Fantastic 'skip the line' tour of Schönbrun Castle - 'Skip the line' was the best way to see this extremely popular and busy venue. Lisa, our guide was easy to find with the green umbrella, and she managed the logistics of getting our group through the castle superbly.

A Majestic Start at the Gloriette and a worthy tour overall. - The palace and gardens were truly impressive. We began our day with breakfast at the Gloriette Café, located in the stunning Gloriette building. I highly recommend starting there and walking down towards the palace. Situated at the top of the hill, the Gloriette offers the best vantage point, where the empress could enjoy panoramic views of both the gardens and the palace. Strolling through the gardens was a refreshing experience, and the palace itself was beautiful. Our tour guide, Julia, was exceptionally knowledgeable, making the tour even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

Dieter was fantastic! - Dieter was a wonderful tour guide. Even though we had headsets he spoke very clearly and loud enough to easily hear him. Outside where the headsets weren’t allowed, we could hear him well in the garden. He is highly knowledgeable and funny.

Interesting palace and history - The tour was good. The palace was extensive and interesting. The guide was knowledgeable. You could tell she enjoyed and appreciated the history. Unfortunately, the tour was delayed at different points due to waiting for tour members so it ran over time and we had to miss the garden portion of the tour.

Great guide - short tour - We had a great and very educational tour guide (Eddie), that took us around parts of the palace and the gardens. 5-star guide The tour is a bit short for the price, but overall a worthwhile experience

Beautiful gardens - The guide was entertaining and full of facts. The palace itself is OK. If you've been to Versailes, I would skip this. Gardens are very nice.
