Bus driver's horrible behavior.
From Prague to Brno, on the 2nd of March 2025 with Regiojet bus the trip was fine. Approaching Vienna the bus driver accelerated, causing travel sickness to my wife. At Vienna International Bus Station stop, after some passengers left, me and my wife got off the bus for some fresh air and in seconds we got on the bus again, but in the hurry her handbag fell outside the bus. She realized it immediately approaching her seat and in a second she went to the driver and asked him politely to stop, so that she would catch her handbag. The driver answered ''I don't speak English!'' turned his head and accelerated!!! I approached him also and asked him to stop. He showed to me his watch and said ''late''. My wife was in a shock, her handbag with her ID, cell phone etc was left only about 30 to 50 meters behind... The driver did not bother to ask another passenger to translate, in order to help us at this emergency situation! He did not respond as he should, ignored us, behaving in a completely inappropriate way! No other bus was behind and he could easily drive backwards.. At the Vienna airport the air company officer excluded the possibility to board without ID. Consequently we were obliged to stay two days in Vienna till the next flight to Greece and of course to buy new tickets, all this at a great cost of money and also at a great psychological suffering. Asking for compensation from the Regiojet company, the answer is negative till today!

Well organized trip
The toilet was not working in the couch and there was big break (45 minutes) in the return which affected the return time. All the rest were very well organized

Day ruined by Yo Tours
We were supposed to be picked up at our hotel in Vienna. It was confirmed by the tour operators, Yo Tours. At 7 a.m., we went and stood outside our hotel for over an hour. I tried calling twice (number was identified as calling India) and never got any results. I feel like I was scammed out of $340.00. Do not book anything with Yo Tours.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, thanks for your feedback this is very strange, this never happens, we really apologise for the experience and your amount was duly refunded I could check.

You have to commit on the...
You have to commit on the service details as the pick up from the hotel. It's bad to change your mind and obligates your client on last minute to go on the meeting point. Also to dropping off .. it's worst actually
Response from the operator: Dear lily thanks for the feedback, please note than as a policy if your booking is less than 24 hours from the travel date we cannot provide hotel pickup, we took your confirmation as well, without confirmation we do not do plan anything. Your understanding and adherence to policy is appreciated.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours 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 Vienna is not rushed.
Is Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna?
+
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 Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna?
+
Around 3 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 Vienna 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 Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Day Trip to Hallstatt with a local from Vienna 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 Vienna 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 Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna. 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 Vienna?
+
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 Vienna?
+
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.
