Jan is such a fun and knowledgeable guide and we so enjoyed our tour of the Schonbrunn Palace! He made the visit and the historical context animated and fun. Would highly recommend Jan to anyone visiting not just Schonbrunn but also Vienna in general!

Don’t just take our word for it
It was our second tour with Jan and he was a delight. The palace was a little crowded but he navigated us through the crowds incredibly .He was well informed on art, architecture and history. He was responsive to our questions and we learned a great deal.
Gabriela was a delightful guide with extensive knowledge of her subject and its connections to other aspects of Vienna. She was the first guide I used with Context, and I definitely knew I made the right choice. I can't thank her enough for making my trip special!
