Good to have a guide - Because Schönbrunn Palace can get really busy in high season, we pre-ordered these tickets months in advance through GetYourGuide - I assume you pay some premium, but at least you are confident to get in, and not queue too long. Bonus was our guide, a lady who was very familiar with the place (because she grew up next doors) and was very professional and informative. Wonderful visit and happy to recommend

Definitely go with a group! - Holy cow this is a busy space. I definitely recommend going with a tour group or it is just a miserable and overwhelming experience. Viator was wonderful to work with. I struggled to find the group initially and their support line person stuck with me and gave me step by step directions. Ute was knowledgeable and an excellent guide.

Perfect way to do Schonbrunn - Perfect way to do Schonbrunn. The line is super long - this lets you skip it. The palace is packed with people and it’s easy to miss the key details - you get a guide to tell you about what you are seeing.

Don’t book this! It’s a scam! - We got to the tour at 10:15 and no one has shown up 45 mins later. They don’t answer the chat and there is no way to contact them. Palace is sold out today. We came to Vienna just to see this attraction and now can’t. Worst tour group!
