I chose an "English" tour, but the tour was actually conducted in both English and Spanish. I found this distracting, and limited the amount of information the guide could provide. I discussed this with him and asked if two language groups had been combined because neither group was "full", and he said, no, that it is normal for tours to be conducted in both languages. If this is the case, it should be clearly stated in the promotional information. I feel like I got half the tour I paid for.

To be honest I think visiting Schonbrunn without a guide would be the better choice. The time spent inside and the number of rooms shown took nearly 2,5 hours. Afterwards we spent only half an hour in the gardens. You can easily visit the gardens on your own, but if both inside and outside tour are combined, it would be much better to have a half hour break between the two.

The degree of knowledge the guide has was appreciated. The actual "expereince" left something to be desired. Meet at 2:15, 20 minutes later the guide goes to get the group ticket. By 2:50 the group is outside the main entrance to the palace. Our entry time is 3:13, by now an hour into the tour and we have not set foot in the palace. The hour long tour was ok, very informative. We emerged for a further 25 minute wait outside before heading to the gardens (which are free to enter by the way). Could not recommend this tour, a DIY version with audio commentary would be preferable

A magnificent, must-see place in Vienna! There are priceless works to be seen. For the wire-cut tickets, it was indicated that they had to be exchanged. In the end, exchange was not necessary.

Visiting Imperial Carriage Museum in Vienna

Nestled in the gardens of the dazzling Schönbrunn Palace, the Imperial Carriage Museum in Vienna flaunts the carriages and glamorous clothing of the Habsburg family.
