Le tour était très bien expliqué par notre guide (Gabi) qui était passionnée par ce beau château qu'est Schönbrunn et la riche histoire qu'il renferme. Un grand merci à elle 🤗
Quando le persone fanno la differenza! un grazie speciale a Mr. Reginald per aver reso la nostra visita al castello di Schonbrunn estremamente interessante. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la sua passione e la sua competenza nel raccontarci la storia. Una visita che consigliamo con l’augurio che possa capitare anche a voi un narratore così appassionato. Anto è Già (Roma).
Excellent tour, our guide Alex was knowledgeable and funny! Suggestion: I know the schedule is tight, but it would be nice if once in a while there would be some time for asking questions to the guide. Thanks!
Great
Ghida este foarte bine informata si nu iti dai seama cat de repede trece timpul. Doar ca te cam dor picioarele la final :)))
la guide maîtrisait parfaitement son sujet, le château n'était pas pleins et donc permettait de vraiment pouvoir admirer les pièces. Et la timing bien respecté pour ne pas rater la fermeture de la boutique, merci pour cette visite
Very disappointed with this visit. We thought we would visit the entire castle, but we only got to see a few rooms. Fortunately, the guide's commentary was interesting. Then we had a 20-minute break. What was the point? The information about the garden was useless. We didn't even go up to the gazebo, even though it was on the program. Considering the price (€275 for five people), I wouldn't recommend it.
A very interesting castle to visit, but the experience was somewhat spoiled by our guide: she was unsmiling, patronizing, even unpleasant, and repeated herself a lot. There was a half-hour introduction at the beginning in a hallway that was noisy because her colleague was guiding another group. We didn't see any of the gardens, probably because of the heat. The guide knew her subject well, though, and in the end the tour wasn't that bad. I think I got more out of my visit with the guide than I would have with an audio guide.
Lucas was a great story teller. Just fantastic!
