Poor

It is exceptionally poorly organised. NOT TUI, the riding school. Your printed ticket, which says 'ticket' and asks you to print it, is not a ticket. You will land up joining the back of a very long queue to exchange your 'ticket' for a ticket. Then you will sent away from the doors, out of the building and into the rain. To queue again. Then to get sent into your stands. The horse 'training' literally comprised 2 groups of 5 riding in circles for 20 minutes. Complete waste of time and money.

Klank in de rijschool was moeilijk te verstaan. Een betere klankinstallatie zou mogen voor die prijs

Enjoyed the training session. Horse and riders were amazing. The instructions did not explain that it was necessary to que for the tickets and then walk around the building to gain access via another que.

Our e tickets wouldn't download from Musement. We had to pay for 2 more tickets to get in to see the event. Very poor service from Musement.

Good for horse lovers. Bit boring. Horses trotting around the ring. No show type rehearsal moves. On the plus side it was a beautiful venue inside.

Anne

It was very difficult to hear the narrator talking about what was happening in the arena. I'm also fairly certain that she was saying lots more in German then the English version. The session was advertised as in English I'm sure. I'd liked to have been told what they were getting the horses to do and why. It should also be started on the booking that there are considerable steps up to the balcony area.

I didn’t expect it to be a show but it was a few horses walking round not even really training just giving them a walk round I wouldn’t recommend it

There needs to be more information about accessibility of the venue and the staff should be a bit more patient and polite. The experience of seeing the horses was amazing but lack of information let the overall experience down.

Lovely experience. Venue was wonderful and easy to get to from directions etc given by staff

Jane

Traveled as As a couple - 58 years old

Unfortunately we were late docking that morning and despite getting a taxi we were late arriving. It was our fault that I hadn’t realised that our vouchers needed to be taken to the ticket office to be given an actual ticket with our seat number on. I think this could be made clearer. However, the actual performance was very enjoyable with commentary in English as well as German.

The experience overall was satisfying but quite a lot of queueing. The staff were helpful and informative. The seats in the auditorium are quite hard and not padded in any way. The performance was interesting but not as exciting as a full show. The horse training is quite repetitive and to filming is allowed. Overall I think the session could be a little shorter and the price a little lower.

It was fascinating watching the progress made in training the horses well worth the time spent

We went with the idea there would be a horse display rather than watch the horses being trained so we wasted an hour and a half of our time. I don't believe it was fully explained in your brochure.

Brilliant show

Leider War die Wahl der Karten im Internet nicht sehr glücklich, vor ort waren eine Reihe von besseren noch frei.

A little more consideration for the elderly, up spiral stairs to the balcony not good when school children were seated on the lower level. Maybe questions of age range and disabilities on booking page would help elderly and disabled to be seated more sensibly.

Was very disorganised when trying to collect tickets and enter. There were seat numbers on the tickets which no one told us about.

Glad we did it. But a bit underwhelming.

Loved everything- was a lifetime wish to visit. We only had tickets for a training session but would love to return for a proper performance one day.

Mooi om de ochtend training te zien. Wel weinig spektakel. Er worden twee groepen paarden getraind. (2 x 6 hengsten in de baan). Wel jammer dat tui je niet laat kiezen voor zitplaats keuze. Je zit helemaal bovenin met beperkt zicht. Wij hebben ter plekke nog een stal tour bijgeboekt.

The horses are beautiful. My seat was upstairs with an unknown group. Bit awkward especially as there were plenty elsewhere. Both people in ticket office looked at my voucher as if it were in sandscrit. There are works going on right outside where my seat was. As a result I couldn’t hear the explanation about the horses. I stayed 20 minutes to see some of the training I could understand. Then left.

We expected a little more than just watching the horses and riders trotting around

Nicky

Obviously seeing the horses was great. Poor view from the seating and the routine was lacking in substance for hour long program

May 2024

A wonderful opportunity to see the famous horses training - sadly only two 30 minute sessions of 5 horses. I understand that flash photography is not allowed in case it scared the horses, but video cameras and modern phones take pictures without flash, so to ban all photos was disappointing.

