Franz was an informative guide, presenting the information with a side of fun and comedy. It made for a more enjoyable tour but still filled with the history of the family. At this time of year, the Christmas market in front is a nice extra! Enjoyable, even in the cold!

Excellent overview of Austrian history!

My husband normally HATES guided tours. Well, this tour was the exception, all due to our hilarious, knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Franz. Franz was able to weave fantastically interesting tidbits into his tour of the Schonbrunn palace that kept us engrossed. We left wanting more. You will learn so much about the Hapburg dynasty, and life in Vienna under Kaiser Franz Joseph & Sisi. Fabulous! A+, Franz! Thank you!
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Hello, thank you for your quite personal review. It is a pleasure to hear that we could convince your husband that guided tours can be interesting and fun as well. Schönbrunn Palace does indeed worth to visit again as it is not only one of Austrias main highlights but as it has a vast variety of interesting facts.
So maybe hope to see you again on a tour with Franz Josef ;-)
Kind regards

Nice typical tour

We had an excellent, knowledgeable guide lady who took time to answer any questions. We started our tour in the gardens and then entered the castle at precisely the correct time! The castle was stunning inside, but we only went through a few rooms on the first floor where Maria Theresa and family lived. I was too tired to make the trek up to the Gloriette, but they do offer small train rides. My daughter hiked back, about a half mile I think it is, and took some gorgeous pictures of the castle from there. It was your standard guided tour, but I can recommend it. Just be prepared to do a lot of walking.
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Hello Gloria,
Hello,
thank you so much for your great review of our Schönbrunn Palace tour. It is always great to hear such lovely words of appreciation from our customers. Your interest in Austrian history is also wonderful to hear. We are also happy to forward your kind words to your tourguide, an indeed very competent and experienced guide with whom we are glad to work with.
At the beginning we mention exactly which rooms are shown on the highlight tour and unfortunately they do not contain all the rooms, as there would not be time enough. But you can believe us that you see the best selected highlight ones on the tour.
Because of the size of the garden, we always start by pointing out that the entire area is over 180 hectares. Therefore, one can walk pretty and stroll extensively through the garden. As mentioned you will be rewarded with a great view of the Gloriette.

Don't go on a very hot day

It wasn't the fault of the guide. The day we booked our visit it was a stifling 38 degrees Celsius outside and we didn't even go inside the Palace because the guide said it was even hotter inside because no windows or doors would be opened. As we were REALLY feeling the effects of the heat, after visiting the Schonbrunn Zoo next to the Palace, it was a health/welfare decision to not go inside. It's a shame because it looked so beautiful from the outside and it was obviously too late to cancel.

Great tour! Our tour guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable about Vienna history and the palace. It would be even better if Tour guide can be mindful of the weather (our tour started at 3pm and it was scorching. We baked in the sun while he prepped us for 10 min). Worth a visit!
Response from Host , Aug 2019
Dear GigiT249,
we appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you loved the Schönbrunn Palace Tour!
Although very sorry, that you had to bake a little bit in the sun! I guess: Guests "well done" =)
Usually we try our best to keep our clients out of the sun and look for shade as much as we can! Still, we are very happy about your 5-Star review! Thank you <3 and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your holidays in Vienna!
Kind regards,

This is an amazing place to visit. There is a fair amount of walking involved but it is mostly inside. It can get quite warm in the summer so bring water and possibly a portable fan.
Response from Host , Aug 2019
Hello,

The actual tour of the palace and the garden was great. Marvelous avenues in the garden. Beautiful rooms inside the palace. Guide very skilled at bringing the family story behind the rooms alive. The downside of the tour was the logistics employed in getting us to the palace. We met in central Vienna and took the subway to the palace - all of which took 90 minutes. I certainly had not picked that up when selecting the tour. I would have much preferred to make my own way to the venue
