The walk was excellent, 5 out of 5. (The rating widget above doesn't seem to be working) Very much enjoyed to museum and learned a great deal about an artistic period I didn't know much about.
The docent we'd rate at 3 out of 5. She was professional and knowledgeable, but all four of our party felt she was a bit disengaged - almost as if she was punching the clock. May have just been an off day for her. However, I must say this: The couple traveling with us (with decades of international travel experience without being aware of Context Travel) were very impressed with our Schonbrunn tour docent, but after our Kunsthistorisches tour the first thing they asked was if we got to rate the guide because they weren't impressed

Reinhard was an engaging, incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive guide. We travel and use guides extensively and Reinhard was up there with the best. He provided clear, engaging context and historical background, thoughtfully spoke through the historic, good, bad and horrific, and had all of us from 16 years old up to 60s, holding onto his every word. He was flexible stopping for us all to warm up and enjoy a coffee and made the complex understandable.
