The bus had no/very little AC and so it was extremely hot, especially when stuck in traffic. Other than that there were some good stops and interesting facts. Most stops cost extra, so getting the Vienna card is smart.
We saw a lot of Vienna and the three lines were well organized. The staff were very helpful with questions.

The frequency of buses makes it easy to visit the important points of the city. New and comfortable buses, the audio guide explains in detail everything you see.

I learned a lot of information about the history and the city, very interesting. Simply a great idea to explore the city!
View original review in German
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.

You can get around Vienna, but the buses don't always run as frequently as indicated. Instead of every 20 minutes, the bus should come every hour. So you can't really plan your tour effectively.

We saw a lot of Vienna. However, the buses were far too full on the return journey. And we had to wait about 40 minutes.
View original review in German
It's a great way of getting around and seeing the sights of Vienna. Operator needs to do more to control queue's onto Bus. We were the first to get on but people snuck in the back entrance of bus and we were left without seats a few times and got told we had to wait for next bus.
An absolute must for first-time visitors to Vienna. Hop on and off wherever you want. This gives you a good first overview.

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.

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.

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.

The audio-guided tour was really interesting and the bus drivers were friendly and drove carefully... We also really enjoyed the walking tour through the city center with Lukas Forster. He guided us through the city center for almost two hours and it was very entertaining, interesting and funny. He was very personable. All in all, a great experience. We would book the Hop-On Hop-Off bus again and again. Thank you!

We liked the audio guide and the accompanying music. Unfortunately, it was very warm and we would have appreciated air conditioning. The bus heated up very quickly through the plexiglass window. But Vienna is a wonderful city and we really enjoyed it. It was not the last time we were here.

Very good audio guide 1st bus: jolts that make you sick( blue line) Long waits at stops. I prefer the red line. 2h: too long Having taken a 2-day pass, we only used it for one day, as it was better to do EVERYTHING on foot. Too many similarities between the 2 lines...for the center.

We did the blue tour first. Unfortunately we were unlucky with the weather, it was raining so the windows in the upper part were very steamed up on the inside and wet on the outside and we couldn't see very well. The audio guide was not at the same time as the sights, i.e. we were already past when the sights were described. We had expected more information, it was very dry. On the red tour the seats upstairs were mostly wet. The heating was very warm.

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

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.

Evening Tour
I loved how knowledgeable the tour guide was. The only thing that needs improvement is managing the crowd on the bus. There were passengers that were drinking and also conversing pretty loudly, which made it difficult to hear the tour guide at times.
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.
So a night-time bus tour in an unheated bus at almost 0° with steamed-up windows in the dark makes no sense. :-;

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.

Easy to exchange for the tickets to both palaces.
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.

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.
No ticketing issues, the red route took us to a lot of places we would not have seen otherwise. Audio commentary was one of the best Hop on Hop off we have experienced
The park is beautiful and very well maintained. The paths are wide and the circular route is very well designed with footpaths so that we couldn't miss anything. The animal enclosures are also larger than those at Cologne Zoo and lovingly designed to suit the species.

The polar bear was awesome. However, I am not sure how happy he is in his relatively small area.
Our visit to Schönbrunn Zoo was simply fantastic. The entire complex is very well maintained, lovingly designed and offers unforgettable impressions for young and old. You can see everywhere how much heart and commitment goes into running the zoo. We would particularly like to highlight the giraffe enclosure - a real highlight! The giraffes have plenty of space there, a beautifully designed environment and there are great opportunities to observe them up close. The large window fronts in the indoor area provide a fascinating view of these elegant animals - almost at eye level! The accompanying information on the way of life and protection of giraffes was also exciting and suitable for children.

I am very impressed by the way in which each animal has been given thought to both its natural habitat and the other animals it can coexist with. The animals are in their most natural environment possible and at the same time very close to the visitors.I am very impressed with the pandas and koalas. This is the best zoo I have ever been to.
