Tour of the museum was very nice, tour guide was professional and shared good/important facts not only about the place/grounds but also about its history and the paintings in the museum themselves, tour lasted about 1 1/2 hours and would have been nice if it was a bit longer. Would recommend it to first time visitors.

Alessandra is an exceptional tour guide; she really conveys her love for art. She’s very young, empathetic, brilliant, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend her—we loved the Belvedere. Thank you, Alessandra!

Tour is a great option if you would like to understand a bit of how art was developed throghout the years, what where the artists trying to say. I'm not a great connoisseur of art history so it was very insightful. Martina our guide was great, she was very energetic and kind.

Really enjoyed the insights provided by our guide. So much to take in but the highlights she presented to us in a succinct and easily understood style made the visit just perfect. The section on Klimt was first class, her panoramic picture tip an added "extra" and her suggestion to walk down through the gardens to the city rounded off a visit beyond expectation.

The guide, I think his name was Marco (barrouque) was particularly good. He imparted a lot of art history in an interesting way and then tied together the various rooms. His pace was wonderful as is his humor. Really enjoyed the tour

I really enjoyed the visit and the guide we had was amazing. Everything he explained was so interesting and it was obvious that he is so pationate about what he was explaining about Belvedere. I would totally repeat the visit and recommend it. To my friends and family if they ever visit Wien.
