Very nice tour with a lot of information - Very nice tour, with a lot of information. Most of the tour was concentrated in the palace, and towards the end we also went to the gardens. The guide was very knowledgeable, and she also recommended us how to proceed and explore the rest of the gardens.

Skip the line worth what you pay for. Hazzle free. - Worth paying the advance ticket. The English tour guide knew her subject well. Navigated through the inside palace and outside the gardens. Strongly recommended to book it through Trip Advisor.

Sept 2025 Schonbrunn - Interesting, grand and packed! Our guide Erich was excellent. Sadly they were packing up from Longines racing weekend so it was chaotic. A whole room of paintings were being renovated so it wasn't the best time to visit

Beautiful afternoon visit. - The guide was easy to find and meet up with. She was knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting information. The group was small enough to get through the rooms of the castle. The palace was beautiful and we loved the gardens.

Massively Misleading - This is a massively misleading tour and if thr description had been acurate i.e. more detailed I would not have booked it. You do not get an hour tour in the palace nor the garden. It was not explained that the tour was a partial tour or what part we had visited. The garden tour was a complete joke, it was four stops, one of which was about the horses, one for directions and eating recommendations. The tour guide was very nice but it was such a superficial and very quick nature, if I'd have known I would not have booked it. 20 minutes of the palace tour was using the cloak room to store your bag and looking around the gift shop. I have used viator for years and this was a complete joke. I would not recommend good tours vienna.
