I have very positive memories of the service on board, the smooth boarding and disembarking process and the friendly welcome at the start of the trip. This was due to the dedicated team that made this possible, even though several offers of the same kind had to be completed for them one after the other and without a break. .

The bus ride in the morning was relaxed and informative. Unfortunately, the bus was so full in the afternoon that we had to sit downstairs in the luggage compartment. Unfortunately, there was no tape recorder, so we drove through a few stops without any information. It was also very stuffy and warm in the bus downstairs.Monique

You get a loose overview of the city, but the information is very brief, not very meaningful and general. For the price, the question arises as to whether one should not travel directly to visitor destinations by public transport.

The bus was foggy inside. At times there was so much moisture on the windows inside that it was hard to see. It got better on the next bus. On one of the busses there was just music and no audio-guide for about 15 minutes. Some of the passengers got the personell to restart the system. Then it worked. The routes were nice and it was good to have roof, since it rained a lot.

Good information via the headsets; hop-on hop-off is great. The only drawback was that the windows at the top of the blue bus could not be adjusted and were completely open for a long time despite the windy and changeable weather. It was sometimes really cold.
See Vienna’s best for less! Enjoy a leisurely Danube Canal cruise and an adventurous hop-on hop-off bus tour, covering all the city’s highlights with this great-value combo.
