10.Munich City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,233 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $31

See Munich by open-top bus, from Marienplatz and the English Garden to Nymphenburg, with flexible 24 or 48-hour hop-on access.

“It is harder to find this Hop On/Off than the red busses. The only thing I would change is the bus driver’s professionalism. We arrived at the bus and I showed the driver my QR code and he kept yelling “Scan! Scan! and pointing down the street. He finally walked us to another bus which was empty of passengers but filled with junk and a young man sitting in the front with a device to scan our code and issue a paper ticket. Viator might want to teach this guy a few more English words like “Go to that bus, scan and come back.” He came across rude and obnoxious.”

11.Berlin City Hop-on Hop-off Tour with Optional Cruise

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

Review of Berlin’s hop-on hop-off bus and optional Spree cruise, with route highlights, ticket tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.

“Best way to see the city (followed by exploring it on your own using public transportation). We chose a 24 hour option which was good enough to cover all points of interest. It takes about 2h 30 mints if you choose to stay in the bus without getting off at any of the stops. Advantage over other companies was there was only one route so no change of buses to switch to a different route.”
