“This is a scam. We were instructed to pick up tickets at a specified address. Went there but could not find the office at that location. Phone was not answering. The next day we called and told to send an e-mail for refund. It has been a month and no answer to several e-mails. We paid $700 for 4 people and lost the money!”

“Os ônibus estavam cheios, não tinha lugar suficiente para sentar. Mas o pior foi ao descer na linha vermelha no ponto número 8, esperei por mais de 30 minutos e o ônibus não passou, eu precisei chamar um Uber para deixar o local. Em relação ao passeio de barco, não tinha lugar suficiente para todos no barco algumas pessoas tiveram que deixar as instalações. A roda gigante foi muito legal, a única parte do passeio que realmente valeu a pena.”
Build your Vienna visit around a 48-hour Big Bus tour, Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere, and optional Danube cruise and Riesenrad ride. You get seven days from first use to complete three, four, or five attractions, with audio commentary and app-based route tracking.
“Flexibility and frequency of buses. Great guides and very helpful and friendly staff on hop on hop off buses.”
Pick a palace, a hall or a table.
