We had plenty of choice while in Viena for a Mozart/Strauss venue, was not easy to choose but we were glad to have chosen this one, in the Orangery of the Schoenbrunn itself! The service and attention was professional and kind. The show (music and dance) was entertaining and with a true sense of authenticity. Atmosphere in this special place... More

I booked this tour online with an organisation called A&A tours. I purchased their supposed VIP tickets to ensure we made the most of our short visit to Vienna. It was a complete scam and nothing VIP to it at all. We were simply handed audio sets and left to do our own tour. We then had to hang around... More

We were in Vienna this spring and beside the gorgeous city, it was an unique experience to feel the sensation from the past - excellent food, nice orchestra, fantastic premises! Not to miss when in Vienna!

This was one of the most delightful cultural experiences I have had in a European city. The charm was never ending! It is a must see in Vienna. My husband and I had the palace tour, dinner, concert package and we would recommend it highly. The moment you step onto the property of Schoenbrunn Palace you feel as though you... More

Other fellows on the reviews seem to feel a little bit of "trapped" or something like it. I appreciate when people express their opinion but always use a parameter. For example, this is good composted to that. And this is a good example. In Vienna, if you want something better, just go for the big money. The whole city lives... More

I wanted to choose something really special on our last evening in Vienna and on paper this sounded the works! There were 6 of us and we paid 39 Euro's for the "cheapest" seats but were absolutely reassured by the sales girl that these seats were, in fact, often complemented on their superb position and accoustics - what a con!...

Dear Costumer, After reading your report about our concert please let us respond accordingly. We understand our concert as a classical concert that should entertain music lovers as well as people not going to these kind of concerts regularly. You comments about the seating and bad acoustic could appear in any concert hall being for away from the stage but... More

As musicians and lovers of the music of Mozart and Strauss, my wife and I jumped at the chance to go to the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace for an evening of their music. We are both positive minded people who try to find the best of things and thoroughly enjoyed the two singers and the lovely setting in the Orangery. The... More

very expensive tickets but the show is bit boring. Only 8 of them are performing. You don't need to go and see this wourd rather see other attractions in Vienna.

We found this orchestra very good and entertaining. The obligatory 1 euro coat check and the hard chair seats were the negative sides. But the music and its quality were very good. There's a 15 minute break after about 40 minutes of playing. It has ballet dancing and opera singing as well. In general, it's a very good event to... More

The music and venue are average at best. There are much better performances in Vienna. In addition to the very expensive tickets, you have to pay extra for the program. The dance performance seemed rather theatrical.
