Excellent guide inside the castle, a lot of history knowledge, but she live us in the garden without the tour or advise what to see.

Our tour guide, Alexander, really knew his history when it came to this tour. If you are into details and stories of what life was like back in the time that the palace was most active, he is your guide. The rooms are stunning and the information that you come out of it with will stay with you for a long time. You can tell that Alex has a true passion for history and this particular gem.

Wolfgang was a very knowlegeable guide after being a career attorney. He met us ontime and got us into an Uber following the tour.

This is a stunning palace, steeped in history. Catarina was an excellent guide. We knew a little of the history and learned much more. Thank you!

This turned out to be a private tour. Stefan was fabulous! He shared so much information and the palace and gardens were amazing. A must see!

This is one of the must see places in Vienna and you need to do it with a knowledgeable guide. Katarina was great, she blended the history with the stories and "gossips" of the imperial court, making the tour very informative and fun. Highly recommend her.

We thought our guide Biljana was just excellent. Schönbrunn is also very much worth seeing, more so than the Hofburg as it has more styles of room design than the latter. Biljana was very knowledgeable and sensitive to the pace that we were able to go, being seniors. We recommend this tour highly.

The tour guide was superb. The tour itself was enlightening and informative, and she was very good on detail and we lucked out with perfect weather so a tour of the Gardens turned out to be better than we expected all in all a perfect day.

Our guide was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about all things to do with the palace. She also knew all of the ins and outs pertaining to our palace tour. I highly recommend Katarina for your guided palace trip!
