Waste of time and money!
Vyacheslav_I
, May 2022
Waste of time and money! Although this was an English speaking tour, during the bus ride the tour guide was trying to speak three languages at the same time: German, Spanish and English. This was very confusing because by the time she switched to English the bus had already passed the point of interest. We had to guess what she was talking about. We felt like we lost 2/3 of our time on a tour because we had to listen the same sentence repeated trice. When we were inside the Palace the guide was very reluctant to answer our questions and spoke with quiet voice so that I missed some of her presentation. Very disrespectful to your guests. We were very disappointed with this tour.

A boring bus tour of Vienna and brief interior tour of the Schonbrunn Palace
Samir_P
, May 2022
We were disappointed with this tour of Schonbrunn Palace. The guide was mediocre and felt rushed all the time, first explaining things in German and briefly in English. When we arrived she didn't let anyone use the restrooms at the main gate entrance so we had to walk a very far distance back from the palace gardens tour. Inside the palace was very packed with tourists, so it was very hard to hear the guide on the headset. I would not recommend this tour because driving around the city was absolutely boring and wasted our time which could've been spent at the palace.

Average experience. We were shown empty rooms, in a small space. There was communtary from the local tour guide but all-in-all we could have better spent our money elsewhere. We did not have an opportunity to view the outside of the palace, Strangely enough, the in-laid parquet flooring in the palace rooms was magnificent, and was my most memorable take-away.

Great if you don't want to spend all day

, Sep 2021
Good option if you just want a fairly quick tour with a good guide who knows his stuff. The palace and gardens are lovely but you won't have a huge amount of time there. The palace tour is informative for sure and you also get some background and information on sights along the way while on the bus.
