Review of Schönbrunn Palace after-hours tour, Austrian dinner, and Mozart and Strauss concert, with honest advice on seats, timing, and value.
“The palace is lovely and the after hours tour was nice. I'm assuming we skipped a long line. However the meeting place was not described well. Inside the gate to the left of a huge court yard a palace was a terrible way to describe the meeting point. We had to ask a few people where to go. Just a few more sentences about going through the gate, all the way through the courtyard, go inside the tour office which is on the left of the main building entrance.. etc. Also, we were told the tour started at 5. It started at 5:30, so we all just sat there waiting…”

Review of Vienna’s Mozart concert at the Musikverein, with seating advice, hall details, ticket tips, dress rules, value, and honest drawbacks.
“The concert was great, however there are 2 rooms where the performance may be. We thought based on the pictures that we would have been in the Gold Room which is what we hoped, but, the performance ended up being in the other room. We enjoyed it very much but disappointed it was not in the Gold Room.”
