Extra ooomph added a lot - Hearing the stories behind the palace and behind the art works made this so much more useful and valuable as it set everything in context of the Empire. Our guide knew so so much and was warm hearted and kind too. This is a good pick !

Good tour for art lovers. - Our guide, Mirko, clearly loves what he does! His passion for art shone through every part of the tour. He guided us through the exhibit with a wealth of knowledge—not only about the artworks themselves but also about the palace’s architecture, its former owners, and their impact on the political and social life of their time. What made the experience even more enjoyable was Mirko’s engaging and easygoing style. He skillfully balanced insightful, in-depth information with a great sense of humor, keeping the tour both educational and entertaining. We truly appreciated the combination of laughter and learning throughout the visit. Highly recommended! Also, there is 8 acres of botanical garden you can visit for free if you come early for the tour. Many shaded areas with benches to enjoy the landscape.

The mix of history and... - The mix of history and art gave us the opportunity to understand not only the amazing Belvedere but also the main pieces of art in exhibition. We appreciated the in depth explanation of the Kiss of Klimt. It opened our eyes to a different perspective.

Highly informative tour . - “Billy” was excellent. Shared a lot of history, information and facts iclearly and concisely. Gardens were disappointing because of concert set up everywhere-prefer to have been forewarned.

Needs a Whisper Device to better hear - My only real complaint is that they do not use a whisper device so you have to stand by the guide in order to hear. If you walk up to view the painting, you miss what the guide is saying. At one point, the museum told her she was talking too loud. Just get a whisper device!
