AVOID CITY SIGHTSEEING - take BIG BUS instead!
TRAVEL TIP FOR PRAGUE: You really don’t need the Hop-On Hop-Off bus. Prague is very walkable, and Uber is easy and convenient. But if you still want to book one, AVOID CITY SIGHTSEEING. Based on our experience, the schedule was unclear, the buses started late, and they were far too infrequent. We wasted so much time waiting that we eventually gave up and never even got to use the booking we paid for. Go with BIG BUS instead. We saw their buses much more frequently around the city, and they were far more visible and easier to spot. In the end, we just walked and took Uber and that turned out to be much more efficient and enjoyable. Save yourself the waiting time. Prague is too beautiful to spend it standing around for a bus!
Response from the operator: We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with City Sightseeing Prague. 🙏 We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience unclear schedules, late departures and long waiting times, especially when this meant you were unable to use the ticket you had purchased. We would like to investigate what happened during your visit. Please contact us with your booking details so our team can follow up with you directly. City Sightseeing Prague Team

Officially Scamed
I had the worst experience anyone could have. 1. Waited 40mins for the bus. They have very limited buses 2. Bus stop no.1 bule line and theres a girl operators were very rude. 3. We took 48hrs tickets and didnt had a chance to catch yellow bus and red. I would not recommend taking City Sightseeing; instead, take a big bus tour they are much better.

I do not recommend it.. with the fortune spent on the bus and boat.
We felt completely scammed. Before buying the combined bus and boat ticket, we asked SEVERAL times if we could get on and off the boat throughout the day, and they assured us that we could without any problem. Lie. As soon as we arrived, they tore off our ticket without hesitation and told us no, that it was not like that. As if that were not enough, then they told us that we could use the bus lines until 6:00 PM... that was not true either. Come on, they kept giving us false information one after another, changing their version as it suited them. And as if that were not enough, the supposed audio guide in Spanish DOES NOT work on most of the lines, only on the blue one. A disaster. We paid a fortune to receive a pathetic service and on top of that they lied to our faces several times. An absolute lack of professionalism and respect for the customer.

Average experience.
Average experience for this company. Blue line, small bus, nice guide. Swapped to red line as advised but bigger older vehicles and audio guide system not good, swapped back to blue line for better experience! Tour also disrupted by parade in city centre but handled well by guide and company!
via Tripadvisor
Hop on hop off bus Prague blue and red line.
Bus ride too fast to see sights, guide spoke too fast to understand, commentary hard to match with buildings. Hard to find bus stop when changing line if you don’t get of at the stop you want to get back on at. Bus over an hour late for pick up from Prague Castle and when it arrived it was the last bus so couldn’t get off at any more sights. Sights not that great as not able to see much if you stay on bus. Would not recommend. Try viewing sights by tram instead. A local advised us tram is much better value for money.

City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.
Is City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Prague?
+
On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Historic Pub Tour with Drinks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Prague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Prague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Included: Enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi on board; Hop off near must-see sights; Discover more with 2 hop-on hop-off routes; and 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour to enjoy amazing views. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is City Sightseeing Prague Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian, German, Finnish, Swedish, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Greek, English, Croatian, Italian, French, Hungarian, Spanish, Czech, Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Danish, Hebrew, Turkish and Dutch. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
