    Perfect tour (and tour guide) for true history lovers
    Justin_L, May 2024
    Exceptional. If you’re truly into the details of Habsburg/Viennese history (*and not just wanting a quick run-through of basic highlights), this is the guided tour for you. Well worth the higher cost and extended time. Our English tour guide, Ute (a certified Vienna tour professional), was fabulous - and funny - and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her as she guided us around the palace, the treasury, Sisi museum, imperial apartments, and all of Hofburg’s many noteworthy sights and anecdotal stories.
    Great guide entertaining and informative
    CARLOS_M, Jan 2024
    Barbara is a great guide. We covered a lot, from the Hofburg palace, Sisi rooms and museum and specially Imperial Treasry. Learned a lot about the history of Austria and the Habsburg family. Also gave us great pointers on our walk of the old town all the way to the Cathedral.
    100% recommended
    NICOLAEDANIEL_R, Dec 2023
    A very complex tour and full of a lot of well-documented information from the Ute guide. I recommend 100%.
    Important sights to see
    TARYN_w, Aug 2023
    Seeing the Hofburg palace and the Silver Treasures was very cool and enlightening! Our tour guide was very informative and friendly!
    Excellent experience
    Scott_S, Jul 2023
    Amazing tour and we learned a lot. So much better than an audio tour with great historical facts and funny stories.
    Great guide
    Lisa_C, Jul 2023
    Gennaro was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Loved the experience. We learned a lot. Kids favorite tour!
    Our tour guide (Samie)...
    Rodney_P, Jul 2023
    Our tour guide (Samie) was great. She tailored the tour to our interests and she was able to navigate the crowds to get us in front of the exhibits.
    Great tour!
    James_A, May 2023
    Seeing these places with a private guide just for my family was great. I believe you learn more and have a better experience with a guide.
    Wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend!
    Claudia_B, Jan 2023
    Loved this tour. Our guide, Ute, was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to bring history to life for us. It was also great to skip the long lines at the several palaces/buildings that we visited.
    This tour is a must in Vienna!
    Ann_C, Nov 2022
    Great tour and our guide was amazing! Robert was just so nice and knowledgeable and it was well worth it to have a private tour. He took time to explain everything and answer all of our questions. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vienna.
    Wonderful experience
    guylety, Nov 2022
    Robert did such a great job explaining what we were seeing during our excursion. His wonderful sense of humor made it so enjoyable.
    Unfortunately, the tour...
    Nancy_L, Sep 2022
    Unfortunately, the tour went so fast there was no time to look, savor and enjoy the beautiful artifacts. My tour was not the full length; we did not visit the Imperial jewels or other stops. The museum/palace was not busy and would have been easy to tour alone without a guide. My guide was,however, friendly, warm and knew history.
    Hofburg Palace
    Ashley_P, Aug 2022
    Palace was amazing and the guide was very knowledgeable and thorough! Really enjoyed the private tour!
    Excellent tour
    Mahitha_R, May 2022
    We had a wonderful tour with our personal guide who was so pleasant & knowledgeable. We were able to see everything in a very relaxed manner & learnt a lot of Austrian history.

    Ute was a very good guide: smart, friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic. She was a pleasure, and we highly recommend her.
    Muy instructivo
    z6qsjm59gp, Mar 2024
    El guía turístico estuvo muy buena. El precio un poco alto. La experiencia muy lindo, nos encanto la historia de Sisi
    Desastre absoluto
    Arturo_A, Dec 2023
    La visita ha sido una estafa. 511 euros para 4 pax y 1 niño. Estaba incluida (y pagada!!) la Colección de Plata que...lque resulta cerrada desde Primavera!! Y la visita a Hofburg no fue tal sino un paseo por la calle de 10 mins. Un desastre...no más Viator
    Deslumbrante
    MARIO_A, Sep 2023

    Marcelo_A, May 2023
