I’ve been on five tours so far, and I can confidently say that Michael S. is the best tour guide I’ve ever had. His passion and energy bring the stories of Schönbrunn to life in a way that’s truly captivating. He isn’t just reciting dull facts or rattling off history; he delivers each story with a theatrical flair, making it feel like you’re stepping right into the past. His storytelling skills are exceptional, keeping the tour engaging and entertaining from start to finish. If you’re looking for a guide who can make history exciting and memorable, Michael S. is the one to choose. This was far from the usual boring tour—it was an unforgettable experience!

The tour guide had to improvise a lot, sometimes not entirely serious anecdotes could not be distinguished from information. On the positive side, he made a recognizable attempt to give a comprehensible, individual classification of the historical events, but sometimes threw people around so quickly that it was almost impossible to follow. This was partly due to the fact that there was no time slot for the tour of the castle. Although we were asked at the beginning whether we wanted to go to the palace or the garden first, the decision in favor of the palace meant that we had to "squeeze in" and then on the one hand there was idle time and on the other hand rooms were spontaneously left out "Quote: There are too many people, we'll go to the Great Room first and do it later" - there was no later. The garden tour was then much more relaxed and very interesting

It was a good overall view of the palace if you dont have a lot of time (more then 3 hrs) to explore on your own. It wasnt a wow though, finding the tour was not easy (no clear signs of where to go) ans you reallt just see the basics of the palace and a portion of the gardens.

I train guides, he was alright but could be better, I found his insensitivity to other cultures or maybe its cultural thing or an issue with language. Joking is ok, but read your group before starting inappropriate remarks that may not be well received by members of your cultural diversified group. I shrugged it off most times but other times it upset me.

It was a wonderful excursion into a bygone era. Many thanks to our guide Franz, who led us through the castle and the garden with a lot of knowledge and Viennese charm. It is not nice that you are sometimes forced to hurry instead of lingering because of the many groups. Otherwise it was a successful excursion, many thanks for that

The guide Michael kind of rambled sometimes and was hard to understand with a heavy accent. Some of the topics he discussed were very interesting but some were kind of personal to him I think and could have been a better experience with less "color". Nice guy but started late and we were all standing in the sun waiting for others that were late, I don't believe that they ever showed.

I really enjoyed the zoo. The palace tour was nice but very crowded and could barely hear the tour guide even with the headsets due to the number of people being crammed into the rooms. Headout was nice to work with and we were able to reschedule part of our trip due to scheduling snafu very easily.

The zoo was amazing and we only had a flying visit. It was a shame the Pandas were not there but to see the polar bears, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, penguins and all manner of other animals. It was a great surprise having originally gone to see the Christmas markets at Schönbrunn Palace. Brilliant day out, thank you.

Historic zoo. Third visit for us. A fine collection of animals, but the cages aren't necessarily up to today's standards. And above all, a huge disappointment: the absence of the pandas, whose enclosure is under construction!

Nothing special. Having troubble seeing animals in the sense that they were nowhere to be seen. The path and the cages are not designed to see animals in their habitat. Except a few specimens where you can have an overview of the cage , the rest were hidden. It seemed that there were more giftshops and restaurants than animals to see. Overall it was ok but nothing special.

We were in Schönbrunn on November 2nd, the zoo was full to bursting as it was still the fall vacations and unfortunately almost none of the restaurants were open! Beer garden closed, stand near the penguins closed, dismantled, stand near the main entrance coming from the palace closed, cleaned up. There were only 2 stands open, 1 pretzel stand and 1 stand where crowds of people were queuing. Or you could go to the restaurant. We then went to the Tiroler Haus restaurant, very unfriendly, prices horrendous and nothing on the plate. I'm not surprised why the families bring everything themselves. And as an Austrian, you are actually 2nd class, they only look at foreigners. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, a lot of the attractions were closed due to renovation work and we will definitely be back next year.

The music was great! The venue was awesome! The singers were outstanding! There are no photos from the concert since taking pictures or video is not allowed during the performance. We had great time and would definetely go again if in Vienna. Pictures of hall were taken during the antract. In addition, we were in Vienna in late November so the Christmas market at Schonbrunn Palace was a pleasure to the soul. Some pictures attached are from the market. Tips: We book the seats in cathegory A and it was definitely worth it. There was a recomendation on the ticket to arrive 15 min before the performance to avoid the delays. We arrived 45 min before since we were using public transportation and didnt want to be late. It was a great bonus for us. Your ticket comes with category for seating but not the reserved seats. Cathegory A was seats from the row 3 to 7 or 8. Since we were almost the first ones to enter the concert hall, we were able to reserve the seats in row 3 in the center.

The access to public transport was excellent. We used the trams and underground to get around. Because the weather was good we didn't visit many museums, but those we did gave us a discount without any problems
Monica

Being able to get on and off subways and buses at will. The reductions due to age proved to be more attractive than the reduction offered by City Card

Our Vienna trip was nothing less than spectacular. The 72 hour public transport pass we bought was easy to order and easy to use.
Georgette
Oct 2024Verified booking
We enjoyed being able to have the extra freedom to explore Vienna using available public transport. We weren't sure if we were required to tap on and off buses, trams and trains so assumed we could simply show our passes to a conductor upon request. Instructions regarding this could have been provided following our online purchase. Overall, a good experience.

The ticket is very user-unfriendly and it would be advisable to optimize the whole thing in terms of ergonomics and usability. Redeeming the so-called discounts is completely opaque. It would also be helpful to point out that the ticket is hardly worthwhile for older people (65 and over), as the age-related discount is more attractive at many museums.

L'esperienza è stata accettabile ma c'erano pochi sconti rispetto ad altre card di altre città europee, inoltre abbiamo pagato l'audio guida ma non era funzionante. Ci piacerebbe ricevere almeno il rimborso per le audio guide.

I could have got a much cheaper ticket which gave me the same amount of travel. I did not want or need the extras. The categories above do not fit with this type of ticket.

Using the card is very convenient, but I was surprised by the fact that I bought the card online and could not download it to my phone. It was good that we were able to find an info office to get a paper card! Once the card was received, there were no problems! I use it both in public transport and in museums!
