“Great experience - self guided tour - with tasting at the end. Very interesting story of how wine is made in Austria. Captions on displays were in German and English - a bonus! The wine itself was excellent - tasting the 3 wines encouraged us to make a purchase - although there is no obligation to buy!”

“This could be really fun however today it was not. Vienna is a really busy city and I found the time taken to read the clues and look for the answers led to doddering about in really busy touristy areas. It’s been really sunny (yay) but that meant the sun glinting off my phone screen made reading the clues more difficult. We gave up early on as the experience was not enjoyable for us today, however, I would definitely try this again elsewhere”

“Booked at 2pm tour. First they tried to switch to 3pm. Then gave us tickets for 2:30pm. Would not give a refund. Small print says tickets can be 1-2 hours from selected time. Just go to official site and book online yourself. Scam middlemen.”
Skip the Albertina Palace ticket line in Vienna, explore Habsburg staterooms and major art galleries, with an optional WeGoTrip audio tour.
“Mi -au plăcut toate obiectivele pe care le-am vizitat:Kunsthistorischesmuseum,MUMOK,Albertina,Palatul Belvedere,Muze ul Leopold,Tezaurul de la palatul Hofburg și Palatul Schonnbrun. A fost un program încărcat ,der a meritat efortul! Am avut satisfacții deosebite! Iar spectacolul cu ,,Peleas și Melissende " de la Opera din Viena a fost ,, cireașa de pe tort"! Din păcate am avut selectat audio-ghid la Palatul Albertina,mi-am descărcat aplicația indicată dar nu a pornit derularea audio video a traseului in muzeu!”
