We had the pleasure of having Martha as our private guide for the Schönbrunn tour, and she was simply incredible. From the very beginning, she set the tone with her brilliant storytelling, immersing us in the experience by telling us we were noble guests invited by the emperor and riding in a carriage. This playful approach made the whole tour feel magical.
As we strolled through the magnificent rooms, Martha brought history to life in a way that was both engaging and educational. She seamlessly combined fascinating historical facts with insights into the stunning design of the palace’s interiors. Even in the midst of a fully booked and crowded day, she managed to create an intimate and personalized experience, taking photos for us and ensuring the tour felt like a private highlight.
The crowning moment was when she guided us through the gardens, giving us a deeper understanding of Baroque garden architecture. Martha beautifully tied the garden design to European history, providing a broader perspective that we truly appreciated.
She also shared excellent tips on exploring the gardens, pointing out hidden cafés and peaceful spots where locals unwind. For anyone visiting Austria for the first time, this tour is an absolute must, and Martha’s guidance made it unforgettable.
