Before you go
This tour runs for 2 hours with multiple daily departure times available, booked by selecting a date and time. Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled start, as latecomers are not eligible for a refund. Check your phone and email for live updates before the tour. Headsets are provided only if the group reaches 18 or more people, up to a maximum of 25 participants, and commentary is given in one selected language only. The tour is not suitable for individuals with disabilities, and there is no storage for luggage, bags or extra clothing; pets are not allowed. Gardens are not green or lit during winter, so a morning tour is recommended in that season, and the itinerary may be altered in extreme weather such as heavy snow for guest safety. From 8 November to 31 December, a visit to a local Christmas Market is offered instead. Only the standard rate option is bookable. Please note the Sisi Museum is temporarily closed for renovation. Current pricing is available at checkout.
