Great tour and guide

5.00We did the Schonbrunn Palace tour with Lena and it was fantastic! She is very nice, has a lot of knowledge and good sense of humor. She seems to do only this tour, so if you are thinking of going, I highly recomend you do it with this company and with her. The booking was easy and all went very well, so if we had more time, we would have done other tours with them.
Wonderful palace tour!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lena, who gave terrific details about the Hapsburg family and their historical significance. The tour was very informative and engaging, thanks to her great sense of humor and knowledge of history. She also managed our group expertly, keeping us together when it got crowded and giving us clear instructions before we headed in. This is a great tour to do a few days into your Vienna visit, because you will understand more of the references and the paintings. For example, seeing a huge painting of the Spanish Riding School was especially fun and interesting after having just seen the Lippizaner stallions a couple of days before. In short, the tour was great and Lena was wonderful.
It was really beautiful; the guide was very nice and explained everything well; it is definitely worth it.

5.00Great tour with very knowledgable guide. It was very busy in the palace but Lena kept track of the people in the group. Highly recommend as much better than just the audio guide online.

5.00Achim did a great job with a large group of 25 not all with English as 1st language and a few stragglers who showed up late. Very engaging and informative plus good at showing the group the highlights in a busy palace. Also optional look at the key points in the gardens. Overall very satisfied.
