Highly recommend

Melvyn_B, Mar 2026
The whole event amazing - great to see the palace without the crowds - relaxed tour - stunning palace. The musical event in the palace was magical - a combination of Mozart and Strauss played by excellent musicians in a stunning setting. Well organised and well worth the £ highly recommend.

Was Okay 👍

Caroline_G, Dec 2025
For the tour expected some more. Just a walk through to various rooms. Thought we could grasp maybe re of the palace.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!🤗

Matthew_L, Dec 2025
Wonderful experience, the after-hours tour was fantastic as there were only about 20 of us in the entire palace. And the concert afterwards made for a magical evening.

Schonbrunn after hours palace tour and orchestral concert.

Charmaine_D, Sep 2025
Collection Point for tickets is in the palace not out near the street. Don't rely on staff to give correct directions!! Wise also to check if there is an event on in the grounds, just re. building and setup works etc. You don't need 30 minutes from voucher validation to start of tour. suggest arriving much earlier e.g., 4.30 or 5.00, checking voucher, then going to gardens and a cafe/restaurant, returning by 6.50 pm. Audio guide is clear and enough. Note it has no lanyard so you might bring your own and remove before returning the device, if you need hands free e.g., for taking photos. Be aware it is quite a long walk from palace to the orangerie for the concert. Be prepared e.g., for rain etc.. also, if you are VIP, you can get your drink at half time so no stress about having it before the concert. VIPs get choice of seating but if you delay in the foyer with your drink, you might not get your seating preference. You can purchase snacks if you have missed dinner etc. Seats numbers are not allocated. The concert is exceptional and featured Mozart and Strauss when we attended. There is a small souvenir sales point. Taxis are ready when you come out of the concert about 10 to 10.15 pm. There are good bathroom facilities in the orangerie complex.

Thank you so much for your feedback concerning the palace tour and concert. We hope to welcome you soon again at the Schönbrunn Orangery 🥰

Wonderful way to experience

ElleKay, Aug 2025
Informative audio tour, friendly guides available for any questions, absolutely wonderful way to see Shönbrunn palace without the crowds and with a fabulous classical concert to conclude the experience. The conductor interacted with the audience which was a fun addition!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you! Great that you liked the exclusive tour and also the classical concert at the Schönbrunn Palace Orangery 🥰

Enjoyable evening

Jessica_O, Nov 2024
Touring the palace after hours with a small group was nice. The tour is with an audio guide and is only 30minutes but tits is what I prefer. The musicians were outstanding. We really enjoyed the music. There is some opera singing as well the female singer was tremendous. There is a bit of waiting around before and after the tour that could be shortened but overall I would do it again.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your comment & recommendation! We hope to welcome you again soon at the Schönbrunn Orangery!✨

Nice evening

Margaret_B, Sep 2024
It was nice to get to tour the palace after hours as a small group. The tour is entirely self-directed and you listen to a recording as you go through each room. It takes about 30 minutes. The concert that followed was very good with orchestra playing and a few operatic numbers by male and female artists. The orchestra takes place in a fairly small hall and it is not necessary to buy the premium seats to both see and hear everything.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our exclusive after-hours palace tour and it's great to hear that the concert met your expectations and you enjoyed your evening at Schönbrunn!✨ Greetings from Vienna!

Tour and Concert at Schonbrun

Manny_U, Sep 2024
Going through the Schonbrun on a private tour is fantastic, without crowds. The concert was also great with many pieces from Mozart and J. Strauss.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Manny, thank you so much for these 5 stars, we are so happy, that you had a great evening at our concerts. Bets regards from Vienna!

Thank you for your amazing comment on our package "after hour palace tour & concert" 🙌 Many greetings from the Schönbrunn Orangery!

Imperial tour and concert

Charles_O, Jun 2024
The tour after hours of the palace with few people much appreciated. The acoustic of the ballroom for the concert unexpectedly good and enjoyed the music. Some concert goers proved ill-disciplined despite being requested not to use cameras during the performance.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you, we are happy you enjoyed your package "After-hour palace tour & concert". We are sorry for the inconvenience about the cameras! Greetings from the Schönbrunn Orangery!

Palace and Music

Ariane_C, May 2024
My sister and I had dinner at the Schonbrunner Stockl and walked over to the meeting spot before 7pm. Our guide was friendly and chatted with us as others arrived. We were given our headset device and then escorted through the palace. Since this was after visiting hours, it was quiet and not crowded. I felt we had plenty of time to listen to the narrative and enjoy the sights within the palace. Once everyone was done with the tour, we were escorted to the Orangerie for the concert. The room had a comfortable elegance and the performance of the musicians and the opera singers were amazing.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for your amazing review, great to hear that you enjoyed our package including the after-hour palace tour and our classical concert at Schönbrunn Orangery! Thanks for appreciating the quality of our products! Greetings from Schönbrunn 🎵

Sami_H, Dec 2023
The exclusive tour of the palace was great. It was so cool to get to explore the palace when it wasn't super busy. The classical concert was also fun, but palace tour was definitely the highlight for me. Wish they could include food or snacks in this experience because it's during dinner time.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for writing a review! Great that you enjoyed our Package with an exclusive palace tour and concert. Maybe next time you can choose our package "Palace tour, dinner and concert" if you want to eat in a nice traditional restaurant inbetween. Greetings from the Orangery Schönbrunn!

