Good value great tour. - I finally got the joke that good audio tours were perhaps better than human guides because you got more of the totality of the property and not just what the guide wanted to show. This was a well done tour and on the earlier side so crowds were manageable.

The Only Way to See the Palace - I greatly enjoyed this tour! I can't imagine it would have been worth seeing the interior of the palace without a guide. My guide, Max, was incredibly enthusiastic and did a great job detailing each room, as well as explaining the history of the palace in a way that was easy to follow. Worth every penny if you want to see the interior of the palace.

Highly recommend! - We had the pleasure of having Lisa as our guide for the Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met, Lisa’s warmth, humor, and enthusiasm were contagious. She truly made the history of Schönbrunn come alive in a way that was both engaging and informative. Her deep knowledge of Vienna's history and the palace’s significance was impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and anecdotes that you wouldn't get from just reading a brochure. The skip-the-line access was a huge bonus, saving us time and stress, and Lisa made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take in the beauty of the gardens and the palace without feeling rushed. We appreciated how Lisa tailored the tour to our interests and took time to answer all of our questions. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Lisa as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!
