our HopOn/Off bus tour provided a good tour of Vienna on our last of 4 days there with a great stop at the Prater for lunch and to ride the ferris wheel and other fun rides enjoyed by the two 14 year old grandchildren (and parent each) We were ready to kick back and enjoy the ride with a well done audio guide as we rode by the sites to fill out our visit in the city. Several short stops allowed us to view where a family member had spent a university semester some years ago. We recommend this as a wonderful way to enjoy Vienna with a relatively short time there.

Even with temperatures reaching 37° in the shade, the bus drivers were completely relaxed, and the digital systems worked as well. We’re aware of other modes of transportation that have recently experienced disruptions.

Everything went well. We saw a lot in just a few hours. Tip: Book both sightseeing tours on the first day of your 48-hour stay. Pick out the best sights and visit them on the second day.

The tours are extremely well-organized, the explanations about the city and the sights are clear and easy to follow, and all the staff are friendly and helpful—I’d definitely book these tours again anytime!!!

I liked how easy the routes are. I wish the schedules started earlier, but I guess that’s just how things are here. The staff was helpful—they showed me where the stops and locations were—and the translation was excellent.

The ride was very pleasant and not too crowded; the service was good. I would recommend this tour to tourists who aren’t familiar with Vienna because it isn’t too long either.

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.

The buses ran at frequent intervals and stopped at all the "major" sights. You could switch between routes as you pleased.
