    We purchased the Big Bus...

    Leslie_S, Oct 2025
    We purchased the Big Bus Tour with the 4 attraction pass including the Chondron Palace tour. We were not informed that we still to get the tickets and fall in line for hours and so there were a lot of time waisted and not able to use what was on that package. The reason we prepaid this is to avoid waisted time and there’s a lot of miscommunication here including the Big Bus operators. I wouldn’t use Viator next time.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hi Leslie_S, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! It really helps us to improve our services. We are very sorry that the redemption process of our tickets caused inconveniences. We really hope that you will consider giving us another try in the future, as we are sure you would have a better time! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

    Charming Vienna

    Connie_S, Sep 2025
    The combo package is a great value and expedites planning, but it's not the best On/Off Bus we've experienced. We always book on/off buses in our extensive travels. It helps acclimate us to the area and choose what is important to us to visit. In Vienna, they're efficient with timely drop off and pick up intervals, but the audio guide isn't helpful and the areas aren't clear. The Old Town (always our favorite in European cities) was not mentioned, not well marked or clear. Perhaps because Vienna is such a a big city and everything far away from the other, but the tour left us unimpressed with Vienna. It wasn't until we set out on foot exploring on our own, before we felt it's charm.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Hello Connie, thank you for your candid review. We're delighted to learn that you enjoyed exploring Vienna on foot. However, we regret that our hop on/hop off service did not meet your expectations. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can discuss this matter further. We're pleased to hear that you found our prices to be a great value, and we look forward to welcoming you on board again soon. Thank you, Alice w/Big Bus Tours

    A great way to see Vienna

    Susan_M, Sep 2025
    There is so much to see and this was a great deal. Everything was easy to access and the Big Bus staff were extremely helpful.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Hi Susan, we are delighted to learn that you have enjoyed our Vienna Pass: Schonbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise, and we appreciate your feedback. We encourage you to explore our other cities where we operate, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming you on board again soon. Alice w/Big Bus Tours

    The information for using...

    Raymond_V, Aug 2025
    The information for using the ticket is very confusing and the app is too clunky! When you board the Big Bus, make sure the driver prints out ALL tickets for your activities. Our first driver didn't and another driver couldn't print out tickets because he didn't have the machine. The bus tickets do not allow entry to the attractions. You need to get the specific entry ticket at the attraction itself with your Big Bus ticket. The instructions where to get the entry tickets for the attractions are printed on the Big Bus ticket, but it varies from attraction to attraction. Be aware that you will not be able to get in the attraction straight away but only at the allocated time on your ticket. We lost a lot of time trying to figure out the system.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Hi Raymond_V, Thank you for taking your time to write your feedback! We apologise for the confusion created regarding the ticket redemption process. Normally our drivers are able to print the tickets for all the attractions on your booking. The instructions on how to use your tickets can be found on our website. You can also contact us via Live chat on our website if you need any help, as our team is there 24/7 for you. We hope that you will consider riding with us again, as we are sure you would have a better time! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

    Coat effective way to see the city

    Sarah_G, Mar 2025
    Very handy to have the tickets for the palaces pre booked so I didn’t have to queue at the ticket office. Staff on the hop on/off bus tour were brilliant. The routes were good too

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    Dear Sarah, thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experiences at Schonbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus, and the Cruise. Don't forget to check out our other locations, and we hope to see you again soon. Warm regards, Alice with Big Bus Tours.

    Waste my Money

    JOSIE_D, Dec 2024
    I regret to say that I did not enjoy this event due to unforeseen difficulties. Despite paying $125.64, I was unable to load the voucher. I attempted to communicate with the Big Bus staff, but unfortunately, they did not speak English, and showing them the confirmation number did not resolve the issue. I subsequently contacted the tour operator via text message, and although they provided instructions, the problem persisted. The issue was escalated to multiple tour operators, with the exception of the last one, who was extremely helpful in resolving my concerns. Regrettably, I did not receive the voucher for this particular booking (number 1195713165), and as a result, I missed the opportunity to visit the Belvedere and take the cruise, effectively rendering my payment of $125.64 futile.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Dear Josie, we are deeply sorry to hear that you encountered some ticketing issues and were unable to enjoy this tour. We would like to see how we can make things right for you.

    Too late to get my money’s worth

    Robert_E, Nov 2024
    Disappointed that it took more than 40 minutes for bus to come. So it was too late to get in my scheduled next stop. It was also freezing out - that didn’t kid no help. Did see other on and off buses comeby on the meantime.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Dear Robert, we are genuinely sorry to hear that the frequency issues and weather conditions impacted your enjoyment of the tour in Vienna. We understand how disappointing this can be. If you would like to share more about your experience, please don’t hesitate to connect with us via the live chat feature in the app or through our contact page on the official website.

    Quelle galère ! (Pass Best of Vienna 4 activités)

    JeanBaptiste_P, Nov 2024
    Quelle galère ! (Pass Best of Vienna 4 activités) Le QR Code qui est attribué suite à la réservation en ligne ne peut pas être utilisé directement aux guichets des 4 activités. Avant toute chose, Il faut IMPERATIVEMENT faire enregistrer ce QR Code soit auprès d'un chauffeur de Big Bus, soit auprès d'un correspondant Big Bus. Nous avions choisi Schonbrun comme 1ère activité. Nous nous rendons à ce château par nos propres moyens (bus + métro). A l'entrée, on nous refuse l'accès avec la lecture du premier QR Code. Après "quelques" minutes, nous comprenons qu'il faut nous rendre à l'arrêt N°6, ligne bleue du Big Bus, pour échanger ce QR Code. Pas de chance, le premier chauffeur (pas aimable) avait une machine qui ne fonctionnait pas... Et pas de correspondant Big Bus présent. Et pas d'interlocuteur Big Bus dispo par téléphone. Second Chauffeur (aimable) : ouf ! ça fonctionne: le QR code est bien lu, et permet de délivrer 4 tickets, 1 par activité. Une fois ce ticket obtenu, il faut l'échanger contre le "vrai" billet d'entrée ! C'est l'autre défi qui s'offre à nous ! Mais où s'adresser ? Où trouver le guichet qui permet d'échanger le ticket donné par le chauffeur de Big Bus contre le billet d'entrée de l'activité ? Nous le trouvons ! Ca y est, nous avons le billet et pouvons entrer à Schonbrun. Nous avons perdu 1/2 journée ... Pour résumer: nous aurions eu intérêt à réserver les activités séparément. En réservant séparément, on aurait eu DIRECTEMENT le billet d'entrée de l'activité (ce qu'on a fait pour un concert par exemple).... Ce Pass ne sera intéressant que lorsque la démarche à suivre sera définie très précisément: quoi faire avec le premier QR Code, à qui s'adresser, où ? (adresses précises !!!), et quand ... De plus, si cela peut aider un prochain voyageur: - ce Pass permet a priori d'accéder à 3 croisières (A, B ou C: canal ou Danube), AU CHOIX. Pour le canal, c'est l'arrêt 8, pour le Danube c'est l'arrêt 11. Prendre cette activité pour un moment de tranquillité, pas plus. Pas d'audioguide. - pour le Belvédère, l'échange de ticket peut se faire directement au guichet de l'activité. Par contre, l'audioguide est payant (5€) - pour Schonbrun, l'échange de ticket se fait juste à côté de l'arrêt N°6 du Big Bus, dans un local qui fait plutôt penser à une boutique de souvenirs. Audioguide (en français) compris dans le Pass. Sinon, Vienne est une très belle ville !
