The entire experience with your company was unacceptable

Marcela_A, Aug 2026

Dear Customer Service Team, I am writing to formally complain about the extremely poor and disorganized service we experienced on the day we used your service in Toledo. Given the circumstances, I am requesting a full refund for the service we purchased. When we arrived in Toledo, the gentleman assisting us appeared visibly upset because we had already purchased our tickets online and, as a result, he was unable to sell us tickets himself. Eventually, he managed to process the information, but at no point did he provide us with any meaningful explanation about how the service worked, where we needed to go, how frequently the buses operated, or what we needed to do during our visit. We were simply told to get on the bus and take a seat. The situation became even more concerning once the bus departed. The driver drove in a manner that made us feel extremely unsafe. At the second stop, he did not wait to see whether passengers needed to get off before continuing. Several passengers, including us, were already standing on the stairs trying to exit when the bus began moving, forcing us to rush back to our seats to avoid falling. Additionally, while driving, the driver was speaking on the phone and telling someone that the bus's reverse gear was not working. Despite this, he continued operating the vehicle. This was deeply concerning and made us question the safety and reliability of the service. Because of these incidents, we decided to get off at the following stop, hoping that the next bus would have a different driver. We spoke with one of your representatives at the stop, who told us that the bus would return approximately every hour and a half and explained where we should wait. However, once again, the information provided was very limited and the overall organization was extremely poor. Later, after completing a walking tour, we asked one of your staff members where we needed to go to catch the bus. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide us with any useful information. Other passengers in the group eventually informed us that the bus was not operating because it had broken down and that we would have to wait until approximately 5:00 p.m. for another bus to be sent from Madrid. This created a serious problem for us because we had already purchased return train tickets to Madrid for 4:00 p.m. We were therefore forced to walk to the main road and then continue along the road until we found a hotel. The hotel staff had to explain to us how to arrange a taxi and how to get to the train station. As a result, we had no choice but to take a taxi and pay an additional $12.00 euros to reach the train station. This entire experience was unacceptable. From the initial interaction with your staff, to the lack of clear instructions, the unsafe driving, the apparent mechanical problem with the bus, the lack of communication, and the complete disorganization when the bus broke down, we received a level of service that fell far below what any customer should reasonably expect. We paid for a service that we were ultimately unable to use properly, and we incurred additional expenses and significant inconvenience as a direct result of the problems with your service. For these reasons, I am requesting a **full refund of the amount we paid for our tickets**. I also ask that you take this complaint seriously and investigate what occurred that day, particularly the conduct of the driver, the condition of the bus, and the lack of adequate assistance and information provided by your staff. This experience has completely undermined our confidence in your company, and unfortunately, we would never consider using your service again. I look forward to receiving confirmation that my refund will be processed and to hearing your response regarding this complaint. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Booking Number] [Date of Service]

Response from Host, Aug 2026

We're very concerned to hear about the experience you described. The combination of unclear instructions, concerns regarding the driver's conduct, the reported mechanical issue, the breakdown of the service, and the lack of timely communication clearly had a significant impact on your visit to Toledo. We take matters relating to guest safety, service reliability, and staff conduct very seriously. To allow us to fully investigate the issues raised and review your request for a refund, please contact our Customer Service team with your booking reference and a copy of the details you've outlined here. You can reach our Madrid Customer Service team through the following page: https://www.bigbustours.com/en/madrid/contact-us Our team will review your case thoroughly, including the service disruption, the information provided by staff, and the additional expenses incurred as a result of the situation, and will work with you toward an appropriate resolution. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Alex@BigBusTours

Fantastic Tour!

Haakayoo_Z, Jul 2026

The tour was very informative. Passengers got to see all the must-see places in Toledo. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that the driver made several rest stops. One was for as long as one hour so that passengers could have lunch. Given the fact that a tour is supposed to be just that, a tour, I don't think such breaks are necessary, especially since average temperatures in July in Toledo are a scorching average of 90 degrees. Such stops only magnify the misery of passengers, but other than that, it was a generally very positive experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Haakayoo_Z. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback! It brings us great joy to know that you enjoyed our bus tour, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard again in the future. Best regards, Razvan @BigBusTours

OK overall, but buy direct

Robert_B, Apr 2026

Expectations are important. Despite the brochure listing 30+ sights, the route visited almost none of them - most of the route was on the road encircling the city, there was only one stop inside the city gates. The bus was just too big to travel inside the city. As a result, the "hop on, hop off" feature is next to useless. Plus, it only stops hourly, so if you get off you will wait an hour to next one. That said, the drive around the city was very scenic and enjoyable -- the best use of this IMO is buy the one hour tour and use it in the afternoon when it is hot and you want a break from walking. Do book directly with the company though. Viator is close to a scam - all they do is buy up all the search results so that they are top of the page, then mark it up 20% for no added value at all. There's a bunch of other similar companies also, not just viator. Scroll down the page and make sure you're buying from the company itself. I paid 39 euros for a tour that the company sells for 30.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the route and frequency did not fully meet your expectations for hop‑on hop‑off sightseeing, and we appreciate your honest perspective on how the tour works best in practice. We’re pleased to know you still found the drive scenic and enjoyable, particularly as a relaxing way to see the city during warmer hours. Your comments regarding route access, stop frequency, and booking channels are valuable and have been shared with our team as we continue to refine our offerings and communications.

The options for hopping...

Diane_b, Apr 2026

The options for hopping off weren't really there. Wish they gave opportunities to get off at the bridges for photos or in other locations. That said, it was a good way to see the whole city and the options for what to do. The walking tour that came with it was great and we paid extra for the cathedral tour which was also worthwhile.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding the hop‑off opportunities and understand your wish for more photo stops at locations such as the bridges. We’re pleased to hear that you still enjoyed seeing the city overall and found the included walking tour and the cathedral tour worthwhile. Your comments help us continue to refine the experience, and we’re glad Big Bus Tours played a part in your visit. Ciprian @ Big Bus Tours

The walking tour parts...

Diane_b, Apr 2026

The walking tour parts were great but the bus part was a little disorganized. Highly recommend the cathedral tour. I wish the bus would have stopped at the old bridges and the dam for pictures etc. It just seemed like there weren't a lot of places to get in and off.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Diane_b. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that the tour felt a bit disorganized. We can assure you we are actively working on enhancing communication and training, so you can get only the best experience. We hope to have you back soon. Best, Vlad from Big Bus Tours.

Toledo bus tour with cathedral option

Helen_N, Apr 2026

It was very efficient to get on the big red bus at the train station. Doing the complete loop is a great way to get a sense of the town before exploring it more thoroughly. We also did the cathedral tour option and that was great. Our guide, Mar, was excellent - so knowledgeable and helpful

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Helen_N. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are happy to learn that your tour was simply amazing. We hope to have you back soon. Best, Vlad from Big Bus Tours.
