Informative experience, saves so much walking - So easy to book via the app, the best way to see a city, with the informative information given via headphones on the bus in many languages. Easy way to see many places in a day as hop on hop off makes it possible to cover great distances that otherwise would take a long time to walk to. Friendly staff and comfortable seats , definitely recommend.

Really good - We did both routes around the city on 2 different days. Really good to get around but peak times add to the journey times with traffic congestion, we travelled on the upper deck to get better view's all busses have roof's on, the commentary was informative. Added bonus was a city walking tour which was well worth the near 2 hour but easy and gentle walk, tour guide was informative. All so including in your ticket was a free drink of mulled wine at one of the Christmas markets

Hop on and off bus February 2025 English speaking from the UK - We booked the tour on line and did used the map (On line) to find the closest bus stop from our hotel. However at certain points there is a tour guide who is there to help and i think you can pay on the day. You can use your ticket for the blue line (If you bought the ticket for the red line and vice versa. The tour was good with the bus driving around the city and the use of head phones (These are provide) one plugged (Back of the seat) you can choose the language you require ( English German Italian They may have been a couple more ) I did some see some oriental trying to find there language but this was not on and they gave up and just looked around while bus was driving. We missed the stop for the cruise !!!!!! Reason for this we did not hear this on the head phones and i do not know if the driver shouted as we had the head phones in. Yes we were on the upper deck!! Things to improve Visual Map on the bus so you can see where you are stating which stop you are at and which way round you are going AND where the bus stopping sign is on the bus instead of saying STOP would it be better the sign saying Stop 7 or Stop 5 Stop 3 ETC Stop 7 i think this is to go on the blue line you have to get off the bus a 1 minute walk to get on the BLUE line but looking at the map you think its the same stop. But be sure you that ask the driver to tell you what stop you want and sit down stairs to her him but i don't think you get the picture when sitting on the lower deck. BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO SEE THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS. I know it is a long report but this will hopefully this will help you and the company.

Cute. - Today we did blue and red tours but not all because very long. Between traffic and length of the tour .. we would not have had time to do so many things. Nice though you see all of Vienna. And on foot you don't see certain things. So do it!

Good experience but sooo hot inside - Very good idea to see the city quickly, however when it’s hot outside (like 30 degrees), everyone on the topof the bus are literally melting, mo fresh air.

Quick overview of Vienna attractions - The two routes give a good insight into the sights of Vienna. The AudioGuide gives a lot of information and is very pleasantly designed. Disadvantage: There are unnecessarily long waiting times at some stops.

Horrible experience - We took the 48 hours deal and it was a horrible experience. It was super hot on the bus as there was no air condition; their map is very confusing and difficult to understand: we wasted about one hour every day trying to figure it out. It took so long to arrive to the various attractions, so much that we just stopped using the bus and started using public transportation instead which was much faster and easier. This is a total scam, I recommend using public transportation.

The worst in the summer, no A/C! - This was by far the WORST bus tour I have taken in the summer. NO air conditioning makes it literally a torture chamber, despite hefty price. Do yourself a favor and avoid this operator in the summer. This was borderline abuse and torture.
