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.
    • Enjoy a 75-minute Danube Canal sightseeing cruise, an easy way to see Vienna from the water without planning routes or changing public transport.

    • See landmarks and graffiti art along the Danube Canal, watching Vienna's walls and neighborhoods line the water throughout the cruise.

    • Upgrade to options that include a Viennese lunch (menu attached), schnitzel, apple strudel with a hot drink, or unlimited prosecco.

    Easy to book, friendly staff, and discounted kids tickets. Lovely way to spend an hour or so and see Vienna from a different perspective.

    We had to wait in line for a long time before we could get on the boat, and that time was deducted from the actual trip. As a result, the tour wasn't very long, and we didn't get to see much of the sights.

    A bit pricey for just a one-way trip along the Danube Canal. The audio commentary is very quiet—or rather, the engine is loud. Otherwise, it's a nice experience.

    A "sightseeing tour", by definition, requires sights. An interesting building and a few birds hardly qualify. Really, really boring boat ride.

    A uneventful canal cruise with no notable scenic or urban features (exception: a commercial building facade designed by Hundertwasser).
