Dresden: 1-Day Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour

6.1-Day Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,813 reviews · 1 day · from $29

See Dresden by double-decker bus, with 22 stops, Zwinger and Frauenkirche tours, Pfunds Dairy, a night watchman walk, and Elbe views.

“Great city. Nice service. Lots of stops in best places of the city. Couple of issues: 1. Bus without open roof, can't see most of the buildings guide is talking about. 2. Polish audio guide was often out of sync. Speaking about things much before or after pasing it through. 3. No English trip although it was advertised.”

Review Munich’s hop-on hop-off bus, with route details, ticket value, stop-by-stop advice, audio guide tips, and service drawbacks.

“The route was fine but there could have been more commentary, especially at the beginning. More about the history of Munich and the buildings early in the route. The online map was helpful when we got off at one stop and wanted to get back on at a different stop.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,155 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $31

See Berlin’s key sights by hop-on hop-off bus, with multilingual audio, a kids’ channel, and an optional Spree River cruise.

“This was a good overview of Berlin’s city highlights as well as providing an economical way to get from one site to another. The bus was clean and the audio clear, although it did cut off abruptly a few times but did not exclude anything relevant. There was a small disappointment of not getting to view the Brandenburg gate but the was due to the Euro cup event and not due to the tour company. I felt they did a good job of letting people know which stops to get off to walk to the gate. Only other comment is a warning that on Sundays the shops are closed so…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,036 reviews · from $28

See Dresden’s baroque center, Zwinger, Frauenkirche, Pfunds Molkerei, and more with a flexible 2-day hop-on hop-off bus ticket.

“Interesting tour in and around Dresden. Difficult to listen to English or other languages as the bus was "broadcasting" in German at the same time. There was a state visit to Dresden on the same day, and traffic jam in the old city.”
