Excellent tour! Excellent tour guide! - Our tour with Samia was on the highlights of our trip to Vienna. She was very knowledgeable of the history of the Palace and it's place in Austrian culture. She was well spoken and polite but certainly made sure we had great spots to view the artifacts. Samia was a pleasure and we highly recommend her!

Great experience thanks to our guide - Claire had incredible knowledge about the palace and the history of the Hapsburgs. It was great to learn from her. The visit was richly informative because of her.

Private tour is good value for the money - Private tour is the way to go! We learned so much more and enjoyed the Austrian History. Our guide, Ewald, was top notch. He kept us on time and filled the time with much history. I highly recommend.

Fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly guide! - Amela was an amazing guide! She knew a phenomenal amount of detailed history of the Palace, the architecture, and the family line. She was so very accommodating, friendly, and helpful, and customized the tour to meet our requests of what we wanted to see. Highly recommend this tour with Amela!

Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide - Our guide’s in depth knowledge of the history was a highlight. Since it was a private tour, we asked many questions- his answers and additional comments made this a very special experience.

A private tour at Schonbrunn Palace and bonus Christmas Market! - Four of us booked a private tour. Karin, our guide, was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions, and there were many - some of which were very obscure! We did have a bit of trouble locating each other before the tour started as the proper "entrance" to meet at wasn't very clear (there is the "main" entrance from the street and the "Palace" entrance which actually takes you inside the Palace to start the tour), but we eventually made contact. I wouldn't recommend this tour for people with mobility issues as it is all walking with no seating. Overall we all enjoyed and a bonus was the Christmas Market taking place at the time we visited.

Fun tour experiencing the history of the palace - The multiple rooms showing how the family lived and how each room had a different purpose. Plus seeing all the furniture and artwork that was around during the 1800s

Very Disappointing - The tour guide was supposed to be fluent in English but had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand. In addition, transportation was included and the driver who didn't speak any English tried to charge us 90 euros. For the price of the tour, the expectation was fairly high. Finally, the tour guide didn't take cues from us on how we wanted to go through the palace. I have booked many Viator tours and have been extremely satisfied. This was not one of them. So much depends on having a good tour guide.
