Review of Schönbrunn Palace after-hours tour with Austrian dinner and Mozart and Strauss concert, including costs, seating, and practical tips.
“The reasons I give 3 stars are the following two: 1. There should be detailed directions and photos for the meeting point as well as for the opera building. Otherwise it's very crowded place and hard to figure it out . 2. The concert was a joke. The floor was not inclined and the chairs were aligned back to back. As a result you could not see anything. I left in less than 5 min. If you ask me if I would do it again the answer is No.”

“Our tour guide Tobias Steinmaurer was very patient with us. He helped us on the camera settings when I wasn't sure. He was enthusastic in taking us to places with good oppertunity to capture beautiful and unique pictures. He didn't rush us instead was willing to spend a little bit longer time than it was supposed to in a very cold night. I highly recommend Tobias.”
Spend Christmas Eve in Oberndorf, where Silent Night was first performed, with a candlelit chapel service and snowy Salzach walk.
