Ticketing was easy! It seemed like the buildings to view were rather far away and couldn't see well or get a decent photo.

It was a very confortable bus. But when I tried to get in at one of the final points I wasn´t let because it was said that I had to get out at the last stop and couldn´t continuo sitting. This doesn´t happen in any other place (not in other cities I went). I was frustrated. This would make me not recomendo this ride.

The bus tour was ok, staff very friendly ... But in general you get ripped off like everywhere in the tourist resorts ...

The tour was OK but a bit short on information. Traffic was slow and there wasn't a lot of information presented compared to other cities. The Blue route wasn't available and times between buses seemed a bit excessive. Bought a two day ticket but only used one day for about two hours. Plus the 48 hours didn't start when we bought the tickets, rather at the beginning of the day so we would have come close to a 48 hour ticket anyway. Wouldn't recommend to much.

Everything was explained very well and clearly, you could get on and off at any time. The trick fountains and the pleasure garden of Helbrunn Palace are very good and worth seeing. And combined with the SalzburgCard, you save a lot of entrance fees. For example, we used Helbrunn Castle, Untersbergbahn and Helbrunn Zoo.
