A heartwarming and enjoyable experience - Gabrielle Provided a wonderful experience. She was knowledgeable and kept my attention. She changed my mind about walking tours. I didn’t expect to enjoy the story telling so much. She even provided some personal insights in what the place meant to her which I found sweet and endearing.

Exquisite palace - Gaby our tour guide was excellent. She had a lot of knowledge about the Palace, its history and Vienna. She is very enthusiastic in sharing her stories and made the tour very fun. very interesting tour both inside the Palace and in the gardens.

Good experience. Wish I knew more about the history. - The directions were clear, the tour went at a good pace. I wish the tour guide had given more historical information about the Hapsburgs.

Disappointing - The guide was knowledgeable but the tour was very crowded with surrounding groups in other languages. We had interference on the audio sets from a Spanish speaking tour & that issue was never fixed. We would not do this tour again. It was not worth the money.

A very disappointing And stressful experience - It was an absolute terrible experience. We lost C$161. We tried to find our tour guide but could not find them. We were there 45 minutes before meeting time and walked all around, where they said we were supposed to meet them and never met them We asked several employees of Schönbrunn and showed them the picture of the meeting place, and everyone assured us we were at the right place. However, we never met our guide! When I phoned the company since it was a Sunday, nobody was working and could give me any answers. I phoned both the Polish number and the TripAdvisor number .We were most disappointed and we would never recommend trip advisor or the company that they sent us through.

Not so great - Sorry to say but it was not so great, didn’t take more than an hour when we had to return the ear piece and goodbye. Did not get to see the gardens. Really bad

Address doesn’t work in taxi GPS - Confusing address on where to meet up, so our taxi driver was driving around in circles, and we never did find the group. Messaged the app for help and only heard back that if we’re five minutes late they’re leaving without us. Waste of $140 and $35 cab fare. Zero stars, would not recommend this tour provider…and we’ve taken many across the globe.
