I kind of expected we would be walked to interesting sights "off the beaten trail". Maybe into some cellar or see some tucked away building. But nope. Just the stuff you will walk by during the day anyways. The stories were a bit long but still interesting. I'd say this tour should be cut in half (1 hour instead of 2) and drop the price a bit and it would be perfect. As is though, I wasn't disappointed that we did it, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

There was so much great information and our guide was so lovely! She created the entire presentation herself so it was cool. You could tell that she loved what she was doing, which makes a big difference. We had a great time and would definitely do another tour!

The guide Astride showed us around the castle and regaled us with stories of ghosts, ghoulish people and the like. She has a humorous, irreverent take on the history of the Hapsburgs, without being disparaging, and made for a very delightful History-of-Austria-101. Highly recommended
