About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, with just your private guide, a genuine Riesenrad Ferris wheel ride and Schönbrunn Palace. This is a private tour for your group only, with just your private guide for company. Real content includes a city walk, Schönbrunn Palace, a genuine ride on the Riesenrad Ferris wheel, and Viennese food.

The Riesenrad has turned above Vienna's Prater park since 1897, built by English engineers Walter Bassett, Harry Hitchins, and Hubert Cecil Booth to mark the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph I's coronation. From 1920 until 1985 it stood as the tallest Ferris wheel still standing anywhere in the world. Allied bombing gutted it in 1945, and Vienna rebuilt it afterward — alongside St. Stephen's Cathedral and the State Opera, both considered equally essential to the city's identity — with 15 cabins rather than the original 30, each one still swaying gently over the same treetops today.

Schönbrunn's grounds go back to 1569, when Emperor Maximilian II bought the land for a hunting lodge; the 1683 Ottoman siege of Vienna flattened whatever stood there, and Emperor Leopold I had it rebuilt from 1696 under architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The palace most visitors recognize today — roughly 1,440 rooms of pale Rococo facade — took shape between 1743 and 1749, when Empress Maria Theresa had it remodeled into her summer court. She raised sixteen children here, including the future Marie Antoinette, and a six-year-old Mozart reportedly gave an early performance for the imperial family in its Hall of Mirrors. UNESCO listed the palace and gardens together in 1996.

This private day pairs those two real landmarks with an ordinary Viennese routine rather than a checklist of sights — a walk through the city center, a ride on the Riesenrad for the kind of wheel-top view locals still bring visiting relatives to see, and genuine Viennese food along the way. With just your own guide for the day, the pace is set by your group, not by a shared tour's timetable.
