I have to say that I have rarely had such a good and, above all, competent tour guide. We were very impressed as a family!

It was impressive what the guide knew. You could tell that history was his thing. It wasn't memorized history, he knows the history of the castle very well. Everything was great, we would book again.

Very nice tour of the castle with a friendly, courteous guide. We were able to visit 22 rooms and learn all kinds of new information. Afterwards we had enough time to explore the park. Gladly again

Our Guide-Edie- was excellent! Extremely knowledgeable, brimming with enthusiasm to pass on his historical knowledge of Vienna, the culture of the people and society, and the opulence of Sisi and Schönbrunn Palace.

I chose an "English" tour, but the tour was actually conducted in both English and Spanish. I found this distracting, and limited the amount of information the guide could provide. I discussed this with him and asked if two language groups had been combined because neither group was "full", and he said, no, that it is normal for tours to be conducted in both languages. If this is the case, it should be clearly stated in the promotional information. I feel like I got half the tour I paid for.

Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The headsets worked well to ensure we heard her commentary. Very interesting.
Katty
Jun 2025Verified booking
To be honest I think visiting Schonbrunn without a guide would be the better choice. The time spent inside and the number of rooms shown took nearly 2,5 hours. Afterwards we spent only half an hour in the gardens. You can easily visit the gardens on your own, but if both inside and outside tour are combined, it would be much better to have a half hour break between the two.

Jun 2025Verified booking
The degree of knowledge the guide has was appreciated. The actual "expereince" left something to be desired. Meet at 2:15, 20 minutes later the guide goes to get the group ticket. By 2:50 the group is outside the main entrance to the palace. Our entry time is 3:13, by now an hour into the tour and we have not set foot in the palace. The hour long tour was ok, very informative. We emerged for a further 25 minute wait outside before heading to the gardens (which are free to enter by the way). Could not recommend this tour, a DIY version with audio commentary would be preferable

It is not what we expected because it is actually sponsored as Princess Sissi's summer palace but there is no mention of Sissi at all.

The palace and also the gardens is beautiful, Alexandra the guide was awesome very enthuziastic and it was a pleasure to listen her. The only remark is that there can be visitied only 5 rooms which is not enough, the tour in the Palace is only 1.5 hour. My expectation was to stay 4-5 hours in the Palace.

I was expecting to be able to board a bus straight away when I bought online. That wasn't clear to me when I made the purchase. Only after booking did I receive the information that I had to travel to a certain stop to redeem the ticket first. I hadn't planned for that. In addition, as a group of 11 people, we deliberately didn't get off the bus because we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to get back on together at an intermediate stop because the buses were so full and only a few people got off at a time. It would be better if you knew in advance that you would get a seat. For example, if you can reserve seats or similar.

You can get around Vienna, but the buses don't always run as frequently as indicated. Instead of every 20 minutes, the bus should come every hour. So you can't really plan your tour effectively.

It's a great way of getting around and seeing the sights of Vienna. Operator needs to do more to control queue's onto Bus. We were the first to get on but people snuck in the back entrance of bus and we were left without seats a few times and got told we had to wait for next bus.

The bus ride in the morning was relaxed and informative. Unfortunately, the bus was so full in the afternoon that we had to sit downstairs in the luggage compartment. Unfortunately, there was no tape recorder, so we drove through a few stops without any information. It was also very stuffy and warm in the bus downstairs.

You get a loose overview of the city, but the information is very brief, not very meaningful and general. For the price, the question arises as to whether one should not travel directly to visitor destinations by public transport.

The bus was foggy inside. At times there was so much moisture on the windows inside that it was hard to see. It got better on the next bus. On one of the busses there was just music and no audio-guide for about 15 minutes. Some of the passengers got the personell to restart the system. Then it worked. The routes were nice and it was good to have roof, since it rained a lot.

Good information via the headsets; hop-on hop-off is great. The only drawback was that the windows at the top of the blue bus could not be adjusted and were completely open for a long time despite the windy and changeable weather. It was sometimes really cold.

The tour is very well done and the stages are interesting but access to the starting point is not clear. When I clicked on the link to the starting point, I was connected to Google maps, but the address was not correct for the bus stop. It wasn't on the right street. And upstream, it didn't say that we couldn't start the tour at any point.

Very good audio guide 1st bus: jolts that make you sick( blue line) Long waits at stops. I prefer the red line. 2h: too long Having taken a 2-day pass, we only used it for one day, as it was better to do EVERYTHING on foot. Too many similarities between the 2 lines...for the center.

We did the blue tour first. Unfortunately we were unlucky with the weather, it was raining so the windows in the upper part were very steamed up on the inside and wet on the outside and we couldn't see very well. The audio guide was not at the same time as the sights, i.e. we were already past when the sights were described. We had expected more information, it was very dry. On the red tour the seats upstairs were mostly wet. The heating was very warm.

I found this "conversation" between the fictional characters ("And what do you think, Jana...?") rather suboptimal. I would have preferred a pure, clear statement of fact ("On the left you can see the opera house, built by X in year Y..."). And WITHOUT music!

As instructed. we arrived 15 minutes early to commence the tour at 11am. Once the tour guide collected the entry tickets, we finally entered the Upper Belvedere Palce to commence the guided tour of the art gallery at 11.45am. The tour guide was very quietly spoken and at times difficult to hear Very dissapointing content Poor value for money

Exceptional! Guided tour to the Upper Belvedere - Vienna We quickly found our guide, Otilia, who turned out to be a knowledgeable, kind and very helpful professional. She took us with great passion through the halls of the museum, making us dwell on some particularly significant works and carefully describing them, even dwelling on details that we probably would have ignored on our own. A truly enjoyable and interesting experience, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to visit the Belvedere with a knowledgeable and passionate guide.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour at the Hofburg Vienna, and it was an exceptional experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and architecture of this magnificent palace. They brought the stories of the Habsburg dynasty to life with fascinating anecdotes and detailed explanations. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to fully appreciate the grandeur of the imperial apartments, the stunning collections in the museums, and the beautiful gardens. Our guide was also very attentive, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Vienna. It’s a fantastic way to delve into the rich history of the city and gain a deeper understanding of its cultural heritage. Five stars!

The guide was competent and friendly. Unfortunately, it was so crowded that you couldn't really see everything, e.g. the chronological order of the Sisi paintings. What a pity! In addition, not all rooms were open to visitors due to the construction work. Mmh, some information would have been fair. For a bit more Hofburg flair, I visited the library, which cost me another entrance fee.

The tour by our guide was great. The museum itself was an imposition. The organization seems to be designed for maximum profit. Far too cramped, far too full. It would be better to organize it in such a way that guided tours are allowed in at certain times, and private visitors are also allowed in at other times. MfG Hoffmann

Although the tickets in the app said they could be used directly at the Belvedere Palace, at the entrance the tickets were not recognized. The digital tickets (available on the App) clearly said that it was not necessary to exchange them for physical tickets, as the digital tickets were accepted. After 30 minutes of phone calls to various locations by Belvedere Palace staff and receiving proof that we had paid for the tickets, we were allowed to visit the Palace.

I contacted support and asked for a prorated refund for the amount associated with the Schonbrunn Palace tour and even had a Schonbrunn Palace representative speak with Headout support to confirm the denial of my entry. Headout said they needed written confirmation from the venue that my entry was indeed denied.

The boat trip to Dürnstein was very nice! We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the sun on the upper deck. What we liked less: The dinner that was offered in buffet form was stormed. Unfortunately, some guests had no manners and pushed their way to the 3rd - 4th meal, with the other guests lining up from the buffet to the other end of the dining deck. We lost our appetite at the sight!
