Important Information

Please check your email the day before the tour. The 2-hour tour doesn’t include private transfers and the Hofburg Palace tickets. Skip-the-line tickets offer a time slot for entry, so it's important to arrive on time. You will skip the line at the cash desk. Due to museum regulations, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-14 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide. The Hofburg Silver Collection will be closed from April 1, 2023 until further notice, so you will only visit the Sisi Museum and Imperial Apartments. The 3- and 5-hour options include an estimated 1-hour round-trip transfer time between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Transfer time can take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic. We will arrange a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van for groups of 5 people and more. You can book a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
