The tour was as described. We traveled both lines and saw a lot.
Unfortunately the air conditioning was defective in one bus. At 35 degrees it was like being in a sauna. We then changed to the next one. Here everything was okay again.
Buses left every 20 minutes as described. You never had to wait long. That was really great. They weren't overcrowded either.
Could generally be a bit cheaper. But apart from that everything was great.

We always like to use the hop-on hop-off bus tour for our city tours. It gives you a great overview of the sights and you can hop on and off at any stop.
So far we've done this in Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Vienna and Budapest - everything went really well!

The bus drivers were friendly and helpful throughout. The waiting times were a maximum of 20 minutes. I live in Vienna. But it was nice to explore the city with my son in this way. The only downside. One bus had no air conditioning in the lower section.

We could get on and off everywhere. We enjoyed the sightseeing tour on the blue and red lines. And we were able to see everything. The best part was the "city center" near the opera house. And the Prater for our kids.

Interesting tour with brief but comprehensive explanations related to the various monuments and their history. Due to lack of time I could not visit them, but did the whole tour on board the bus. However, experience to be repeated...with more time available!

The experience was good, but it could have been better. It is not very well explained where the buses leave from, and where they arrive, the drivers are not very friendly and do not help the tourist. The drivers do not speak a word of English, living in a city as touristic as VIENNA, I think that is unacceptable. The stops are not clear, the services of the different colors of the tourist bus are confused.

Route, description, music Note: unfortunately very long waiting times, a 25-minute interval would be perfect. The yellow bus from the competition came by more often. With the large volume of traffic, there should be 2 more buses. That was a pity.

The staff were not always friendly, especially one of the drivers who was rude and incorrect, the heat, due to the plexiglass roof on the outside (there are buses that don't have roofs in hot weather...for 42 euros, you'd expect a certain level of comfort!) the content, which deserves to be explored in greater depth.

An uncomplicated way to get to know a city. It's best to buy a ticket for 2 days. Slightly more expensive, but worth it. Very detailed information in many languages via headphones. It is a bit tricky to adjust them. Buses stop at the most important sights and run every 20 minutes. At least in Vienna. Highly recommended. Best to book online

With the two routes on offer, you could get a good overview of Vienna. Ideal if you can't / don't want to walk that much and want to be accompanied by an audio guide through the city. The headphones are available free of charge on the bus.

The tour is very well done and the stages are interesting but access to the starting point is not clear. When I clicked on the link to the starting point, I was connected to Google maps, but the address was not correct for the bus stop. It wasn't on the right street. And upstream, it didn't say that we couldn't start the tour at any point.

I was unpleasantly surprised that I had to pick up the tickets in the city center.
I ordered and paid online and was planning to hop on a location close to my appartment.
I however had to book a taxi to go to the city center to pick up my tickets.
What's the use of ordering online then? How easy is it to provide a code when ordering online that serves as a ticket?
Sorry, this is really old fashioned and will not consider ordering online again

The staff were very friendly and the buses arrived at the stops on time. Changing buses, e.g. from the yellow to the blue line, also went quickly and without any problems. The background noise and the music of the announcer were a little annoying, so that the announcements were not always clear to understand. We would have preferred music only between the explanations. We can recommend the tour.

A very comprehensive insight into the history and geography of this time-honored city! The multilingual guide is informative and entertaining, thankfully not gendered. Broad and deep introduction, well structured, broken up by appropriate music. Unfortunately some technical glitches - please wait more carefully! The real departure times should be communicated more transparently, there is no air conditioning in the heat.

The number of lines allows everyone to choose their own route. Explanations are sometimes very succinct. The choice of languages is important. On the other hand, the number of headsets per passenger could be limited. Self-service doesn't help avoid this waste. We could also organize eco-friendly driving for the drivers.

I was expecting to be able to board a bus straight away when I bought online. That wasn't clear to me when I made the purchase. Only after booking did I receive the information that I had to travel to a certain stop to redeem the ticket first. I hadn't planned for that. In addition, as a group of 11 people, we deliberately didn't get off the bus because we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to get back on together at an intermediate stop because the buses were so full and only a few people got off at a time. It would be better if you knew in advance that you would get a seat. For example, if you can reserve seats or similar.

Great intro to Vienna. We did the Hop On Hop Off with the Danube cruise + Giant Ferris Wheel combo—excellent value—but you can’t cover all routes in one day, so plan two. Buses were punctual, views from the top deck were brilliant despite the crowds. Highlights: Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Belvedere (hello, Klimt), and Prater’s Giant Ferris Wheel for sweeping city views. The Danube cruise was a relaxing reset. Memorable, flexible, and efficient way to see the city.

The instructions to get the physical tickets were not clear, we lost time figuring out how to do it. Once the tickets were obtained on the bus, the customer service for the boat was very bad, we were running out of time and the lady at the counter decided not to let us pass for the long tour even though they were waiting for us to board, due to the loss of time we could not complete the bus tour for an hour and we were not able to board the boat. We were waiting to board, because of the loss of time we could not complete the bus tour because of the time and we got off at a stop and they told us that we could not continue the next day, so it was not for 24 hours!!!! Fiera of that all very nice

Day of excessive unbearable heat and the buses are not prepared with aa. Up there the sun was scorching and to top it off they finish running very early, they should be running at times of the day when it is as hot as from 7pm.

