Hop on Hop off City Bus
Charles P
, Jul 2019
We always enjoy this package as a way to get to know the city. Salzburg is relatively small but has many sites of interest. If you have 2 city days this is a good option but if you have one day, just go to the Old Town and walk around.

Hop an and Off where you like
DiStatham
, Jul 2019
We took the 2 day ticket option. On day 1 we did the full circular tour to see all the stop off points. We then chose which places we wanted to get back to and actually spend time. It worked really well. There was plenty of room on the coaches and they were air conditioned which was very welcome NOTE - the City Tour takes you round the City and the outlaying places. There is also an "Old Town Tour" which is just within the central area and is done on a small mini bus.

Hi Darmadi! Thank you very much for your review. Salzburg is a very small city but that's what makes it so charming we think. We have 24 Stopps in Salzburg City at the moment and usually our customers are very satisfied with this range of stops. But if you have another idea for us we would be very happy!

Ear phones were difficult to hear and hard to follow the audio. Bus driver was not helpful with his limited English. Most people, especially in the service industry in Germany, Austria and Paris, spoke English well enough to be helpful. This was not the case.

Hi Daniel! First of all we are very sorry that you had a bad experience with our Hop On Hop Off Tour. Usually our bus drivers are tested for their English skills and because we have no exact time of this case we can´t talk to the mentioned bus driver but we will do our best to train our employees. We also tested our earphones and couldn´t find any failure. Thank you for driving with us and best regards from Salzburg, Your Salzburg Sightseeing - Team

Emily_L
, Sep 2017
This tour was particularly memorable for the hop-off advice gave us by our driver. Because of her recommendation, we hopped off at the Schloss Helbrun and toured the house and grounds. The trick fountains were wonderful, and the guide there was terrific. Generally speaking, the Hop-On Hop-Off tour was informative and efficient.

The absolutely BEST way to see where you want to spend more time, and includes Hellbrunn, too. Also stops at the Hauptbanhof, which is very handy. Several trips to choose from, just wish I'd more time to do them all.

Hi Mark, we have one Sound of Music Channel and one City Channel. I guess you selected the Sound of Music Channel and that´s why you didn´t hear anything about the City. Hope you have a better experience next time! We send you greetings from Salzburg, Your Salzburg Sightseeing Team

If you want a quick run of the city, do the hop on bus. I never hopped off so I could get my barrings. It seemed like we flashed by some of the sites, but guess that is why you should hop off to see more. Overall a good tour. I think the directions for finding the bus could provide more landmarks.

Patricia D G

This tour only has 12 stops, so be aware that you'll be doing some walking in between...many historical buildings, churches, palaces and embassies to see around each stop. Also...Viator does not have both routes for sale, just one or two day. If you want to see all of the stops then you will have to pay an extra 5 Euro and pay again for the tram to take you up to Salzburg castle. The scenery was beautiful! Just know that some of the drivers expect you to push the stop button on the bus if you want off...although they are supposed to stop at every designation.

Hi Patricia! Thank you very much for your review! Unfortunately we can´t sale the red line online because the roads in the Old Town of the City are blocked very often and we don´t want to promise and sale something to our customers we can´t offer at the end. But if there are no roads blocked, we sale the red line tickets at the Ticket Office at Mirabellplatz. Thank you for driving with us!

Helena J
, Jan 2017
I always love the hop on hop off bus tours and we always take them as it gives you a chance to tour the whole city, place etc and then you decide where you want to focus your visits on etc. The bus was clean and there was plenty to see with guided information via headphones. Salzburg is not that big but it is beautiful. Maybe the bus drivers could be a little bit more sociable and welcoming. I understand there could be a language barrier but still, you felt ignored but that could just be me. Still always recommend that you use these buses in unfamiliar places. Good value for money too.
