A great go kart experience if you want to drive around and see the city! My friend and I had a blast on the 10am tour with Alam. You are literally driving a go kart on open roads. The ride can get bumpy. My friend’s phone fell out of his pocket, but a Good Samaritan returned it

A great way to see the city. It is a real adrenalin rush, with cars and trams towering above you. Our guide Rufat is fabulous. He gave us a good pre tour briefing on the karts and how we travel in the group. We have a practice with some laps in the carpark before. His commentry is good as well and he made sure we stayed together. All the pedestrians are looking and waving at us. They were taking pictures and videos of us, and all were wishing it was them in the karts. It was a blast and a must do if you are adventurous and like to have a go at something different. It is worth every cent

What an amazing experience. The whole Hot Rod team were great. The sun shone as we zipped around the Inner Stadt, dodging trams, horse and carts and anyone trying to cross the road. The little cars can go up to 40kmph and you will need to get your foot down at times ! Ryan our guide was fantastic, and very patient and we all felt safe at all times. I would definitely do this again and maybe try the moonlight tour. You will need your full driving license and sensible flat shoes so you can operate the pedals safely. The helmets are clean and we have ear pieces and radio comms with the group whilst we were out. Go on… it’s a lot of money, but well worth it.

THE BEST THING WE HAVE EVER DONE! What a blast! Ryan was amazing. Took us all over Vienna. We zoomed everywhere. it was like being a celerity as this is very unique and people where waving, taking video and pictures of us in our Hot rods. Definitely a must! Have to say, it was our favorite thing we did in Vienna. Unique experience!

Had a great time on our hod rod ride! I was skeptical initially that these would be more like a golf cart than a “hot rod”, but they are fast. You get to drive on the Vienna streets alongside (or faster) than normal traffic). It’s a blast. Our guide helped us navigate traffic and the pedestrians in a way that never felt unsafe. Our tour was 12pm on a Friday and traffic wasn’t too heavy at that time. Definitely recommend this unique experience!

We were looking for something different to do at the end of our five day visit to Austria. We found it when we booked an afternoon tour with Hotrod Tours Vienna. Young at heart but in our mid 60, our partners were a little apprehensive about being in such tiny vehicles amongst the traffic but our guide Alan, was great, explained everything well and gave them the confidence to give it a go. What a fantastic experience, so much fun and lots of laughs. Not to mention all the smile and waves we received from people as we drove through the city. We would throughly recommend you give it a try and if you do have no doubt you will write a similar review. Thanks Hotrod Tours Vienna especially Alan for the fantastic memories Karl, 🍻 Australia.

We absolutely loved this tour of Vienna. What a fun way to explore the cities beauty along with a little surge of adrenaline. Don't be intimidated by the cars as my 75 year old father did the tour - hitting top speeds- and had the best of time! Our guide was so friendly and always made us feel safe in the tour and well cared for. I highly recommend this tour to see Vienna and ditch the boring walking tours!!!!

We loved the Hot Rod tour!! We went at 3:15pm and it was the perfect time, not too hot and the traffic wasn’t too bad yet. I wouldn’t recommend going after that time as the traffic will probably be bad. Our guide was Rufat, he was awesome!!! He pointed out/took us right by all of the major sights in Vienna. I highly recommend for families with driving age kids/young adults!! Don’t recommend for seniors as much as it’s sort of difficult to break and you are driving on the road alongside all of the other cars. (Bring your drivers license, but no need for a foreign DL)
