GBWonderful experience but clarify location first! This was a wonderful experience and the children really enjoyed it. We did not understand the location correctly from the email confirmation and we missed the first part of our concert unfortunately. The hosts were wonderful and let us attend the next session to catch up the first half of the concert and saved us good seats. They didn't have to do that and it was incredibly kind that they did! I would recommend these events but also recommend that you clarify the venue twice before you set off!

DEMay not have understood it but thoroughly enjoyed it Had never been to a classical concert before - so while in Vienna I thought why not. I was captivated by the location and enthralled by the music. The time just flew by. Yes I possibly didn't fully understand Vivaldi's Four Seasons but boy did I enjoy it.

GBTerrible Dinner in Hotel Breakfast Area I bought 2 tickets for Dinner + Vienna Mozart Orchestra / 1870 Restaurant Terrace / Musikverein - GoldenHall. The 1870 Restaurant is on the top floor of the Grand Hotel Wien. When I arrived the staff told me that the restaurant was booked for a private event and to proceed to the 1st Floor. The staff seated us at their hotel breakfast buffet area. We had a choice of fish or chicken. I chose the chicken. The plate was brought to me with 3 chicken nugget size pieces of chicken thigh meat and a lemon half to squeeze over it. There was nothing else on the plate. I tried to eat it but it was too greasy. I don’t write bad reviews, but this was a total rip off. I paid a lot of money to have a nice dinner with my wife at a nice restaurant. What we got instead was seating in a loud hotel lobby and an entree that wouldn’t meet McDonald’s standards. They even charged us $9 Euros for the bottle of water we drank. The soup and desert were fine and we enjoyed the concert, but don’t buy the dinner!

GBBit more attention to detail and would be 5 stars Easy to use website with good information about the sort of performance you are booking. Confirmation arrived promptly and electronically. On the evening the arrangements seemed a little amateur eg allocation of an actual seat and while drinks at the interval were mentioned these had to be paid for. The invitation to comment comes with a "20 euro" gift voucher but mine actually says it's for 10 euros. For an extra few euros on the ticket price a glass of fizz in the interval could be included, and the front of house team on the night needs a little more training/support.

GBMisrepresentation I went to the Mozart house concert. The music was good - but it was not in Mozart's house! The entire purpose of the concert was the ornate decorations and history of the venue. Instead, we were in an abhorrently decorated modern room where they didn't even bother to unwrinkle the carpet the musicians were playing on. I have no recollection of them telling me it wasn't in the normal venue before purchasing - if they did, they must have sneaked it in somewhere where the customer doesn't see it. Awful rip-off, praying on tourists. It was hard to even enjoy the musicians when I was so disappointed I had fallen for their ploy like a shmuck - and then they have the audacity to charge for water in their swelteringly hot modern building that despite it's being at least fifty times younger than the actual building, does not have air conditioning. Better to call ahead and double-check everything before dealing with this vendor.
