    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.

  • Gear up for an exciting city tour of the scintillating city of Vienna. Begin your tour at Operngasse 8 and head towards the Ringstrasse Boulevard. From here you will pass by many popular landmarks. Start by taking a look at the stunning Vienna State Opera, home to the famous Opera Ball which takes place every year. Next up is the Hofburg Palace, not too far from the Opera. This impressive structure was the former residence of the imperial family during winters and well worth a visit.

    Next on your itinerary is the Museum of Art History and the Museum of Natural History. Take your time discovering the unique collections preserved over many centuries. After this, you will head to the Neoclassical Parliament, the iconic Burgtheater, and the City Hall.

    Guided tour of Schloss Schönbrunn

    Skip the line at Schönbrunn Palace and head right in to begin your guided tour. Schönbrunn Palace is one of Austria’s most famous attractions and a World Heritage Site. Every year millions of tourists gather to visit this stunning palace so you’ll be happy that you don’t have to wait in line. Explore the many historic state rooms inside the palace and discover how the imperial family used to live. Once you’ve explored the palace, step into the serene palace gardens outside as you sip on original Viennese coffee and some scrumptious apple strudel.

    At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to Vienna State Opera.
