Tour Schönbrunn Palace and its gardens with skip-the-line entry, lively guides, royal stories, and views toward the Gloriette.
“The tour was wonderful. Lisa was fantastic, and a good sense of humor and information.”
Tour Vienna’s Spanish Riding School, from Baroque arenas to Lipizzaner stables, with a guide in 55 fascinating minutes.
“It was a really nice experience. The length of time was good for the price. The guides were great and very knowledgeable. Very professional.”
Review of Salzburg’s Original Sound of Music Tour, with filming locations, Lake District scenery, Mondsee Cathedral, price, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Went because my mom loves The Sound of Music, but left feeling judged. We’re a brown family, and every time the guide came near us, her smile vanished, she avoided eye contact, and her attitude shifted. She didn’t engage with us at all and made us feel like we weren’t even there. The hostility was hard to ignore, and having my family experience that alongside me was honestly upsetting. When a paid experience makes you feel unwelcome, it really isn’t worth it.”
Tour Vienna’s Hofburg, Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, courtyards and gardens with skip-the-line entry and an expert guide.
“Our guide, Nicole, had such an amazing depth of knowledge and an excitement about the Sisi museum. Absolutely enjoyed hearing the “other” side to Sisi. I loved the building, loved the costumes and then walked around the gardens which being winter, weren’t flowering but saw the Sisi statue erected by her husband. ThankYOU Nicole for bringing this to life”
Review of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens tour, with skip-the-line entry, 22 rooms, expert guides, tips, value, and winter advice.
“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our guide Alex was today. We have taken many tours across Europe and this was by far the best one we have ever experienced. His tour bought the palace to life, it made it a totally unforgettable experience. Alex has so much knowledge about the Palace the family that built it and how the pieces fit in all over Europe, this encompassed some of the places we had been too. If you take this tour and are lucky enough to get Alex as your guide you are in for an absolute treat!”

Review of Vienna Time Travel, a fun one-hour history tour with 5D effects, VR music, imperial figures, and practical visitor tips.
“Our "guide" was very kind and friendly. Although the group size was a bit large, it was well handled. We were in with a group of very well-behaved and intelligent young teenagers and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and also seeing how much they enjoyed it too! The initial experience that had us experiencing the "black plague" in Vienna was, truly, unforgettable. We also enjoyed the animated figures to learn--very quickly--why the Hapsbergs were so important to not only Vienna but the region. It also helped us later realize why so many homes and buildings are that beautiful--I'll call it--Viennese ochre colour. Gorgeous.”
