Flexible Options to Experience Vienna - Nikola was so helpful is recommending options that suited us and we really enjoyed both over the 2 days we had in Vienna. The hop on: hop off tour is an excellent way to see Vienna, especially in 38° heat! Nikola also recommended the longer boat tour, which had so many options for times, and we avoided the queues! The boat tour contained something that was a unique experience for us. We really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed and Suggest option to see Vienna - We did the hop on hop off the trolley Ferris wheel and the Danube river cruise. The bus drivers were professional, helpful, and outstanding with navigating the the city. My only suggestion on that would be to know when you get off at a stop if the attraction that you’re going to see is open or not other than that you need to wait for the next bus to come. The Danube cruise they drop you at top 10, but you need to walk down to pair six and go in the building to get your ticket to avoid the cruise. It was nice to say that you went on the Danube but you spent a lot of time waiting for the canal to be water levels to be lowered so that you could enter the canal. The staff on the cruise are friendly. They offered food and beverage, but the cruise is really not long enough for that type of service. The Ferris wheel was very good. You were in a trolley car and you got up to see some amazing sites and views of the city of Vienna. They do take your picture before you get on the trolley like when you go to any other attraction. It’s a suggestible offering and most people end up getting it before you get on the trolley you walk to similar to an amusement park with different rides. They even have a gelato shop. My husband and brother got their gelato and it was very very good. The hop on off off Bus tour with the Danube river, cruise, and the Ferris wheel in a trolley car is worth the money. .

Five in one hop on hop off combo - We did the hop on hop off five in one combo which included two palaces, a river, cruise, and a ride on the Vienna wheel. I thought overall it was worth it.

Ok but too long - I liked the headphone commentary on the bus & Federico Ariosto was very helpful & informative about timings to do other things so this was a big plus. However we thought the tour was overly long with not particularly interesting content for some of it. This was the red route.

Uncomfortable experience - The tour itself was excellent. So was the River Cruise on which we had an enjoyable lunch at reasonable price. We did not go on walking tour due to heat and knee problems. The staff were good. The reason I have only given it 3 stars is that of the 5 journeys we took only two of the buses had air conditioning. The temperature was in the 90s which made the whole experience very un comfortable.

Lost of time and money - The buses were late. We were not able to take the river cruse even though we had paid $ 95 .00. We could have taken the yellow hop-on hop off for only $ 25.00. The waiting time for yellow ones was much less.

Don't recommend. - The hop on hop off was okay and a good way to see the sights, but the buses are not as frequent as they said and they don't always show up. I also missed the walking tour as I was told the wrong time and the app/brochure/website have different times. They refused to refund or offer an alternative to the missed walking tour.