Awful experience waste of time and money

Beckey_W, Jan 2023
Really awful experience. The tour of the palace was only a few rooms and was rushed. The tour started 30 minutes late. We were then made to wait in the cold for 2.5 hours before the concert started. We did not bother with the concert in the end. Not worth the time or money!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Becky, Thank you for your feedback on our Schönbrunn Palace concerts. The Palace Tour includes 24 rooms and is the highlight tour of the Palace. The audio guide lasts about 40 minutes and there is no time limit on how long you can stay in a room. We always communicate that the "tour and concert" package has a gap between the tour and the beginning of the concert. May I ask where you booked so that we can put more emphasis on this information. Please send it to heather.chang@imagevienna.com We are sorry that you missed the concert, which is one of the highlights of the program. best regards

We were emailed that the event was overbooked.

John_B, Jan 2023
We received an email a day prior that the event was overbooked and that we could attend a portion of the original synopsis, but not all. When I replied to say we would not appreciate a partial experience and a refund was requested the reply was to take up the situation with Viator, not the vendor to which I was communicating. I have not heard back with a definitive outcome but am happy for the auto-reply to say they are looking into my refund. I use Viator in all my travels and am optimistic a refund is merited. We were able to replace this block of time with an alternate more expensive Viator experience that was wonderful, so it all worked out less the money we are out of to date that will ultimately go back to Viator anyway. To be continued lol

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear John_B, After checking with the team I can hereby confirm that unfortunately we are not allowed to cancel the booking but Viator can. As soon as Viator contacts us, we can take care of your request. we are sorry for the inconvenience Best regards

Had guided tour

Roxana_W, Dec 2022
This is after opening hours tour, no one at the information center and the lady from the shop did not know where to go for my tour. The guides with the tour came unprepared, without English broshoure, and did not tell what to do (wifi and browse the site) until I asked. After the tour everyone go after the guides, and go and go, until the concert hall I asked where we are going and one of them say until the Diner. But I did not have a Diner revervation.... I had to turn back to the Schanbbrunn Palace (Christmas market) since the Concert hall was closed...

Schonbrunn audio tour and concert

Patricia_B, Aug 2019
The tour was very interesting and the concert was fantastic. The only downside was that when we arrived at 2.00pm we were told our slot for the tour wasn't until 5.40. There was nothing prior to this to suggest that the tour was run on time slots and it left us with a lot of free time which given the weather conditions wasn't ideal

Dag schloss schönbrün

Wendy_V, Oct 2024
We hebben heel de dag doorgebracht bij schloss schönbrün. Daar in de buurt gegeten en om half 7 mochten we naar binnen voor de audiotour . We hebben heel veel kamers gezien en wat zijn we onder de indruk hoe mooi het is . Wat een schitterend gebouw is het . Aansluitend het schönbrün concert gehad . Het is een perfecte afsluiting van een dag aan schloss schönbrün .

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your day at Schönbrunn Palace! Greetings from Vienna ✨

Ein Höhepunkt unseres Wienbesuches

Christina_H, May 2024
Zuerst nahmen wir an der Führung durch das Schloss Schönbrunn teil. Wir wurden durch die schönen Räume geführt. Danach begann das Konzert in der Orangerie. Es war ein wunderbares Erlebnis und ein Höhepunkt unseres Wienbesuches.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass unser Konzert ein Wien-Highlight für Sie war ✨Bis zum nächsten Mal & Liebe Grüße aus der Orangerie Schönbrunn!

La visita al castello...

GIANLUCA_P, Mar 2023
La visita al castello doveva essere una visita guidata ma è durata 35 minuti senza una guida reale ma con le audioguide. Il nostro pacchetto non prevedeva cena (senza saperlo) quindi siamo stati due ore in attesa del concerto al freddo e senza poter mangiare perchè il quartiere è deserto. La cena dovrebbe sempre essere prevista o almeno bisognerebbe specificare che ci sono due ore in cui chi non ha la cena deve organizzarsi in anticipo.

La primera parte es un...

Marialuisa_M, Dec 2022
La primera parte es un poco pesada,mozart, y la segunda de Strauss buenisima parecía el concierto de año nuevo,la orquesta y los cantantes muy buenos.

Tours Très culturelle et historique qui vaut la peine de faire même si un peu cher !

Richard_P, Nov 2022
La beauté du site et les infos historiques nous ont beaucoup plus! Beaucoup d’informations pertinentes qui donnent une aperçue de la vie des souverains de l’époque!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear Richard, thank you so mus for your excellent feedback on our Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts! We are glad that you have learned a lot about the history and the life of the sovereigns at that time! best regards!
