See Vienna by coach, then skip the queues at Schönbrunn Palace with a multilingual guide in this useful 3.5-hour introduction to Austria’s capital.

“The only issue was the meeting point. There are two fountains at the Opera-house and it would be good to be more specific as the addresses are not always easy to read. The tour was just enough to see the gardens on our own and the State rooms. It is always difficult trying to prioritize sights on a short trip but this was ideal for what we had planned. Our guide (Tomas?) was very good at herding the group and kept the trip out and back really interesting with the sights he pointed out. Answered lots of questions and a very calm manner. Driver was very good too. A great…”

Tour Vienna’s Ringstrasse sights, then skip the queue for a guided Schönbrunn Palace visit with free garden time.

“The sites of the tour itself were well worth the visit although to properly visit the Palace requires a minimum of half a day, given its size (including the gardens). Our tour was mixed Spanish and English speaking, which we felt meant that we only got part of the information that would have been shared on purely english speaking tour. This was only a minor point, but when you are driving past points of interest, timing of the information sharing is important, and this cannot be achieved if the guide has to repeat the information in another language. So in the end someone misses out. The guide was knowledgable but…”

“A crowded tour! The Schonbrunn tour is worth doing if you are in Vienna! It is possible that you should do it without a guide, considering the large number of visitors! I know that the emphasis of this review will be on the crowds, but this is not my first time in Vienna and not my first time visiting Schonbrunn. We decided to do this tour with a guide for children. Unfortunately, it is very crowded in the castle during Christmas. I think it is always crowded, but during Christmas it was very, very crowded. You have to take this into account if you have small children! Our family did…”
