Schönbrunn Alex - Alex was a phenomenal storyteller. Our tour of Schönbrunn and the gardens was scheduled for 2.5 hours, but he generously shared the stories for over 3 hours. His English was excellent, and he really provided a clear history of the palace, the trials and tribulations of the royalty, the powerful force of European monarchy and politics, the ebbs and flows of power and the effect on these factors on the lives of the palace occupants. We thoroughly enjoyed Alex’s tour.

Detailed tour - The palace and grounds are absolutely stunning and really huge. The tour and the guide was great. Only negative was some details were provided too extensively before and after entering and exiting which made standing and listening exhausting for seniors.

Schönbrunne horses - Too bad there is an equestrian championship at the same time. This caused a lot of inconvenience. The operator is not responsible but the domain yes because the ticket price was the same
