we did not go there. But the other things that you can see there is so increadible. My advice for you is o go maybe in the spring because if you do not want to pay for palace and zoo, you will enjoy the beautiful view and the blooming flowers. Also the palace is so perfect for groups of friends and couples.
