Wow! Do this tour it was incredible. - This was an excellent tour, with the guide Siri (yes that is really her name) imparting some excellent information about Empress Elizabeth that was interesting throughout the tour. I recommend this as an introduction to the Hapsburgs and their amazing dynasty. The tour was a full 2 and a half hours with a relatively small English speaking group which made is more personable.

Guide needs a moral compass - We couldn't make it. Guide called at 2.33. Said "where were you". I mentioned one of us sick and we could not come". Guide said "ok thank you, and thank you for letting us know". Ok, well gee I'm sorry, whilst my partners in the hospital and I'm busy dealing with that, you're right next time I'll think of you first. Maybe the approach should be " your 3 minutes late is everything ok?. At the end of day i had bigger things going on, I didn't ask for a refund and nor should I have to be made I ruined your day by not letting you know. Now back to the issue on hand. She wasn't to know of my sutuation for sure, but if she had of asked " you're late, is everything ok?". I may have been inclined to explain the full severity of the situation. So no, i would not recommend this company to anyone. And of course i can't judge on how the tour guide does her job, but on this experience and her attitude i felt she needs to consider is she asuiitable front person to represent the company.