The auto guide gave very little detail about Vienna. The audio was mostly music and a reminder to take your ear buds. Do detail about what time the bus schedule was. When the last bus was. And we got off to take a cruise and the employee at the stop had NO information about a cruise. The audio said they would have info. So we got off with no place to go. And a LONG wait for the next bus. It was an over all waste of time.

Ticket guy was super helpful and he helped me when I discovered that I had booked the Budapest tour instead of the Vienna one. But the problem was that during the tour I couldn't hear the live tour lady well, and my audio didn't work so I couldn't hear anything actually.. no description. Overall, it was ok but it could have been better.

The instructions about the meeting point were extremely confusing. In the email I got an address and two street view screenshots, all 3 of them point ing at a different location around the Viennese Opera house. In the email it was also said that I have to exchange my voucher for a ticket at the redemption point. We ended up just asking the staff at what seemed to be one of the regular hop on-hop off busses, hoping they would know where is the meeting point and/or the ticket redemption point. It turned out, that was the bus for the night-tour (had no any kind of signs saying so), and no ticket redemption was necessary at all. The timing of the audio guide pointing out the famous sights, was quite off several times, which is probably to be expected based on how heavy is the traffic in the city, but if this was my first or one and only time in the city I would have been utterly confused. The highlight of the whole tour was definitely the soundengineering decision to put two gunshot sound effects after the audioguide mentions the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

What to bring
Hop-on-hop-off bus tour
- Bring a printed or digital ticket along with a valid photo ID, as some ticket types require scanning a QR code at the validator when boarding.
- Carry a power bank or spare battery, as live bus tracking and app-based route maps can drain your phone during the tour.
- Pack an umbrella or raincoat, since many buses have open-top seating and sudden weather changes can make the ride uncomfortable.
Schönbrunn Palace
- Wear comfortable walking shoes; the grounds are vast, and even the State Rooms alone can take a few hours to explore fully.
- Pack weather-appropriate clothing: lightweight, breathable layers in summer; warm layers, waterproof outerwear, hats, gloves, and scarves in winter.
- Carry a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect against sun exposure when exploring the gardens in summer.
Belvedere Palace
- Wear comfortable, closed footwear to manage the expansive grounds, steep terraces, and long walks through the gardens and between buildings.
- Bring a smartphone with audio-guide functionality or the Smartify app to scan artworks and access detailed information that enhances your visit.
- Carry cash or a card for café purchases at spots like the Menagerie Café in the Upper Belvedere.
What’s not allowed
Hop-on-hop-off bus tour
- Pets are not allowed, except for dogs that are leashed, muzzled, and under knee height, with a maximum of one dog permitted per bus.
- Luggage, bicycles, or similarly large items are not permitted onboard and must be stored separately, as space is limited.
- Avoid using personal speakers or making loud phone calls to ensure everyone can enjoy the audio commentary.
Schönbrunn Palace
- Drones, selfie sticks, tripods, flash photography, and lighting equipment are prohibited at Schönbrunn. You may only use your mobile phone for non-commercial photos.
- There is no storage available for luggage, umbrellas, large bags, or extra clothing, so please travel light and leave unnecessary items behind.
- Pets are not permitted on the tour, so be sure to make arrangements for them ahead of time if needed.

Belvedere Palace
- Photography is allowed only for private, non-commercial use and must be without flash, tripods, or selfie-sticks; certain rooms or exhibits also explicitly prohibit photography.

