“Finding the meeting location is a challenge but the experience is fantastic. The tour of the palace was quick but informative. We went to the palace several hours before the tour began and were able to enjoy the Christmas market outside . The dinner was on the palace grounds, the waiter was very kind and attentive and the chef was able to provide a good gluten free meal. The concert was fabulous. VIP tickets gave us front row seats at the concert.”

“First the good stuff - we got A class seats and it was near the front. Musicians are fantastic and they love what they do. Strauss and Mozart was amazing . Now the bad - the venue is mediocre and bland . The sound quality was not good - needs to be crisp and sharp especially violins. The interior was extremely hot . 30F outside but the inside was like 80F . I know it’s a European thing but it was uncomfortable. Only one exit and the lines to get your jackets at the end of the performance was extremely long .”
