Гид с хорошим чувством юмора, молодец! Тур хорош, но было указано Хофбург+сады+Сиси На деле можно сказать всё было про Сиси, потом магазин сувениров и на выход, мы ожидали прогулку по садам, экскурсию.. но ничего такого. А от рассказ про Сиси 2 часа на ногах мы устали, нет гардеробы где можно было оставить хотя бы куртку и вещи, зимой не удобно…

Robert was such a fantastic guide. He made sure everyone could hear him and engaged with his audience, with excellent knowledge, enthusiasm, explanations and humour. You came away fully immersed in the period, so thought provoking. Highly recommended - thank you Robert!

Excellent tourguide in Robert. Knew many a things about the two museams, and the Hofburgs once residents. Was willing to tell both sides of the story, rather than just the fairytale image, one normally has with late 19th, early 20th century European monarchies. Just a shame how busy the museum gets, as in it's like a sardine can. Albeit that's on poor management on the Museam's behalf
