I really enjoyed this tour which provided us with a good overview of Vienna.

This tour is also good and if you want to see full city it is worth it, and the boat ride was also good

A nice tour, but I would of liked it better if the tour was just in English. The guide said everything in German and English and so as we drove by things I felt like by the time she said it in English we had already driven by it. Please have separate tours for different languages._br/_ I enjoyed the city of Vienna, though!

Stunning but I think the river cruise would be more beautiful in the evening.

This tour was a disaster. First of all, we were promised a pickup from our Hotel, the Vienna Marriott. When the concierge called, we were told that no hotel pick is arranged as they were not informed of this requirement. After having a short flight from Frankfurt, we were not left with much time however, we took a cab to their pick up point advised on the telephone. A lady at their office, did not hear about the company mentioned in Viator voucher and asked us to contact the next office. It was the same with this office but they told us to contact the main office at the opposite side of the road. It was a very hot day and we walked across and while cross the road at the traffic light, there was alady staff having the company's uniform, who was kind enough to guide us to the bus. We took a comfortable seat just behind the Guide's seat. While on the tour, the Tour Guide, rudely asked us to vacate the seat as it was reserved for the Guide. We went several places and always seen the Guide's exclusive seat just on the right side of the drive where micorphone is connected. The guide does not get up from the seat and he just murmers on the microphone in two languages which nobody understands. Personally, I do not recommend this tour to any - please choose the tour with some other Company to take the full advantage of this historic tour.

The coach sightseeing tour was just fine but the boat ride of this trip was rather disappointing simply because there were no sights to see other than an awful lot of graffiti on the walls near to disembarking. I have been on a number of other river rides, where there are many_br/_ sights to see Paris, Dresden, Budapest, also part of the Danube,to name a few, but have not been on one where i took no photo's._br/_ However it is what it is .

Don and #39;t waste your time. Boring bus ride and double boring boat ride. My wife spent the time on the boat searching for a sharp sword I could use to commit Hari Kari_br/_ We both wanted to dive in and swim away _br/_ Honestly we would have been better spending the money on diesel and driving ourselves around._br/_ G

This was a combination bus-and-boat tour of Vienna, and nearly lasted to 4 hours. Pickup was at hour hotel Hotel Am Stephensplatz, in the center of the inner city. The pickup took us to a bus depot, where we boarded for a tour of Vienna highlights, heading towards where the river boats were waiting on the edge of the Danube.

Although the trip was accurately described it was probably the poorest trip I have been on with viator as the others have been brilliant.

It was in numerous languages, which was cool. But all from the same guy. So the entire tour, only about a quarter of it was what you can understand. And the boat was very hot, but it's what you get in late July. Still informative with nice views.

This was a good experience just getting into Vienna. The tour guide hit some highlights, but the bus driver went too fast past a few of the areas. The boat ride was nice and relaxing and the food on the boat was limited but tasty.

Boat trip unexciting and spent too much time sitting in the canal lock.
 

Review by:   Shona N,    September 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
The boat trip was the best part of this tour. Didn't see much more of Vienna than we did using the underground. Very annoying to listen to three different languages and we were never quite sure if we were seeing the sights the tour guide was telling us about. Wouldn't recommend this trip .

Enjoyed the city tour and visit to Vienna Woods prior to our boat trip on the Danube. Our guide was very informative and even though he had to repeat his information in 3 languages he never missed any points of interest. Recommend this tour especially if your stay in Vienna is short.
 

Review by:   Izzytrevisan,    September 2016 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
Our group of 6 took the bus tour of Vienna which was followed by the boat cruise on the Danube. It was great to be picked up at our hotel to start the bus tour! On the other hand it was very difficult to understand our guide and we weren't sure if it was our guide or the sound system on the bus. We had the same issue on the boat cruise so overall the tour was a total disappointment.

Review by:   mark s,    July 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
This was a bit disappointing actually. I wanted to see so much of Vienna but the bus never stopped at any of the sights we wanted to see. We drove around through the streets where things and places were just pointed out. The tour guide was nice and tried hard but doing the commentary in two languages made it quite tiresome. The Danube boat ride was nice and the best part and I was particularly impressed going through the lock. Now although all passengers got drinks, not all got meals as the organisation of it all was a bit messy. After the cruise we were taken up to vienna woods where we could get out and stroll about. We were quite over it by this stage and the bus was very crowded. So glad we saw Belvedere palace in the morning otherwise we would have seen very little of Vienna. Could have been much better. Disappointed

Este tour é pobre em locais de interesse. O guia demasiado monocórdico. Muito pouca informação histórica. Os locais visitados dizem respeito à periferia de Viena com pouca passagem por edifícios históricos. A passagem no rio sem interesse algum, barco restaurante com desagradável cheiro peixe frito.

This was the worst tour I've ever been on, and I have traveled to Europe multiple times. My best friend and I were horrified. The guide Ernest never introduced himself or the driver or welcomed us to Vienna. He sat down on the bus, didn't turn around once, and began with So the Danube... The tour was conducted in English and German which we did not expect and cut down on the guide's time to deliver info in either language. We did not see ONE famous site in Vienna -- not the Imperial Palace, not Belvedere, not Rathaus, not St. Stephen's, etc. NOTHING. We passed by a few houses diplomats live in how exciting and were dropped off at a lookout for 20 min where there was literally nothing to see or do. We also passed by a hideous house the guide wanted us to see that was inspired by the work of Gaudi, and it was not impressive in the least. Then the bus took us to the cruise, which was also a disappointment. We traveled a few miles back and forth on the boat, saw nothing but graffiti,no sites or beautiful buildings, and the guide didn't even stay with us for the tour. The kitchen closed 20 min into the cruise so if you didn't order food early you were out of luck. The boat dropped us off in city center and it was as it if was painful for Ernest to explain to anyone where any sites were in the nearby area. He wasn't friendly or personable and I hope he wasn't expecting a tip. My friend and I had to spend unexpectedly the next day to get Hop On Hop Off bus passes in order to ACTUALLY SEE THE SITES OF VIENNA WHICH IS WHAT THE TOUR WAS FOR. What a horrid disappointment, I would recommend this to no one as it was a colossal waste of money and our first afternoon in Vienna on a trip with limited time.

