''Wow what an experience. The tour was so much more than we expected. A truly magical experience with our tour guide. She showed us all the most important palace rooms and explained the history and culture of Vienna so well. We felt a part of this small guide of 25 people. We then were allowed to look around the palace gardens and explore the snow and the zoo at our leisure. Thanks again. I'm sure we'll be back 🇦🇹''  Ross, Nov.2025  >> See More Reviews
