Before you go
This experience departs from Vienna and runs for 2 hours, with numerous time slots available throughout the day. Booking is by date and time, and travellers should arrive 10 minutes early, since latecomers cannot get a refund. Check your phone and email for live updates before the tour. Commentary is provided in one selected language only, and the tour is not suitable for individuals with disabilities. There is no luggage storage for bags or extra clothing, and pets are not allowed. Headsets are provided only when the group reaches 18 or more people, with a maximum of 25 participants. The gardens are not green or lit in winter, so a morning tour is recommended during that season. For guest safety, the itinerary may be altered in cases of extreme weather such as heavy snow. From 8 November to 31 December, a local Christmas Market visit may be offered instead. Pricing is available at booking, and the standard rate applies.
