Great tour and entertainment. Lots of historical information about the city in 1 1/2 hours! Definitely recommend it!

Not so easy to find bus stops, every sign is in German/Austrian. Traffic in Vienna is very heavy, like other major cities, with lots of traffic lights that seem to stay red for ages. Give yourself plenty of time. The tour itself was very informative. Phil Feldman

Great way to get around the city of Vienna. We were able to stop at different locations and listen to an explanation of all the buildings.

Very good big bus tour driver and audio commentary. The best part was the included walking tour we did after - absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. He’s 10 star

Great activity for overview of whole city, as well as surrounding palace route. Always do this activity in every new city I go to for an orientation.

Good, informative ride. However, the route was one-way traffic that restricted tourists to get off to their preferred stop. They had to go through the whole loop to get off to their preferred stop. For example, I wanted to visit stop 4 areas, but my nearest stop was 7 to get on. So I had to hop-on from stop 7 and sit for the whole circle to complete (total 16 stops), then start again from stop 1. I had to saty onboard for all these stops to hop-off to my preferred point. The service should run in both directions.

Not as good an experience as hop off/on in other cities. Be carwful when booking as first option on line for 33 euros is only 3 hours. The 24 hour pass common everwhere else is 42 euros. I took first option and had to pay 15 euros more to get the 24 hours It is much more expensive than other cities and you seem to spend much more time waiting at stops, half an hour in one instance. Would have been cheaper to take a cab into the city, another cab to the palace and home. Would not recommend it!!

Typical Hop-On-Hop-Off Experience. Covered a lot and we were able to go to all the places we wanted.

Good and helpful to go around the city with the bus listening to the history of each place we visited

The wait time for the bus was longer than expected. The audio was in English with earphones. Some general info and a little music when there was pauses. We only signed up for the red line which worked for our river cruise stop but I also should have gotten the blue line to reach the outskirts of the city.
