Hapsburg History Guided Tour

Hi All,
I'm looking for recommendations for a good guided tour that focuses on the history of the Hapsburg dynasty in Vienna. Specifically, I'd love to find a tour that's about 2 hours in length that covers information about the Hapsburgs from near the beginning, touching on their inbreeding and how it impacted the family, various stories and background information, Empress Sisi and her quirks and how the end of the dynasty came about. Info touching on their unique burial rituals and anything else that would be interesting.

We're not museum people but love history and a good storyteller to explain things.
I've looked at the guided tour of Hofburg that's 60 minutes, but it focuses mostly on Sisi and we'd like to get a more well rounded view.

We don't need and can't afford a private tour, but a small group of 12 or so would be preferred over a huge group.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

PQ

Thanks wmt1. I did see that, but was hoping to avoid an audio tour in favor of a guide.

I've found a couple tour from Good Vienna Tours, so I might supplement them with some stuff on our own.

Thanks again,

PQ
