“Compré la actividad por los dos días que estaríamos en Viena 31 de diciembre y 01 de enero, sin embargo, el primer día al momento de canjear los tickets y las entradas nos indicaron que Schonbrunn estaba sobrevendido, no entiendo entonces cómo nos vendieron la entrada, se supone que deberían tener tickets disponibles en base a la compra realizada que hice el 13 de noviembre. El autobus estuvo bien, había uno cada 20 minutos aproximadamente desde las 9:30 am hasta las 6 pm. La entrada a Belvedere sí la utilizamos, en su tiempo fue un palacio y ahora es museo de arte.”
Gustav Klimt’s final studio, Klimt Lost restitution exhibit, and restored garden roses at the Klimt Villa, with a smartphone guide.
“Die junge Dame an der Kasse hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen :) Das Museum war schon interessant für Klimt Fans, aber etwas kleiner als gedacht. Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis wäre gut gewesen, wenn man den Audioguide mit dem Ticket zusätzlich bekommen hätte.”

Skip the line at Vienna’s Belvedere Palace, see Klimt’s The Kiss, and tour gardens with a guide in 2 hours.
“Our guide was lovely and so knowledgeable. Cost reasonable. Meeting spot was very clear and easy to meet up with our group. The garden was beautiful, even in later October and worth a walk around the grounds. The palace itself was absolutely gorgeous with its red marble and frescos. Our guide led us through the rooms highlighting the art with stories and history, making it a truly fascinating tour. I highly recommend going back through the rooms to appreciate and read about the many more art pieces on display after the tour since our guide could naturally only hit the most famous and unique pieces in the time we were…”

“The combo package is a great value and expedites planning, but it's not the best On/Off Bus we've experienced. We always book on/off buses in our extensive travels. It helps acclimate us to the area and choose what is important to us to visit. In Vienna, they're efficient with timely drop off and pick up intervals, but the audio guide isn't helpful and the areas aren't clear. The Old Town (always our favorite in European cities) was not mentioned, not well marked or clear. Perhaps because Vienna is such a a big city and everything far away from the other, but the tour left us unimpressed with Vienna. It wasn't…”

“Julia was amazing. My husband who has less interest in art was as fascinated as I was and we referred to things Julia told us as we visited other places in Vienna. She guided us through the Belvedere and built a story starting with the middle ages all the way to Klimt, she wove a thread connecting many of the works of art. I was as impressed with her knowledge and passion about art and history as I was with the actual paintings. I was hesitant to buy a tour so pricey as this but it was well worth the money spent.”

“Julia was a really knowledgeable expert on art history and provided us with a stimulating and provocative insight into the evolution of art, Klimt and The Kiss. I'm no art history expert but learnt a lot from this tour. If you're looking for intellectual stimulation and the story behind the picture, look no further.”

“Our visit to Belvedere Palace and Museum was transformed into an unforgettable experience thanks to our exceptional guide, Peter. His profound knowledge of art history truly elevated our understanding of every masterpiece we encountered. He particularly shone when discussing the iconic 'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt, offering fascinating insights about the painting's symbolism, technique, and historical context that we would have missed on our own. What impressed us most was Peter's ability to make art history accessible and engaging. He shared intriguing facts and stories that brought each artwork to life, making complex artistic concepts easy to understand for both novices and art enthusiasts....”
