GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5The ability to get on and off the bus and visit the city at your own pace is one of the highlights. Another major plus is being able to listen to the commentary on the audio guide in your preferred language. This really helps you to better understand the buildings, parks, and monuments. The explanations given by the staff before boarding the bus and the brochure provided with the chosen route also make things much easier.MManuela S
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5A beautiful tour of Vienna. For the first time on a Hop on Hop Off tour, the headphones were great, and the sound quality and clarity were excellent.FFilip S
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5I was surprised that the price was lower than on the official website. Everything worked without any issues, and the tickets arrived instantly.GGerardo K
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Everything went smoothly: booking the tickets was easy, and once we downloaded the app, we were able to make the most of both tours, which allowed us to explore beautiful Vienna from top to bottom. The Big Bus staff we encountered, both on board and at the stops, were friendly and professional—especially Alì, whom I had the chance to chat with at the Votive Church stop. The only downside was the unbearable heat on the upper deck of the buses. I would still recommend the experience to everyone, though.KKristin F
SoloVerified booking2 days ago4/5"Hop-on-hop-off" is used by multiple providers, so I ended up on the wrong bus and was politely asked to leave along the way. Finding the stops wasn't as easy as hoped, either, but it wasn't impossible. Despite everything, I had a nice tour.
This combo is exactly what you need for a budget-friendly Viennese experience! Jump aboard Vienna’s Giant Ferris Wheel with skip-the-line access and keep on rolling with a 24/48-hour hop-on hop-off pass that takes you through the city's must-see spots.
Giant Ferris Wheel
Hop off at stop #9 Prater on Red route and in just a few steps, head to the historic Giant Ferris Wheel, the star of Vienna's Wiener Prater, and get ready for a ride packed with adrenaline rush. Over 10 to 20 minutes, you’ll be treated to stunning views of Vienna’s famous spots, from the lush Vienna Woods to the glittering Danube River. But there's more – dive into the city's rich history with "The Wheel of Time" at the Panorama installation, where eight cabins bring Vienna’s 2,000-year journey to life through audio-visual magic. Floating 64.75 meters up, you’ll soak in Vienna’s heritage from a whole new angle.
