Very informative tour. - Alex was vwry knowledgeable. It was a great experience. If it is an afternoon tour, it is better to see the gardens first.

5 star tour - Mario, our English guide was very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining in detail the history and politics in Schonbrun. Enjoyable, well organised tour and it wasn't rush.

Great Tour - The tour was very pleasant and super interesting . The Palace and the gardens are beautiful. We spend a very wonderful morning and the Christmas Markets was a plus during Christmas season.

Facts and perspectives! - Alex offered not only interesting facts and a structured tour of so many beautiful buildings on the grounds but perhaps more significant a perspective on the historical events and players that I’ve not yet heard on Austrian history. It was captivating and he did well to navigate through crowds, cold and tight passageways with ease and aplomb. Highly recommend!

Will recommend! - Our guide was knowledgeable and simplified things in a fun way. He stayed on schedule and kept the group out of the way of the flow of other tourists which made the experience smoother. Will recommend to others!

Excellent - Meeting up with our guide was very easy. Our guide, Alex, was brilliant. He spoke good clear English and was very knowledgeable about the Palace and it’s history. He also had a good sense of humour. It was an excellent tour and highly recommended

Schönbrunn Palace Tour - The guide was informative and fun. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded, which made it difficult to keep up with our guide. We found the meeting place, but it would have helped to know we were to meet at the cafe, instead of just the photo sent.

Decent way to see the palace - The location using google maps for Meet and greet was incorrect and caused some confusion. The tour itself is like any palace tour - state rooms etc. does give a small perspective on the history

Our guide, Mario was... - Our guide, Mario was excellent. He was very informative and able to keep a large group moving and engaged. Because of the time of year, it was dark when we walked the gardens. I would suggest a tour earlier in the day if you want to explore the outside of the palace.
