The meeting instructions were not very clear as the water fountain was blocked off by Easter fayre cabins and there were dozens of green umbrellas, however, we did find our guide. Ali was a brilliant guide. She managed the multinational group superbly, was very well organised and knew her subjectin inside out. One of the best guides we've ever had. We fully recommend this tour.

Whilst billed as such this was no Palace of Versailles. I guess once you have seen the original this copy fell a bit short of expectations. There were not many rooms open, many that were were rather small for the numbers of visitors. With big groups (ours of 30) basically just blocking the way as guides competed for best spots. The gardens are now just a public park so were extremely crowded as free to enter with planting was sparse/bland. Go to the Wurzburg residence, much more impressive.

The guide was very knowledgeable and informative and the tour was well organised. Given the time of year the gardens were not very colourful but you could see how amazing they would be when in full bloom. The Palace itself was a little disappointing in how relatively small it was. Some additional displays showing dress of the time and some more displays of contents would have been good - but perhaps there were not any. Maybe the Hapsburgs took them with them when they left!

It wasn't made clear that you had to make your own way from the boat to the Palace which caused some problems for some elderly passengers who struggled with using the public transport. Once there the tour went smoothly and the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The palace itself is beyond impressive. You really need a few days to see it all. There is a little yellow bus tour which may be a good idea for people unable to walk long distances. You will be on your feet for many hours.

I was unprepared for getting to destination on my own but figured it out. TUI excursions web site needs to have a bolder way to distinguish the difference between fully escorted to and from ship vs self travel to destination.

Boy, am I glad I secured a skip-the-line guide tour! Not only did we have a wonderful tour guide - fun and knowledgable, but due to the Christmas market out front it was really busy and I never would have enjoyed the tour as much as I did. If you are in Vienna - be sure to indulge in this tour!

The experience was o.k, but there were many hold ups and not all the ground expected was covered. The guide didn't provide that much useful info, we got most of that from the info on the wall. Had not read that this required us to make our own way there.
