Hofburg tour reviews
I’ve reviewed all six Hofburg tickets and tours sold on this site — the two guided Sisi Museum tours, the two Neue Burg entry tickets, the Spanish Riding School morning exercise and the private tour. Each review says what the product actually is, what booked travellers report, and who should pick something else. One of the six has a middling rating, and I’ve kept it on the site anyway — the review explains why.
The six reviews
Vienna: Skip-the-Line Sisi Museum, Hofburg and Gardens Tour
The tour most first-timers should book — skip-the-line Sisi Museum entry with a guide who fills in the context.

Vienna: Hofburg and Empress Sisi Museum Guided Tour

Vienna: Imperial Treasury & New Hofburg Palace Combo Ticket

Vienna: New Hofburg Palace Audio-Guided Tour & Entry Ticket

Vienna: Spanish Riding School Training
The 3.9-rated morning exercise. Training, not a show — read this before you book it.

Frequently asked questions
How are these reviews put together?
Each review combines the product’s listing details, its GetYourGuide rating and review count, and what booked travellers say in their reviews — quoted with first names, as GetYourGuide publishes them. I add my own judgment on who each product suits, based on guiding in the Hofburg since 2009. The best-tour page ranks them by traveller type.
Are these reviews independent?
This site is an independent guide, not a tour operator and not the venue. I earn an affiliate commission if you book through my links, at the same price you’d pay going to GetYourGuide directly — see the affiliate disclosure. The Spanish Riding School review below is the proof that ratings don’t get rounded up here.
Why review a tour rated 3.9?
Because the Spanish Riding School morning exercise is worth €17 to the right visitor and a disappointment to the wrong one. The review explains which one you are before you book.
