Really expensive for what you get. We waited ages for the blue line and gave up. The app is confusing and useless, especially with regard to live updates. The roof of the bus is made of glass, making the top deck an absolute hot house. I had to use my blackout parasol to get some shade. On one of the buses I couldn't turn the volume down, so couldn't listen to the commentary. The seats are hard and uncomfortable. What a waste of money - next time we'll use the trams and underground.

The bus was easy to access and we never had to wait. We had an issue purchasing tickets on line, but the person at the bus stop helped us. It was extremely hot on the bus.

Wir haben uns für das 72h Hop on - Hop off Busticket + Stadtführung + Schloß Schönbrunn entschieden.
Hop on - Hop off Bus 🚌
Die Bustouren sind wie in allen anderen Städten, in denen sie angeboten werden natürlich recht teuer und die Busse eher unbequem. Dennoch sehe ich sie als gute Möglichkeit an, sich einen Überblick über die Stadt, in der eigenen Sprache, zu verschaffen und schonmal ein paar Basic Facts zu bekommen. Ich finde es immer toll, wenn man dann durch die Stadt läuft und ein bisschen was weiß und Wissen verknüpfen kann.
Bei dieser Bustour haben neben diesen Dingen auch die Kompositionen verschiedener geschichtlich bedeutenden Wiener Komponisten gefallen, die zwischen den Informations Sequenzen eingespielt wurden.
Der Überblick über die Stadt war mir an dieser Stelle aber definitiv zu lau (besonders bei der roten Tour, bei der blauen war es besser): Es bleiben so viele Fragen offen und es wird weniger die Geschichte der Stadt berichtet sondern stattdessen viel mehr die Geschichte einzelner Akteure angeschnitten, was bei einer Busfahrt durch Wien doch eher verwunderlich ist.
Darüberhinaus werden manchmal Aussagen in den Raum geworfen und dann wird darauf nicht weiter eingegangen, wo ich mir dann noch das „weil …“ gewünscht hätte.
Hinzu kommt, dass die Informationen eher strukturlos und übergangslos wirkten, wodurch es mir schwer viel weiterhin zuzuhören und am Ball zu bleiben. An einigen Stellen werden so Themen angeschnitten und Informationen gegegeben, dann kommt ein anderes Thema und eine halbe Stunde später wird das erste wieder aufgenommen.
Außerdem wird der Fokus fast gezwungen wirkend auf Statistiken geworfen, wie „sie ist eine der zehn größten Glocken Europas“.
Für die Busfahrt passt das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis für mich dementsprechend also nicht.
Stadtführung 👀
Die Stadtführung haben wir aufgrund eines starken Gewitters nicht mehr gemacht.
Schloß Schönbrunn 🏰
Dies habe ich einzeln bewertet.

We were told it was A/C on the bus but it was not. On this day it over 30 degrees and sitting inside this bus was awfull. So sad, because Vienna is such a beautiful city

The bus was basically unusable because it was so miserably hot. The outdoor temperature was only 85 Fahrenheit but inside it felt at least 95. There was no air conditioning at all. We tried both days of our pass to utilize the bus but had to hop off and use public transportation instead which was actually cooler.

What a waste of money. This is one of Europes most expensive BigBusTours and of the four I’ve experienced the worst value .
The Red route tours the inner ring plus visiting the island across the Danube.
The blue route takes in Schonbrunn and stop 5 was right outside our hotel.
So day one, on the blue at 5, Schonbrunn stop 6 , ok so far, long run into stop 7 The Hauptbahnhof then stop 9 is a change stop onto the Red route, stop 3. Same place , just different number for each route. Glad we changed here as I was actually going to go to blue stop 2 , which is red 4. However we didn’t get to stop 2 or 3 as the road was closed for major parade. No one told us the route was changing, no info at all. Anyway onto Red route, stop start, stop start, heavy traffic. Again couldn’t see buildings as trees in full leaf. Across the Danube bridge at speed, up an down the side of the Danube between moored cruise ships and a railway line! Wonderful views, not ! I’m sure the only reason the bus comes here is stops 10 & 11 to encourage passengers from the the cruise ships, which is rather hopeful as many cruise ships have their own bus tours on their own coaches ! Backup the other direction and then round the very modern Danube turn and ugly modern edicts then into what is termed the old Danube. Not at all interesting for us.back over the bridge again at speed heading for stop 16 then the guide says the bus is diverting. No reason, no apology. We get dumped at red3/ blue 9! There is no where close to buy drinks/ snacks, no shelter and when we asked the four incompetent BigBusTours staff there, they treated it as a joke. When I asked when the next blue bus to get back to stop 5 , all I got was a shrug, a glance at his watch and a May be 25 mins . That’s was it . Hopeless. About half an hour later we get on the blue line back. The lack of information was dreadful.
The next day after walking into Vienna centre we were approached by a BigBusTours tour seller , and I told him what I thought of his company, he did offer us a live guided evening tour. I declined . Later we did catch the blue again to get back to the hotel and one of the staff said that we should have been informed by the company that Vienna route would be affected by the road closures for the parade. Too little too late .
My advice for all Big Bus tours is check, check, check , use it for one day only to see the city, then switch to local city tourist pass and do your own thing!
The other thing about Vienna Big Bus is that the authorities do not allow the buses to be open top. They have a Perspex roof, are hot, with uncomfortable seats and more music than commentary through issued cheap earbuds.
Way way too much money for what you get. RIP OFF.
Big Bus you should be embarrassed, but you’ve taken my money so will not be bothered.

We went on the first red line trip of the morning from the river cruise dock area. It took an hour to get to the 4th stop by the museums. The bus seemed to stop for long periods of time while people on the sidewalk purchased tickets and asked questions. Due to the narrow streets and traffic, it took a long time to go about 3 miles. We ended up taking the subway back to the boat because we didn't want to sit on a hot bus for a few more hours.

I enjoyed the overview of the city. The narrative was interesting, informative, and helpful. Best of all the staff were amazingly informative and helpful for directions etc.

Super reliable, convenient, and free audio tour was great. Takes you to all the major sites, easy to navigate. MUST download the app! It shows you live updates of bus locations, bus stops, and routes. Absolutely MUST DO and would do again when in Vienna.
