Don’t use Vienna Sightseeing terrible customer service and buses end route and make you switch.
Don’t use Vienna Sightseeing bus tour. Hard to find departure points and rude bus drivers. Customer service no help. Asked for partial refund and turned down. Use Big Bus as many more buses.

Helped us get our bearings
If you are staying for a few days, do this first. It really helped us get our bearings and figure out which sights we wanted to go back and see inside.

48 hr ticket is misleading!
After booking on line, you still need to seek out the vendor’s ticket office to collect your tickets. We searched and lost much time in Vienna as the instructions didn’t mention the office was in the opera house. When we got there just after 5pm, they were closed. So much for purchasing a “48 hours” plan. Btw, they don’t run 24 hours. On day 2 we did finally collect our tickets and found at the end of day, the stated “last bus” left 10 minutes early (before we could get there) so had to Uber back to town. Overall, very unhappy. Should have just bought a ticket on site (other company) instead of booking on line.

Vienna Austria Haahh⁸ Hop Offbad «experiences experience
We purchased our Vienna Austria HOHO 'tickets' online using its popluar FLEXI PASS (alt VIENNA PASS) e-commerce system. We received our order code for 6 different activitues with FLEXI PASS. We then redeemed our HOHO order code at the bus stop upon arriving Vienna. The only problem is that the tickets is actually a very "THIN" grocery paper receipt, it looks just like a grocery store or souvenir shop or credit receipt. So I accidentally cleared my wallet of all receipts, forgotten about this 72-hour ticket which I was supposed to keep for 72 hours. Anyhow, HOHO staffs and management would not even consider to RE-PRINT another 'ticket receipt' for us. They just told us to buy another ticket. HOHO gives you substandard VERY THIN paper ticket, and expect you to lost it so then they can sell you another unnecessary ticket make more profit.

First and last time using HOHO
Expensive for what you get, and even though buses were supposed to come every 20 minutes we had to wait 45 minutes at one stop. The driver did not pull into the byway where the stop was.

Vienna Hop On Hop Off City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna Hop On Hop Off City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Vienna Hop On Hop Off City 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 Vienna is not rushed.
Is Vienna Hop On Hop Off City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 913 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vienna Hop On Hop Off City 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 Vienna Hop On Hop Off City 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 Vienna Hop On Hop Off City Tour?
+
Around 320 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vienna Hop On Hop Off City 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 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 Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. 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.
