An art and history tour with an enthusiastic tour guid

5.00It's a nice place to visit if you are interested in art and history. Our tour guide, Raffa, was a very enthusiastic guy who is really knowledgeable about the history. With, hist charming Italian accent, he threw some jokes here and that makes the history lesson more entertaining. He was also able to connect the whole tour together so that you feel it as a whole single story (not just separate rooms that we are visiting).

5.00The reception was very well arranged, I was called shortly in advance to inform the appointment spot. We were inside very quickly and with a small group it was clear
The visit so far was amazing and our tour guide Micheal was very good and explained stuff in a way we could understand.

4.00Alessandra was a very informative guide. She was knowledgeable and chatty. The house was amazing (the rooms we were allowed to see) but it was very busy. The gardens were superb and so much to see. I highly recommend you take the time to visit when you are in Vienna

5.00Everything about our tour was perfect. Brigitte was eloquent, funny, and enthusiastic. Her stories made the Palace live.

5.00Our tour guide was great, you could tell she didn't like the heat so the outdoor parts felt rushed but there is a lot to see and behold outside. The inside apartments are where she excelled, and Schonbrunn provides a lot to take in; the apartments and the history revealed were interesting for both a novice and an expert! Everyone especially first-timers should book this tour!
Not just a pretty building

5.00Andy made this tour more than looking at a beautiful palace with frescos and ornate rooms. He told fascinating stories about the royal family and how those related to the social and political history of Austria. He gave you a sense of what living in Austria was like as a royal, an aristocrat and a commoner. Much much more than just a tour of a pretty building. Gardens were impressive and there was much to explore after the tour ended— the zoo, the orangerie, and the palm house. Well worth the time and money.
