Vienna tour - Great experience. We enjoyed the tour. The palace and the christmas markets were super crowed, but not the fault of the guide. We visited the gardens and definitely we can recommend this tour.

Tour well worth taking - This is a fabulous tour. Our guide, Christina, was awesome. Very warm greeting and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The property itself is magnificent both exterior, including the grounds, but it’s the interior that is mind blowing. Very fascinating history of the family.

Must do - It was excellent. I would highly recommend it to everyone! Our guide, Lena, was amazing. She explained everything clearly and made the while history sound very interesting. A great storyteller! I think I wouldn't have been this impressed if I had just gone on my own.

Royal For a Day - Lena was terrific- she gave great information and delivered it in a funny way yet she was also authentic and relatable. We wouldn’t hesitate to take a tour with this group again! The palace was also well worth it. Stunning and full of history.

Bad experience - Viator, I am responding to your email here. We just returned from our trip to Europe and as far as this Shonbrune Palace excursion was concerned it was a total disappointment. We arrived at the meeting point just a couple minutes late due to the very rainy weather and cab driver’s earnest efforts. Yet when getting there nobody could help us at the center across the street from the palace. They said they had no relationship with Viator. Then I tried to call Viator with the number given several times and the call would not go through. So we ended up buying another ticket ourselves to get in the palace. A real bummer. So I would ask you to refund our purchase price of &118.76 for the two tickets. This was a terrible experience all around.

Very Disappointed - We were at the Schonbrunn Palace and hour a head of the 11:15am start time. We asked the Museum staff where the tour met. They told us outside the main gate. There are three gates. We checked all 3 but never encountered the tour group. This was very disappointing. We expect a full refund. We are experienced travelers
