What a great and entertaining tour! Our guide Franz-Joseph (yes, that was his real name) knew how to answer so many questions, you could tell that he was putting his heart and soul into it. Really highly recommended and you should definitely do it if you are on a city trip to Vienna

The guide explained the history of the Hofburg and Sisi in a very clear and entertaining way. You had the feeling that you were being told an exciting, sometimes humorous story. You were all ears, without forgetting to look around in the various rooms of the Hofburg. in the Sisi Museum. Tour: highly recommended for all Sisi fans and those who will become one.

Very good, our guide was called Lisa, her story was refreshing and always made us laugh. She was a pleasure to listen to and was able to answer all questions. The tour in and of itself was also very interesting to immerse yourself in the world of Sisi.
