“This was my second visit to Schonbrunn and this experience with a knowledgeable guide was so worthwhile and enjoyable. Our guide Eddie added colour and texture to what I remember experiencing the first time I went through the palace with just the recorded audio guide. Bonus points for Eddie offering us recommendations on places to eat and things to do during the rest of our time in Vienna. Thank you, Eddie!”

“Biljana was one of the top guides we’ve experienced in over 40 years of international travel. Thorough knowledge of palace history and players with some royal gossip along the way. Schönbrunn’s interiors are both breathtaking and memorable—as are the vast and manicured grounds. A stop at the cafe in the way out was the perfect end to a great half-day tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 15 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $163

A practical review of Schönbrunn’s private garden and palace tour, with Gloriette views, guide tips, ticket warnings, and value advice.

“Maria is a great guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We received no skip the line passes, not Maria’s fault I guess. The gardens are free so you don’t need a guide at all. Ever! Didn’t get to see the inside of the palace because we didn’t have skip the lines tickets. Not well explained nor realistic.”
