The bus tours were disappointing. The representatives at the stops were rude and unfriendly. If you just use it as transportation it is ok, but not worth the ticket. They advertise free WiFi on board, when I told the rep it didn’t work, her response was oh well it broke. Skip it and use the trams.

We have traveled all around Europe, and often use busses like this in cities where we don’t know a lot about them. As such, they provide a good service of providing an overview of a city with historical or practical commentary. Clearly, if we knew everywhere we wanted to go, mass transit would be a better and cheaper option. Also, there are very few of these busses we’ve been on where some of the audio ports didn’t work, or some employees viewing customers as eye-roll inducing ignoramuses (it’s not a great job for anyone). But they do provide an appreciated service, and this particular one was pretty much the same as we’ve experienced all over Europe. We did wonder what a tour in the summer might be like, because even in October with the sun shining through the all the glass on the top, the upper level became positively roasting, with no air conditioning and no way to open windows. My guess would be to try to find an open air bus in the summer and wear a hat and sunglasses.

Really enjoyed this day trip. We started off by visiting the small town of Durnstein. Not much to it but we did enjoy trying (& subsequently buying!) some apricot liqueur. We then got the bus to Spitz, where we picked up the boat for a leisurely 90 minute cruise along the Danube. Thoroughly enjoyed this section of the day as we got a couple of drinks & sat on the top deck & enjoyed the views as we sailed along. We then arrived at Melk but we hadn't booked the Abbey tour. This meant we had a good 2 hours to relax and enjoy a nice lunch and also explore the town. We did visit the Abbey & got to see most of the outside as well as the Abbey shop where we purchased some wine! I would definitely recommend this tour if you've got the time when visiting Vienna.

The tour was pretty well organized. There was some confusion at the Opera meeting point—it was raining and the bus arrived late. However, once we took our seats, everything went as described. Our multilingual guide, Tomy, gave the commentary in English and Spanish. The visit to Durnstein was brief (use euro coins for the bus stop WC!), but the village itself, though charming and surrounded by vineyards, is quite small. The Danube cruise from Spitz aboard the MS Durnstein was scenic and relaxing. We ate in the floating restaurant, which was affordable and pleasant. Once in Melk, we waited around in the rain for our tour of the magnificent abbey, guided by a nice young woman, who showed us some of the highlights in the museum and library. The abbey restaurant was also a welcoming spot for a break (yummy coffee & pastries). Despite the rain, the entire all-day experience was worth it, and we're glad we took time out of our stay in Vienna to see some of the Austrian countryside.

Good fun, staff were friendly and the bus was clean. The routes are a bit drawn out so you end up driving a lot and getting stuck at the many traffic lights. On a sunny day you get decent views passing through the city. There are complimentary earphones and an audio guide in many languages available. The paper map was good too.

Great bus ride. Tour guide very detailed with information. Weather was overcast. Raining but still had a great time and pictures Boat ride was enchanting

This is a full day tour involving a 90 minute bus ride each way. First stop is an old town which is cute, but not much to see there other than tourist stores and ice cream shops. Then boarded a boat for a 90 minute boat ride up the Danube. Beautiful scenery and a nice way to spend the day if the weather is nice. But there is only a few seats outside that are shaded, so hard to be on the deck on a hot sunny day. The other two decks are basically enclosed restaurants with service. You can see well through the windows and the air conditioning is good, but would be better if there were more shaded areas with an outside breeze. After the boat ride is the town of Melk, a beautiful old town with an abbey well worth the trip. Plenty of time for lunch at a restaurant in town, but the walk back up to the abbey in time for the tour is quite a climb.

We bought single day tickets for all 3 of their lines plus the boat tour. We were unable to use most of the ticket because riding all 3 lines would take all day and maybe more. audio was informative and was well synced with what we were seeing. The .We did take the boat cruise but be aware it takes you along mostly industrial and office buildings. It was relaxing, however.

A very nice experience overall. The bus trips were nice and informative (by the tour guide), and the boat ride at 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time to spend on the boat. The stop at the Melk Abbey was nice, but I was not very impressed with the tour given by the Abbey tour guide. We are still glad we went, but were a little disappointed in this portion of the trip.

Our two young children (and our knees) really appreciated this fun way to explore the grounds of Schönbrunn, from the doors of the palace to the top at Gloriette and back again. It’s an enjoyable hop-on, hop-off ride, with added commentary so you understand what you can see. With Gloriette being so high up, it also takes a lot of the strain out of getting there and admiring the view. It takes in stops for major attractions in the park, and shows you some parts you may never come across otherwise. The price is a little steep - though it is free for the Vienna Pass - but you could ride to a lot of places.

We got the bus (3 day pass) free through the Vienna Pass (read the fine print for attractions!) and there was some wasted time. The first bus starts around 9:30 (even 9:56 if you are not taking it from the center) and the last one is at 17:40 (in August), 17:00 for off season. Ended up taking the subway to visit as much as possible. The buses come every 30 min and you only need 2 of the lines (Yellow and Blue). A 3 day subway pass is 1/3 of the price. Commentary was ok, a few fun facts and opera music.

Very beautiful,worth visiting.If you arrive with a car parking in the city center could be difficult.You have to have a lot of patience.Once you have managed to park, you can start to discover all the beauty of Hallstatt

The Day Trip was exactly as described. Our guide Thomas was great in two languages and kept us entertained on the bus. The boat ride was a relaxing way to enjoy this area of Austria. We took the Melk Abbey tour and highly recommend that as well.

This was a lovely outing from Vienna. Bratislava is an hour away by coach or catamaran. Personally preferred to sail down the Danube river. You have WiFi on catamaran, can have a drink, there’s a good bar on it. Bratislava is a nice, cosy city with interesting history. As for guides it’s hit and miss, depends what you’re interested in. You might be better exploring the city yourselves, taking a city tour with the Oldtimer City Tours on their old looking carriages that take you up to the castle. Check if the Castle is open on your day of visit. Also first Wednesday of the month the entrance is free.

Hallstatt was excellent. Bus ride a little long but it is what it is. Tour guide Claudia was superb and the bus driver was very good and safe too. Overall a fantastic experience even if it did rain throughout the day. Well worth the visit!