This was a great tour. We learned a lot from our very nice tour guide while we were traveling through Vienna on a very comfortable tour bus. And the boat ride along the Danube was great. There is food and beverage available for purchase on the boat, we got to go through a lock along the river and see parts of Vienna we know we'd not have seen otherwise. Then that finishes off with the bus taking you up into the woods for a great view of the city and more so the chance to see a beautiful, quaint part of Vienna that is completely opposite of the city life. Very enjoyable and just the right length.

Review by:   Ed G M,    September 2015 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
the pic is misleading. We did not see any of the historical sites of Vienna,and there are many! We spent most of 2hours driving around various parts of the Danube river and had a nice drive into the Vienna woods. The boat cruise was OK but the announcements were not loud enough to hear and most of the trip was of little or no historical interest. The guide was very knowledgeable but it would be more valuable to hear some of the incredible history of the city instead of hearing over and over again about the efforts to save the city from a flooding Danube River. I would recommend a hop on hop off bus tour which also includes the river cruise and is much cheaper. Take a pass on this tour if you want to learn about and see some historic sites of the city.

Review by:   Jane L,    July 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
The highlight of this tour was a stop at a cafe to try the local wine, the wine was really nice and the views were great. I quite liked the coach tour but enjoyed one of the walking tour more as I thought you could see more. The boat trip was good but didn't like the long stop while we were at the lock and had to wait for the water to level of , although this was necessary and couldn't be helped.
 

Review by:   Carole M,    July 2015 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
I was disappointed with this one. We didn't see much from the bus as it can't go anywhere near the historic city centre and the boat ride was nothing special. Not much to see on the river. Plus it was very hot and the boat was not air conditioned. I was glad to get off
 

Review by:   G E S,    July 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
All was fine except that the tour guide was doing the tour in 3 languages, so we felt that he had to rush through things and therefore, the information of the various sites was minimal.
 

Review by:   Grant B,    July 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
The boat trip was long and boring. It was just an exercise to sell us food and beer. The bus trip was informative but the sights we saw were not that interesting. Spent a long time driving around picking people up and all in all not a great tour
 

Review by:   Helen S,    June 2015 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
City tour prior to the Danube boat ride was good. The driver had skills to maneuver in tight streets. The tour guide spoke perfect English except he spoke 3 different languages the entire time so you had to concentrate to hear what he had to say. We would not do the Danube boat ride again, half of the time was spent waiting for the river locks for water to be lowered.

Stiflingly hot in the boat. No air conditioning and few windows to open. Spent most of the time sitting at the locks waiting.
 

Review by:   Shiuly H,    April 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
Coach tour was better than the boat tour. _br/_ Tour guide gave an in-depth teaching of the history of Vienna and we went to a few significant points of the city. The boat ride was short and unfortunately the river that goes through Vienna, unfortunately you don't see many landmarks- but you do see a lot of graffiti. The trip is worth it if you're there for over a week, but if it's a short trip don't bother.

This tour was supposed to be in English but since local company I assume had a shortage of buses or guides, they put German, English and French together! The guide gave the explanation first in French and it seems to go on forever! Then the English and it seemed shorter explanation. It is not pleasant to here another language for hours!

We first took a bus that took us to interesting landmarks and then the Vienna Woods. Great guide, very knowledgeable. The river part was nice as long as we were on the Danube but then the boat goes into the canal for the last part. It is not as nice. If you go, try to sit outside at the back or upstairs. 7 out of 10.
 

Review by:   DrBreiner,    August 2014 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
We were loaded onto a boat with a very large group of unruly, uncontrolled, loud, rude children who ruined the entire trip. Just trying to get onboard was a challenge as the kids pushed and shoved their way past others who were in line trying to board the boat, they tried to push my wife and I aside just to board faster. They were totally unmanaged and ran all over the boat with no guidance. Most of the time there was no explanation of what sights we were passing and when there was narration the children were making so much noise we could not hear what was being said. I don't know who was in charge of these children but they failed miserably in controlling their beharior._br/_ Most of what we saw on the canal was great examples of graffitti all over the walls of the canal, no monuments or buildings of note. We did the Seine river cruise the week before and it was wonderful, good music, narration and great sights._br/_ I would not recommend this tour to anyone, it was a waste of money. There were many other adult passengers I spoke with who will voice the same opinion.

My husband and I loved the Vienna sightseeing tour with a Danube boat ride during our brief stay at such beautiful and historical city in Germany.Our palace guide was very knowledgeable and detailed-oriented person. We must say that we almost missed the whole tour altogether...It was the courtesy of a Vienesse young man who was able to call a taxi to drive us directly to the bus station who saved our tour. Danke Gundel...wherever you are... And what a tour that was: Fantastic!
 

Review by:   Diane B,    August 2014 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
This tour is by bus and boat. The tour company picked us up at the hotel which was a very nice way to start the tour. We were with a small group of 6 persons with our tour guide, Tom. We toured many of the important areas of Vienna with past and present significance to the city. We also went to Conzel, an area just outside of the city in the hills. Unfortunately it was raining and the city views were somewhat obscured but beautiful none the less. The driver then drove us to a tour boat on the Danube River. It has a restaurant on board for refreshments and food. The ride was very relaxing and again we saw city sights from another perspective of the river.
