Highly recommend this... - Highly recommend this tour. The palace is so huge and overwhelming we could not have done this without a guide. Ute, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and very good at highlighting the important pieces for us. We learned so much!

Wonderful Sisi Museum and guided tour - We booked a walking guide tour with Rossotravel. Our guide Alex was wonderful, in explaining the stories behind and some of the details. We felt our time was well spent on the tour. Only thing I would like to improve is the time for group to gather at beginning of the tour as tour time on the ticket was little different than the app notifications time (which was bit earlier). The text msg was ok but didn’t have the exact time we should meet. Overall, the tour itself was super smooth and guide was professional and informative.

Don’t miss this - Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and his stories about the Hofburg Palace and Sisi Museum were captivating and brought the place to life. A private guide is the way to go!

Perfect tour (and tour guide) for true history lovers - Exceptional. If you’re truly into the details of Habsburg/Viennese history (*and not just wanting a quick run-through of basic highlights), this is the guided tour for you. Well worth the higher cost and extended time. Our English tour guide, Ute (a certified Vienna tour professional), was fabulous - and funny - and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her as she guided us around the palace, the treasury, Sisi museum, imperial apartments, and all of Hofburg’s many noteworthy sights and anecdotal stories.

Great tour! - My tour guide, Alex, was great. He was friendly , engaging, and knowledgeable about Sisi and Hofburg Palace. My only caveat is that these guided tours don't allow much time for sightseeing at your own pace. The rooms, depending on their size, can get crowded very fast as other tour groups or individuals on an audio tour are also passing through. Afterwards, Alex took us on a quick tour of the outside grounds and gardens and gave us helpful tips on how to get a seat at Cafe Demel. Incredibly useful!

Aweful customer care - I had booked this tour for my planned trip to Vienna for the Taylor Swift concert. Unfortunately, the concert was cancelled, so I wanted to cancelled this tour as I would no longer travel to Vienna . However I missed the 24-hour cancellation window by an hour.. I still asked for a refund, which was declined as per their policy. Well I had expected some leeway given the situation, and given the fact that many Viennese institutions offer refunds/free goodies for concert goers. Refund did not happen, but okay, that is the policy. 3 days later (!) I would get such a condescending and unfriendly email from the so-called “customer complaints specialist” Aleksandra, I was shocked! She made feel guilty about not showing up and letting the guide wait, incurring costs on their side and preventing other customers to book the tour!! How is any of the above on my side? I told them I would be unable to join, hence my request for a refund. They could have easily open up those spots! I am still shocked at this experience. Once back in Vienna at another point (and I travel there often) I will definitely not book with them and prevent anyone else not to do so too..