The building was lovely but……Could only see half of the practice area from our seats and view was partly blocked by neighbours. I would have preferred the guided tour instead.

The school itself was fantastic but the reserved seat for TUI are terrible and I wished I’ve of just booked directly through the riding school

Man muss schon ein eingefleischter Pferdefan sein, um das Morgentraining toll zu finden. Wir haben das Event für die Kinder gekauft und diese waren sehr gelangweilt. Die Kulisse ist jedoch großartig, rechtfertigt allerdings nicht den Eintrittspreis und die mäßige Sicht.

September 2023

Très intéressant bien sûr et très professionnel mais ne correspondait pas à ce qui était annoncé et ce pourquoi j'avais réservé en + du grd spectacle : nous devions voir les coulisses de cette École, les soins aux chevaux ds les écuries, la préparation et l'entraînement.Cela n'a rien apporté de plus

Really enjoyed seeing the beautiful horses. Would have been brilliant to see them actually performing rather than just training but understand that they only do that on a certain day and we weren't in Vienna on that day.

De ochtendtraining in de Spaanse rijschool was indrukwekkend. Ik had van tevoren niet kunnen bedenken dat dit me zo zou raken. Wat die paarden kunnen is fantastisch! En hoe ze met die paarden omgaan, is ontroerend. Ik had dit niet willen missen. De volgende keer zou ik ook een show willen zien, want dit smaakt naar meer. Wat ik persoonlijk irritant vond, is dat mensen blijven filmen en fotograferen terwijl dat niet toegestaan is tijdens de training.

June 2023

Beautifful. elegant and well worth seeing this historic and well preserved custom from the Habsburg epoque. The location is splendid and the horses make you want to own one! I,m so glad I got to see this training session it was a memorable part of thi visit to Vienna!

Großartige Pferde und Reiter in einer tollen Reitkulisse

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found it entertaining and informative.

De rijschool is niet makkelijk te vinden en ter plaatse keken ze eerst raar op van onze voucher. Als je met Tui boekt, kan je maar 1 soort plaats boeken. Gelukkig waren het zitplaatsen, maar wij wilden eigenlijk de duurdere zitplaatsen waar je heel de piste kon zien. En het commentaar uit de luidsprekers was teveel vervormd om alles te verstaan. De Lipizaners en hun berinders waren wel de moeite waard. Châpeau hiervoor.

De training is niet echt bijzonder, tenzij je misschien een liefhebber of kenner bent van paarden. Het is wel een mooie zaal waar in de training plaatsvindt. Ook de paarden zijn erg mooi inclusief de ruiters.Een uur lang is genoeg.

Geen reisleiding aanwezig dus lastig te combineren. Jammer is dat het feit dat je een voucher hebt (die je moet printen; wat ouderwets) je noet vrijwaard van de lange rij mensen die staan te wachten om een kaartje te kopen. Als is reserveer bij Cafe Central kan ik gewoon langs de rij lopen. Nu moet ik alsnog in een lange rij staan om mijn gekochte kaartje in te wisselen voor een ander kaartje?? Voor de rest: wel een hele mooie show

Opera bezoek was geweldig, Lipizaner paarden was oke, maar mijn verwachtingen waren hoger of te hoog. oo het Scloss Schonbrun is een aanrader

Bellissima esperienza, l'unico problema è che non fanno fare né foto né video ed è un peccato

De 5 soms 6 paarden liepen alleen maar rondjes

Für diese Veranstaltung sollte man absoluter Pferdenarr sein denn das morgendliche Arbeitsprogramm wird zwar von einer Stimme vom Band erklärt aber wirklich viel Trainung hat man nicht gesehen. Überwiegend liefen die Reiter im Kreis oder machten nur eine bzw. Zwei unterschiedliche Übungen

September 2021

Ik zag de paardentramlijn. De training bestaat uit verschillende onderdelen die de paarden moeten volgen. En natuurlijk ook het klassieke muziek behoort erbij. Was alleen jammer dat je geen foto,s mocht maken
