  Disappointing experience. The tour is a hustle and bustle, the concert too short for the prize and the coronation was the loud cleaning up activities of the catering service after the break, which were massively disruptive during the concert! Musically, the orchestra and soloists were good and the concert space worth seeing. From the middle, however, the acoustics are no longer special.

  

• The palace tour was very nice. We enjoyed the concert but we were seated in the back and couldn’t see the musicians.

  The palace tour was very nice. We loved the concert but were seated in the back snd couldn’t see the musicians. We would have liked a program for the music that was played.

  Finding the ticket collection point was not clear in the booking information. Tickets were redeemed in the Palace at the tour entrance - a long way from the entry

• Overall, I wouldn't recommend this.

  The tour of the palace was a short, audio-only tour which included only a small number of rooms of the palace. Additionally, we felt rushed — the security guards were right behind us the whole time, herding us through at a fast pace. The concert was good, although the trio who plays a concert in the basement of Mozart's apartment building were better. For some dumb reason, we had to walk a long ways to check in for the tour and then walk all the way back after the palace tour to check in for the concert. Some smarter planning could resolve that and save ladies having to walk so much in high heels. The worst part was during the second half of the concert, the staff in the back of the auditorium were making a lot of noise—moving furniture around or something—which really detracted from being able to enjoy the music. One saving grace was the price included a ticket for a free drink and free entree from a vendor in the Christmas market.

  Wonderful experience, the after-hours tour was fantastic as there were only about 20 of us in the entire palace. And the concert afterwards made for a magical evening.

  Collection Point for tickets is in the palace not out near the street. Don't rely on staff to give correct directions!! Wise also to check if there is an event on in the grounds, just re. building and setup works etc. You don't need 30 minutes from voucher validation to start of tour. suggest arriving much earlier e.g., 4.30 or 5.00, checking voucher, then going to gardens and a cafe/restaurant, returning by 6.50 pm. Audio guide is clear and enough. Note it has no lanyard so you might bring your own and remove before returning the device, if you need hands free e.g., for taking photos. Be aware it is quite a long walk from palace to the orangerie for the concert. Be prepared e.g., for rain etc.. also, if you are VIP, you can get your drink at half time so no stress about having it before the concert. VIPs get choice of seating but if you delay in the foyer with your drink, you might not get your seating preference. You can purchase snacks if you have missed dinner etc. Seats numbers are not allocated. The concert is exceptional and featured Mozart and Strauss when we attended. There is a small souvenir sales point. Taxis are ready when you come out of the concert about 10 to 10.15 pm. There are good bathroom facilities in the orangerie complex.

  Nice palace tour and a good learning opportunity. The concert was good and at tge right pace and length. The highlight is the soprano singer who was phenomenal.

  Informative audio tour, friendly guides available for any questions, absolutely wonderful way to see Shönbrunn palace without the crowds and with a fabulous classical concert to conclude the experience. The conductor interacted with the audience which was a fun addition!
