Hi. Has anyone used Shuttle JIFI to get from Vienna to Cesky Krumlov? It looks so much more convenient than the train.

Here is another shuttle to consider. They do door to door. www.shuttlebus.cz

Have you used them, Richard?

karens; No, I have not used them, but my wife and I would not hesitate to book. The price is right, direct and door to door. However, I e-mail a friend in Austria in the travel industry to see if he has an opinion. Should have an answer tomorrow.

Wow - that is so nice of you! Thanks so much - I really appreciate your assistance - and kindness.

Not much to report. Raja talked to a few people a couple of years ago who used the shuttle and they said the company was reliable. But I did notice the shuttle you mentioned is a bit cheaper and both shuttles do the same routes. I have been suggesting this shuttle for the last two years. I have never seen any comments positive or negative. Things to consider. 1. You will be in close contact with other passengers. 2. The train is probably cheaper. 3. But it's only three hours. Not much help.

That you!

The issue I'm seeing with the train/bus is the timing on a weekend. When I put in our date of travel, only one bus route came up that had only one connection. It indicated that the bus arrived at 3:00 and the connecting bus departed at 3:05! That's too close for comfort, especially knowing our options would be very limited on a weekend if we missed that connection.

The train is not cheaper.Train ticket from Vienna to Linz is for 34.30 EUR,last minute price for shuttle from Vienna to Cesky Krumlov you can find around 40 EUR directly to Cesky Krumlov.The journey takes approx. 3 hours.
