Must see - Our guide Alex was fantastic. His passion & good humor were infectious. It was a very educational tour, we learned more about the actual people who inhabited the palace and their daily lives. It was very interesting. I particularly enjoyed Alex’s ability to convey information through storytelling instead of just reciting facts.

To the Max - do this tour - The time flew by. Plenty of interesting commentary by Max without him banging on which some guides tend to do. Very worthwhile.

Palace Perfection with Petra! - What a beautiful experience, with our guide Petra, at the Schonbrunn Palace. Despite the crowds and cold, our guide had total control of the tour. Not only was she a wealth of knowledge but she made each transition between rooms and the garden seamless. It was well worth doing this tour.

Only see half the palace but great guide - Only does half the palace and you need to buy another entrance ticket to see the rest. Better to just buy the 1 ticket direct and have an offical guide or audio guide and save money and time. Maybe only 1 hour spent inside, the rest is waiting at the start, shopping stop and then the garden
