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.

The guide was very nice and we learned a lot about both the palace and the paintings we saw. Only downside was having to wait outside in line for 15-20 minutes to get in the palace exhibition halls.

The palace is amazing. The guide was amazing too. She shared so much information about the palace, the owner, and also about the paintings and the historic, social and artistic context that they were made in. Very engaging too.
