Great value ticket but horrible representative for the River Cruise company - The ticket is good value however our bus driver never gave us our tickets (All four of us!) This was a problem when we showed the app At the ticket office for the boat trip. The women was extremely rude and was laughing at us when we were annoyed and taking the Micky out of us. Horrible person. She really was unhelpful and certainly not a great representative for the boat company or Austrian people.! We therefore had to wait for another bus to come along to speak to a representative of the bus company to get a ticket to exchange for the boat ride despite having everything the ticket on an app.

Worth the booking - Super convenient to get picked up and dropped off at popular sites. The audio of all the places we drive by was entertaining. Only thing that I wish was expressed was the cruise is closed on Sundays. So, I got dropped off alone at the river not knowing this and walked around in a panic trying to find how to exchange my voucher for a ticket and found the office was closed.

River Cruise disaster ! - We were lead to believe the river cruise was on the main danube - we found out later it was not - after asking the driver to drop us off where the "River Cruise" start to allow us to get the boat - we found out very quickly he had dropped us off at the wrong stop - it was knee deep in snow and a wind chill of -5. We were told they move the trip into the city in the winter - at which time we had to wait over 30 mins for another bus. The big wheel "fast track" only gets you through the first barrier -at which you q with everyone else ! Nothing special for the monies

Waste of money and time - Waste of money and time! We paid €40 each person and were not even allowed to sit down. The things that have been told were not interesting and they kept telling us the same thing. Thereby, the bus stood still more often than it was riding. Very sad that we spilled so much time in the beautiful Vienna on this tour.
