★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 940 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $82

“You need to consider if skipping the line is worth it. It was convenient to have a transport to the Palace and back to town and hear a bit of history of the city. My friends found out much more by listening to the recorded guide than our group. Every guide has its flavour, mine was boring to me. Heard everything I didn’t care about and very little what I was interested in. There are other ways to book tickets and not queue.”

“This is an excellent way to spend an afternoon in Vienna! Our guide was fantastic. He provided lots of great information, went at a pace that kept things interesting but safe, and was fun to talk to. We were able to choose our own bikes and a few people chose eBikes so they could keep up. It was nice that they had that option. We started a few minutes late because a few people were late, which was mildly annoying after being told to arrive 15 minutes early and actually doing so, but it was a minor glitch in an otherwise lovely afternoon. Highly recommend!”