Accessibility
Hop-on-hop-off bus tour
- Most Vienna hop-on hop-off buses are wheelchair accessible, but availability is limited and often requires prior coordination with the provider.
- Mobile app tracking and live route maps can help wheelchair users locate accessible boarding stops and plan the most comfortable route.
Schönbrunn Palace
- This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users, as parts of Schönbrunn Palace can only be reached via staircases and there is no step-free access to several of the historic State Rooms.
Belvedere Palace
- The Belvedere Palace is wheelchair accessible, featuring ramps and elevators throughout Upper and Lower Belvedere.
- Wheelchairs may be borrowed free of charge at cloakrooms or ticket offices.
- Accessible toilets are available in all primary buildings; seating is provided in galleries, and folding stools are also available at cloakrooms.
- Service dogs are welcome, provided they are registered on a Disability Card.
- Although the gardens are accessible via step-free paths, we recommend bringing a companion for assistance, as the sloped terrace between the Upper and Lower Belvedere is not fully barrier-free.
Additional information
Hop-on-hop-off bus tour
- Vienna hop-on-hop-off buses run across multiple routes (Red, Blue, Yellow), covering up to 50 stops, including major sights such as Schönbrunn Palace, the Belvedere, Prater, and the Ringstrasse.
- Buses generally operate from around 9:30am until 5pm, with departures every 15 to 30 minutes depending on the route and time of year.
- Seating is first-come, first-served, so during peak seasons such as summer and the Christmas market period, it’s best to arrive early, especially if you want an upper-deck seat with the best views.
- Use live bus tracking and downloadable route maps before or during your journey to plan your timing and connections more efficiently.
Schönbrunn Palace
- Depending on the tickets you choose, you’ll meet your guide at either the Group Center, the Ehrenhof Fountain (look for the green umbrella), or the Arrival Center at HOHO Bus Stop 30. Check your booking confirmation for the exact location.
- Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, as latecomers will not be allowed to join the tour.
- The tour is conducted in only one language, which is selected at the time of booking, so please choose your preferred language carefully.
- Each tour is limited to a maximum of 25 participants to ensure a more personal and engaging experience.
- In the event of extreme weather conditions such as snow, the garden portion of the tour may be skipped for safety reasons. From November 8 to January 6, a visit to a local Christmas Market will be offered instead.
Belvedere Palace
- Visiting early in the day or post‑3pm can help you avoid crowds, as the period between 11am and 2pm tends to be busiest.
- Enjoy a pause at cafés like Menagerie Café and the Lucy Bar, where you can relax with refreshments and take in the views before continuing your tour.
- You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

Although the tickets in the app said they could be used directly at the Belvedere Palace, at the entrance the tickets were not recognized. The digital tickets (available on the App) clearly said that it was not necessary to exchange them for physical tickets, as the digital tickets were accepted. After 30 minutes of phone calls to various locations by Belvedere Palace staff and receiving proof that we had paid for the tickets, we were allowed to visit the Palace.

I was denied entry at the Schonbrunn Palace - they said they were sold out of tickets and could not redeem my voucher. I contacted support and asked for a prorated refund for the amount associated with the Schonbrunn Palace tour and even had a Schonbrunn Palace representative speak with Headout support to confirm the denial of my entry. Headout said they needed written confirmation from the venue that my entry was indeed denied.

A beautifully designed zoo located right in the lovely gardens of Schönbrunn Palace. The entire area is well-maintained, clean, and perfect for a relaxing walk. We saw a polar bear in real life for the very first time it was truly a memorable experience. Our 2-year-old daughter loved it especially the animals, playgrounds, and the overall friendly atmosphere. We really appreciated that there were snack bars and toilets around every corner a huge plus for families with young children. Definitely recommended for families!

The tour was as described. We traveled both lines and saw a lot.
Unfortunately the air conditioning was defective in one bus. At 35 degrees it was like being in a sauna. We then changed to the next one. Here everything was okay again.
Buses left every 20 minutes as described. You never had to wait long. That was really great. They weren't overcrowded either.
Could generally be a bit cheaper. But apart from that everything was great.

this zoo is beautiful. It's clean, a beautiful environment for the animals, lots of interactive elements, and yet you get the atmosphere of one of the oldest zoos in the world. Entry with tickets purchased online was instantaneous. It definitely wasn't our last time here. Here's the translation of your text into English: This zoo is wonderful. Clean, with a beautiful environment for the animals, lots of interactive features, and yet you can still feel the atmosphere of one of the oldest zoos in the world. Entry with tickets purchased online was immediate. We will definitely not be visiting for the last time.

Loved the walk through areas with the birds and sloths. As for the pandas...😍😍😍 Made 2 visits to the panda house, boy was I glad. I got to witness the female panda wake up and enjoy a feast of bamboo! Amazing zoo, so celan, not too crowded and the beautiful sunshine made the visit even more enjoyable.

We really enjoyed it 👍 my son was impressed from the animals and the acquarios inside 😍 the park was wonderful and everything was well maintained and organised . Many shoppers and restorants were inside the zoo where we can rest or enjoy food and drinks with your kid. My experience was really memorable. The toilets requires more attention and cleaning.

We could get on and off everywhere. We enjoyed the sightseeing tour on the blue and red lines. And we were able to see everything. The best part was the "city center" near the opera house. And the Prater for our kids.

A brilliant solution for buying tickets without waiting in line. The zoo is fantastic, intuitive, and, in my opinion, friendly to both animals and people, especially children.

A wonderful place to spend an entire day, with a wide variety of animals to see. What truly impresses visitors is the evident care and respect shown for them.

Great intro to Vienna. We did the Hop On Hop Off with the Danube cruise + Giant Ferris Wheel combo—excellent value—but you can’t cover all routes in one day, so plan two. Buses were punctual, views from the top deck were brilliant despite the crowds. Highlights: Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Belvedere (hello, Klimt), and Prater’s Giant Ferris Wheel for sweeping city views. The Danube cruise was a relaxing reset. Memorable, flexible, and efficient way to see the city.

The tour was informative. Good were also the phrase books in16 different languages, for children even more. Even the staff in front of the bus was extremely friendly and very very helpful. The bus driver maneuvered us skillfully through Vienna, even through the narrowest places.
