Great trip - It was a beautiful day. Great staff and very helpful. Amazing tours on two different routes, a free city bus pass too!

A must if visiting Salzburg. - A great tour bus to see Salzburg. It does all the main sites and doesn't take very long to do full tour. Bus was very clean. Would do this tour again.

A good way to get acquainted - Salzburg Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour is a great way to get acquainted with what there is to see in Salzburg. The accompanied recording is very informative and the ability to get on and off the bus when you chose is very helpful.

Great way to see the most famous landmarks in Salzburg - A well-run and clean tour. You listen through earbuds which the operators provide. The recording lines up with where you are in the tour, so if there is traffic and the driver is delayed, the recording doesn't keep going, instead it keeps pace with the bus. The bus hits the stops exactly on time as listed in the brochure, so if you want to get off and back on, you won't run into the problem of not knowing when the ext bus will arrive which happens often with other tour operators in other cities. I wish there was better visibility from the bus, as it's not panoramic, but that's my only quip. The full tour lasts one hour exactly ( if you don't exit the bus) and starts and finishes at Mirabellplatz 2, 5020 Salzburg, Austria. I definitely recommend it for a quick run through of Salzburg's most famous landmarks, then get a Salzburg day card to use the public transportation if you want to travel throughout the city outside of the tour bus loop.

Worth the experience - We saw areas of Salzburg we would not have seen otherwise as we did not a car. Less music would be appreciated.

Not a true Hop on Off - Yellow line is just OK. Not many stops. Blue line is NOT hop on hop off. Takes 2 hours and only runs 3 times a day. Goes way out of Salzburg to Germany on windy mountain roads. Not what we wanted. Take The original Sound of Music tour instead.

Terrible driver/host - We always like to do a tour like this the first day when we travel to a new city/country to get a lay of the land and see if there’s anywhere we see that we want to go first. The lady driving our bus started off having to raise her voice at me first thing because I didn’t know we had to scan our tickets entering the bus, then rolled her eyes and chucked with others waiting in line. While I sat in my seat I noticed it was a common event that almost everyone had to get a yelling at 😒. Maybe they need to be a little more specific before entering the bus . That started me on the wrong foot. I thought she was a terrible host for my first day in Austria . We listened to headsets and she didn’t have to talk (thank goodness at this point). At one point in our journey when someone walked out in front of us and quite a few of us gasped, she turned around shaking her finger at us telling us not to do that. She acted like she was very annoyed at any interaction anyone had. She surely does not enjoy what she’s doing and should hang her keys up for someone else. If it helps the company, we did the 1 pm tour.

Waste of money - This said it was an hour tour. It were on the bus at most 45 min, and the driver pulled over three times and waited at least 5 min each...more like a 30 min tour. Not a good value at 22,00 euro per person. You listen to a prerecorded guide, that often times did not line up with the area that you were actully driving by. I felt like this was a waste of money.

DO NOT - It is a closed bus, you see little, Dutch explanation did not work. The gardens/fountains of the VonTrapp family are beautiful, but you should not go there by bus, it is located next to the departure point. I say: save your money for something more fun! However, the driver was very friendly!

Collecting money and not being able to provide any service - If I could, I wouldn't even give it 1 point. The operation is the worst impudence for me. On an Advent weekend, the bus runs every one and a half hours... a coach with around 60 seats. We bought the tickets online in mid-November. 4 of them. On an Advent weekend, there are masses of tour groups and tourists on the road. We tried to get on this bus 3 times in 2 days, we were at the bus stops 20 minutes before departure and couldn't get on because countless people were already standing there and the bus only took the number of people who were allowed to get on the bus, I think there were around 60, no more were allowed because everyone had to sit. The bus was full, the passengers also drove the whole way round because otherwise they would never get on. It's a bottomless impudence to sell tickets to masses of people and then we couldn't take the bus ride. A service that couldn't be provided to us. We bought 4 tickets online and couldn't travel because there wasn't enough capacity. STAY AWAY FROM THIS company. I will forward my complaint to Salzburg Tourism and various places and reserve the right to take legal action.
