Plenty of walking for the... - Plenty of walking for the gardens and to the gloriette, but amazing history, architecture, and great information as well. I forgot the name of our tour guide, but he led the 2 pm tour on Feb. 18th, 2025, and his parents were married in the chapel at Schönbrunn! He was a great storyteller and linked many of the narrations not just to Schönbrunn but to other sites as well. Very engaging, especially considering we had about 15 people in our group, but he addressed everyone's comments/questions. Fascinating tour! Just be prepared for a lot of walking outdoors! But exploring the grounds were well worth the steps, especially the view of Vienna from the gloriette.

Brilliant - Really entertaining and interesting tour! Not too long and not too short- the perfect amount of time to enjoy each room. I’d recommend going in the spring or summer to enjoy the gardens a bit more, winter time doesn’t do them any justice. The tour guide was good and answered all questions. I’d only recommend that he makes more space for photos instead of standing in-front of the paintings and hand gesturing as people take snaps.
