Has anybody taken the tour of the "State Hall" and is it worth it? I know we can just get admission ticket and go thru on our own.
Also, for the tour tickets, I don't see a language specification so does that mean they are all German?

As far as I know the guided tours are in German. I do not know whether there are audio guides available.

You should be fine in The Prunksaal without much trouble . Most of the display material is visual , I don't recall if there were English translations , but if you bone up on a bit up Austrian ( particularly , Viennese history and culture - Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries ) it is fairly easy to absorb . Since you don't say when your dates are , watch this 90 minute video , before you go . It will go far to enhance your understanding of Vienna - https://youtu.be/AFZBOTgL_Hk

The temporary exhibitions in the State Hall always have captions in both German and English.
The current one, until November, is about garden and park design and architecture.
