Austrian Versailles, Schonbrunn Castle - Wonderful Castle, wonderful park. Every corner of this monument is steeped in history. Beautiful view of Vienna from the Gloriette

Tour notes Schönbrunn Palace - This tour included a drive through in Vienna before getting to Schönbrunn Palace. It’s a good idea to see the gardens before the tour of the inside of the palace

Great tour, but not 100% English. - Safe and friendly tour guides and bus driver. Excellent stops. Perfect tour for a one day in Vienna for a first timer. The only reason they did not get five stars is because I had signed up to be on an English speaking tour and the tour guide was a native German speaker who split 2/3 of the trip speaking Spanish for the Spanish-speaking folks and only 1/3 of it in English so I missed an awful lot. I wish it would’ve said that it was both English and Spanish being spoken. I wouldn’t have chosen that.

Worth visiting if you are history lover but overrated! - Over rated tour and very crowded. Tour guide didn't even cover the garden areas and didn't provide time to walk yourself.

Nice, but... - I liked the combination of bus trip around Vienna before going to Schonbrunn but not enough time to see Schonbrunn Gardens. Also, combining two languages translation does not work.

We arrived before 915am... - We arrived before 915am but there is no one with signs or direction where to wait. Finally we found the tour guide. Tour was great and Chris was very knowledgeable and informative. You don’t have a lot of time after the tour before they leave on the bus so be aware of that as there literally stick to the time if your any minutes late you will be scolded. Also you don’t have much time to see anything else in the market. Otherwise the tour was good just the guides should have a little bit more patience.

As flexible as a pavement tile! - We had DE and booked a tour in the morning around 0930. We arrived at the Schönbrunn EN plenty of time to take a look around and figure out where to gather. EN arrived we found out that the meeting point of this tour was a few kilometers away and not at the palace itself. After being contacted by telephone, I was told by both the head office and DE tour guide that I could no longer take DE part in the tour if I did not go to the meeting point. Now I understand that it is my fault that I was wrong (the meeting point was at the bottom of an email I had received). But due to the fact that I was present at DE actual tour location, I felt that the organization could have accommodated me in some way. I was offered a discounted tour DE next day, but DAN we would not be in Vienna anymore. We booked a tour EN with another organization (which did collect at the palace) and took our loss. Very unfortunate EN unnecessary in my opinion.

Confusing due to being provided in two languages at once - While my tour was booked for English, it is provided in both Spanish and English at the same time. I found this to be confusing. I do not feel that I got the tour I paid for. The dual language aspect was not indicated when I booked the tour. Since 1/2 the time was spent in a language other than English, I feel we got half the tour we paid for. I would not recommend this tour. Because the tour guide went back and forth between languages, there were times we were past the point of interest being discussed.
