Most Popular“We sat outside and no commentary although not very much too see. Highlight was going through the lock systems as I’ve never done that before.”
See Vienna from the Danube on a DDSG Blue Danube cruise. Choose short or long, add Viennese specialties, and enjoy skyline views.
“It was very interesting getting a different view of Vienna from the boat. The food and service on board was excellent.”
24-hour Vienna hop-on hop-off plus Riesenrad skip-the-line and a Danube river cruise for big views with easy, flexible pacing.
“Plan is amazing. Whole city tour with hop on and off as much as you want “untill 17:00” which wasn’t mentioned until we went to the meeting point and get the brochures of the event. The thing is they divided the city tour into 2 lanes. Blue lane and red lane. One day is not…”
Vienna in 24 hours by hop-on bus plus a Danube cruise and skip-the-line Wiener Riesenrad, with 8-language audio and Wi‑Fi.
“The hop on hop off bus was great!! However the nature river cruise was awful. The outside speakers weren’t working and the bench seat was very uncomfortable for an almost 2 hour boring boat trip.”
Pick a canal city, a famous river, or the kind of cruise you want to be on.
