The best experience ever!! Formidable place, simply amazing and beautiful with an interesting history. Our guide Julia was the most warm and dedicated person. Her positive energy was contagious. We laugh with her, we found out a lot of informations from her about palace’s history, and thanks to her, the visit was beyond our expectations.

Our guide Eddie was fantastic! We loved getting not just a history of the building but of the Hapsburg family as well. He was very knowledgeable and kind enough to answer any and all questions we had. He even spent time after the tour talking with my husband and I about the country of Austria and a lot of differences between life here and life in the US. Thank you Eddie!

Michael S. gave us a spectacular tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, had some great personal stories, and knew more information than even Google at some portions. Super easy to find the green umbrella meeting spot, and tour group was a great size. Great value for your money. You 100% should get a tour guide for Schönbrunn, and we couldn't have been any happier.
