Great tour for those short on time! - This skip-the-line Schönbrunn Palace tour was perfect for our short time in Vienna. It was well organized, efficient, and let us see the main city highlights without feeling rushed. Skipping the lines at the palace was a huge plus, and we loved having time to explore the castle and enjoy the Christmas market. A great way to see a lot in a limited time, highly recommend!

Good but little rushed - The tour as very good and very educational and meant you don’t need to buy any of the other tours of the city. The palace was lovely but the tour of it was rushed. A longer time would have been better. I don’t know if it is longer if the Christmas market is not there in the courtyard. 55 minutes was given to look at the market first.
