Absolutely fantastic experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made everything even more enjoyable. The audio guide offered a wide range of languages, each filled with fascinating stories about Vienna that really brought the city to life. It was engaging, informative, and so much fun from start to finish. I highly recommend this hop-on hop-off tour to anyone visiting Vienna!

A lovely, enjoyable cruise along the Danube Canal. Peaceful and relaxing. Just as we’d imagined. One point deducted for a female crew member who was quite impatient and unfriendly. Sure, there were a lot of passengers, and for a moment it seemed like she was overwhelmed. Other than that, it was great. Thank you.

The sightseeing bus had huge side windows and many panoramic roof windows. The bus was heated, which was very convenient during the cold Austrian December. The sightseeing audio guide was concise and interesting. Although not everything about our ride was completely clear, every employee was very flexible and helpful.

Blue route the longest that takes you to the Old Danube and discover the tower from which to view Vienna and its three Danube rivers. Excellent audio guide that gives you an idea of how to get around Vienna. Recommended. In the winter season doubly so.

We chose the yellow and blue line and the price of 39 euros is definitely worth it. You can see everything you need to see in Vienna. Only to see the Hundertwasserhaus you have to get off the bus and walk for about 5 minutes, the bus does not pass the sight. The palaces alone are worth the bus ride. I can also recommend the panoramic train ride to Schönbrunn Palace. 16 euros per person is a bit overpriced, but you can get on and off the train as often as you like.

Gr8 cruise very comfortable and smooth with speeds of 66km per hour. Service, food and drinks were very high standard for reasonable prices. Woukd be more than happy to recommend the tour Vienne to Bratislava on the catamaran

Glide along the Danube River on a 75-minute cruise and let Vienna's urban-meets-nature tapestry unfold before you, turning sights into a moving postcard.

Chill out with WiFi and AC as your boat reveals Vienna's gems: Hundertwasser's unique architecture, Danube Island's green strip, and Urania's observatory.

Design your dream Vienna tour with a flexible 24/48/72-hour hop-on hop-off bus pass along 3 routes and 50+ drop points for a tailor-made experience.

Zip between Vienna's icons every 10-30 minutes, from Freud Museum to Schönbrunn's grandeur, as 16-language audio tales and WiFi keep boredom at bay.

Fun fact: The Danube River’s picturesque landscapes inspired the famous waltz "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II.

A new and comfortable boat, with friendly and helpful crew members. The boat was spotlessly clean. I had expected to cruise on the Danube, but we actually cruised on a parallel canal. This "detail" wasn't mentioned in the booking.

The service was okay. The sparse announcements were inaudible in our section of the ship.
