Great tour! The bus was easy to locate, and the narration was informative and entertaining. I highly recommend!
Thank you for your great feedback! We’re glad you found the tour easy to access and enjoyed the informative and entertaining narration. We really appreciate your recommendation! Raul@BigBusTours
I like taking evening bus tours, especially on my first night in a new city. The guide on this tour was great! However, I found Vienna lacking in standout nighttime views. Don’t get me wrong — Vienna is a beautiful, elegant city and I loved it — but for nighttime bus tours, it doesn’t compare to Rome or Paris. You’ll still enjoy it, but I’d recommend lowering your expectations.
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall. We completely understand your point regarding Vienna’s nightlife atmosphere compared to cities like Rome or Paris, which are known for their very different evening scenery and lighting. Vienna offers a more elegant and classical nighttime charm, which can feel more subtle depending on expectations. Still, we’re glad you enjoyed discovering the city with us and hope you had a wonderful stay in Vienna. Kind regards, Big Bus Tours Vienna

It's all in the presenter! We've travelled on Big Bus in San Francisco (twice), New York, DC, London - and Vienna. The Vienna guy was the best! The others all need to lift their game (no recordings)

Wish I could give zero stars. Went to the meeting spot well before the time I was advised. Only to sit out in the cold for almost an hour and the bus never arrived. Glad I paid for something I never got to enjoy. Do better with your directions or timing.
Hello Erika, I want to express my gratitude for your honest feedback. It’s unfortunate that you couldn’t join our Vienna Panoramic tour due to a confusion about the pick-up location. We would be more than happy to help you reschedule, and we sincerely hope to change your perspective on our services.
Meeting place is very hard to find, please add better signage & directions! "In front of ROLEX & ANKER" We even got directions from Tourist Info & they sent us to the wrong side of the opera house. Once we got on the nus, it was great. - no stops, runs continously with narrated guide who was very knowledgeable.
Thank you for your honest feedback, Sheila! We're sorry to hear that finding one of our stops has proven to be a challenge, however we are glad to hear that once you have located the bus you were able to enjoy the tour. We will make sure to share your feedback regarding this to ensure that such situations do not occur again in the future. We hope to see you again soon!
