Excellent tour! - I believe our tour guides name was Lia. Forgive me if wrong. This is a wonderful tour. My wife and I learned so much. The guide has incredible knowledge of the palace, Hapsburg and Austrian history. The palace and grounds are very interesting. We spent some time at the Hapsburg family tree exhibit. We learned so much about the family. Be aware this tour does not meet inside the palace gates. It is at the gide center across the street and to the right of the entrance. Brown buildings. The guys at the front gate can point it out if lost.

NJ friends - Our guide Lena was very knowledgeable and provided a thorough history of the royal inhabitants of the palace. She spent a sufficient amount of time in each room for the tourists to fully understand the purpose and events in each room. She encouraged questions and answered them to my satisfaction.

Tour guide made this tour amazing! - Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. The palace is beautiful but in the end would have just been a series of lovely rooms- the guide is what makes the difference. I came away with a full imagination and a genuine appreciation for the history of the Hapsburg family, sparked my curiosity to learn more.

Go during the week, if possible - It was very busy on the weekend. I would go during the week if possible. Maybe there would be less children around. One in another group cried and cried. The link for the meeting place didn’t seem to work. We figured it out though. Small children in our tour group were a distraction as they talked (they don’t know any better) when the guide was talking.

Confusion of meeting place - Make sure you know where to meet your tour at Schonbrunn. We were given multiple meeting places from various attendants and we missed our tour. The money went for nothing.🤬
