Review of Vienna’s Schönbrunn evening tour with palace access, Austrian dinner, Mozart and Strauss concert, seating tips, and practical advice.
“Firstly, the palace, tour of the apartments and the concert was absolutely wonderful. There was just a lack of information which made it very difficult to find the orangerie which we found out was outside the palace grounds and a little walk. We were almost late because of this. The restaurant meal was very good, but the were very black and white with no changes allowed. Concert was fantastic and made the whole event.”
Review of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace dinner and concert, with practical timing, menu details, seating advice, ticket options, and value tips.
“The dinner was perfect. The concert was magnificent; you could tell the instrumentalists and the two vocalists gave put their hearts and souls into the performance. Definitely value for money in such a wonderful venue.”
Enjoy a three-course Viennese dinner and Mozart and Strauss concert at Schönbrunn Palace, with VIP seating and sparkling wine available.
“It is overrated based on what someone expects to see and to hear. The chair distribution is unacceptable creating many rows where only the expensive front vip rows have better view and acoustical access to the concert. The diagrams given when you buy the tickets are unclear”
Review of Salzburg’s Mirabell Palace dinner and classical concert, including menu, timing, value, seating tips, and practical advice.
“What a wonderful experience, from the beautiful dinner at the Sheraton to the highly enjoyable classical concert- thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended!”
Review of Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi dining: gold cappuccino, Episodes afternoon tea, Vendôme buffet, prices, dress code, and value.
“The International buffet was good, but at $110/person, pretty expensive. No one offered if we wanted to purchase a glass of wine. We did get the cappuccino with the gold leafs. That was cool! I would recommend you do the cheaper option and just get the cappuccino. The inside of the palace is very lovely!”
Enjoy a three-course French dinner, four wines, and practical tasting lessons at O Chateau, three minutes from the Louvre.
“Our Guide had expert knowledge of wine and explained things very well. She was funny and attentive. The food was also really good.”
Review of Vaux-le-Vicomte’s candlelit dinner tour from Paris, with limousine pickup, golf-cart gardens, Champagne, and practical booking tips.
“Chateau trip had a few problems car showed up thinking they were picking up 2 vs 5 persons. This caused us to wait in 95 degree heat while the limo company scrambled to find us a larger vehicle. Kudos to the first limo driver as he was delightful and stayed with us until other car arrived. Unfortunately, this caused us to be an hour late to the Chateau which meant we had less than 45 min to tour the house. Dinner was excellent and fireworks were beautiful but VERY short-lived e.g. less than 7 min.”
Ride a private gondola through Venice, then enjoy aperitivo and dinner in an elegant palace setting on this romantic 2.5-hour evening.
“Great gondola ride and good meal. Price was very high for what was offered though.”
Enjoy opera, Italian wine, and candlelit dining inside Palazzo Pamphilj, with sweeping Piazza Navona views and live arias by Puccini and Verdi.
“The opera programme and choice of songs were amazing. Paola alonzi,fabio andreotti and massimiliano franchina were fantastic. The food was on another level and tasted great. The greeter and the servers were also fantastic. What a night to remember. I thank you all for a great night.”
Review of Rafain Palace’s Brazilian barbecue dinner show, with dances, tango, buffet details, transport tips, price advice, and visa notes.
Review of the Emirates Palace dining experience in Abu Dhabi, including food, palace setting, price, value, timing, and who should book.
“This is just a dinner at the restaurant . It has nothing to do with an experience and you can book it directly at the restaurant at a much cheaper price. I don’t even know why this offer exists, it is such terrible expensive.”
Pick a dynasty, a capital or a garden.
