I signed up for hop on hop off tour at 1:50 with only 2 buses running. It was a compromise from more buses but I thought I could make do. When I arrived they said there was only 1 bus and it was at 3:15. And there was only 1 10 minute stop. It was a beautiful day and had I known earlier than 1:30 I would have made other plans for the day. They said they had been running this schedule for over a month and I had just bought my tickets on line a week ago. I took the city tour to fill in the wait time. I thought they might give me a discount due to the situation but they didn’t.
This was terrible. The website said the buses came every hour but they actually had 2 per day which means if you took the first bus you could get off at one stop and then you would need to get on the second bus to get home. If you took the second bus you were not able to get off the bus. I booked for 2 days and the first day I took the second bus and I sat on the bus for 2 hours trying to take pictures from the window. The second day I purchased a city bus ticket and rode the city bus into St. Gilden so that I could take the cable car up to the top and hike around. Otherwise, I would have had only 2 hours before I needed to catch the second bus back. I reached out to the company for a refund prior to using the tickets after speaking with an employee but was worried they would not get back to me in time so I ended up using the ticket. They did offer me a credit which was nice, but if you are only going to offer 2 buses per day, do not call it hop on hop off because that is very misleadi

Don't miss this.bits breath takingly beautiful. Green line bus is comfortable & nice. Red line is a mini bus & quite crumpy. Bus was jam packed & no a/c so inside it was hot, suffocating & smelly (human sweat smell) but all the stops & little village was superb

This tour is a good break from the huge crowds of tourists in Salzburg and the time at the lakes is very relaxing. The bus route takes you to the main highlights of the Salzburg lakes region and gives enough time to walk around each village, although we did not get off at Fuschl. Our bus driver was very nice to pull over and let us take pictures of Wolfgangsee at an overlook before the St. Gilgen stop. Since the bus reaches each stop once an hour, it's better to get to the stop early so that you don't miss the bus. I also recommend taking the boat trip on Wolfgangsee (we did the trip from St. Gilgen to St. Wolfgang).
