Great tour

Lynda_W, Apr 2026
A fantastic way to find out about the sights in Bangkok and each bus stop was located near the attraction unlike some other bus tours we’ve been in. Great value

Dont waste your time or money

P_M, Feb 2026
You could not hop on and off as the bus was taking too long to do the circuit and they did not have enough buses on the circuit. Our bus had a collision and after 45 mins of waiting they kicked us off the bus and told us the next bus would be there in 45 minutes and well into an hour later it showed up. Took us all day to go around once with one stop, the rest of the time we were waiting for the bus at unmarked stops. Waste of money. I have done these same tours in London and new York and actually got to hop on and off and see things. You spend your time on a bus or waiting for it.

An overview of Bangkok

Heather_l, Feb 2026
It’s a v good trip if you’re a solo traveller and wanting to get a broad impression of the city. The temples, the busyness , the pace of all that goes on can be seen in air conditioned comfort. Run alongside your own guide book makes it clearer. It was a safe, easy way to claim a visit to the city.

Quick Getaway

Rowena_C, Jan 2026
I always want to do the hop on hop off in every tour so I can see the places first before going independently but Traffic is terrible…especially in china town and I hope the driver can speak a better English .

You'll see the city from the bus in about 4+hrs

Angela_W, Jan 2026
Disappointing to find out after payment when we checked in for our first stop that the busses run very late. They do not pick up at locations every 15-20 minutes. It can be up to an hour or more between stops.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for your patience, and we’re sorry for the longer wait. We aim for regular intervals between buses, but congestion and road works can sometimes widen the gaps. To help while you wait, our real-time bus tracking is available on our website under the “Route Map” page, so you can see a clear estimated arrival time. We’re also working to tighten intervals wherever possible. Thank you for your feedback. It helps us serve future guests better, and we hope to welcome you back for a smoother, friendlier hop-on hop-off experience in Bangkok.

Plan first what you want to see

Andrey_C, Nov 2025
The traffic in Bangkok is terrible, more than 1 hour in the bus to get to the next stop. Some drivers don’t tell you when is your stop and just continue driving so the bad traffic in the city. Work pits very short. 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Bangkok traffic can be extremely challenging at times, but we understand how frustrating long delays and missed stop announcements can be. We are reinforcing communication guidelines with our drivers and reviewing our operations to ensure smoother service. We also appreciate your comment regarding the operating hours, and we will take this into account as we work to improve our schedule. Thank you again for bringing these issues to our attention.

Informative, great city. Liked the air conditioning on the upper level of the bus. A little confusing finding the start point as others have said.

Trip was good enough but...

Bonita_T, Nov 2025
Trip was good enough but maybe not as extensive as many other cities. Easy to find and get tickets. Had a problem with getting downloads with my email and Viator was able to pdf me what I needed. Great service!

Mediocre tour

Craig_P, Sep 2025
Really not worth the cost. The travel through town was ok, but unless you sit upstairs in the blazing heat, you cannot see anything other than the awful traffic jams that delay the coach. The narration was spotty and not very informative. Also the the pickup spot at IconSiam was difficult to locate.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We sincerely apologize for this experience. We're improving visibility by providing clearer instructions and map pins with photo references on our website and in our brochure. Thank you for your feedback. It helps us serve future guests better, and we hope to welcome you back for a smoother, friendlier hop-on hop-off experience in Bangkok.

hopping on and off at your leisure

daniel_w, Aug 2025
This in my opinion is a great way to explore and learn about art, temples, architecture history etc. it’s get also because you can get off and on at any of there spot and carry on at your leisure as long as this process doesn’t change I will always recommend this

Bangkok

Diane_V, Jun 2025
Make sure you know exactly where the pickup area is. It is not marked and we ended up just flagging the bus down

Hop on Hop off Bus Tour

TIMOTHY_P, May 2025
Traffic is horrendous in Bangkok so you spend a long time getting round. Also there are no signs for where the bus stops so you must use the QR to identify where to stand

Waste of money!

Pam_T, Mar 2025
This experience never happened. I had issues with the ticket and after I was helped, I still couldn’t find any places to hop on a bus. I was looking forward to seeing more of the city, but that didn’t happen.

Be sure to understand...

Donna_S, Mar 2025
Be sure to understand where your hop on hop off locations are because we wasted our money booking this and no one understood what we were talking about when asked where we could get on this bus even with my map and addresses. So ended up wasting our money booking something I was looking forward to.

A Good Introduction to Bangkok

PETER_J, Feb 2025
This is a very good way to find your feet and see the sights of Bangkok. The 48 hour ticket is best, as it gives you enough time to get off the bus and visit the many lovely places in Bangkok

hop on hop off Bangkok

Kathy_N, Jan 2025
I enjoyed this thoroughly. I saw so much on this hop on hop off. The bus was clean. They had audio in different languages and wonderful air conditioning! This is a must do on the first day of any vaca... then you can go back and visit the sites that you want to. . Or better yet…get a three day pass and you won’t have to drive around to see the things you want to you can utilize the bus. I take these buses in every city that I go to and I love them

Good day of sightseeing

kimkohler316, Jan 2025
Bus was nice but I thought the stops were difficult to find some attractions- probably was us being tired. A good way to get around. The hop off boat is the best way to get around and very inexpensive

Great way to see Bangkok!

Jim_C, Jan 2025
Lots of traffic and bus does an amazing job trying to keep with the schedule. Be waiting at the stop because the bus does not wait as it is a quick on and off.

Good orientation

Brian_S, Jan 2025
The buses are new and air con but not very frequent sometimes waiting 45 mins and sometimes very slow but the way to fast. First day dint even get one route finished Volume on headset very low and not much info. Staff were nice

Cannot recommend this tour

Andre_S, Jan 2025
Bus waited for more than 1hour at the starting point and we have been frying on the upper deck. Once started, we were always stuck in the traffic - Bangkok seems to suffocate in cars. Very little explanation provided over the head-sets, more music than anything else.

Great way to experience main attractions

Alejandra_S, Dec 2024
A Very convenient way to see all the places without having to rent a car. loved all the places I got to visit carefree.

Overall good value, but slow street traffic

Boris_S, Nov 2024
Great value, many interesting points can be visited, but street traffic was terrible. Also, it would be nice to get complimentary bottle of water and not charge 10 Baht...

Bangkok

Somari_T, Nov 2024
Sound was great. Exploring the city by bus, was an experience getting to know the history of Bangkok and become a little more familiar with the place. Frequent departures that allow you to get on the tour early morning until late afternoon. Bought a 72 hour pass, but won't be using it for the last day.

Probably not the best option

Steve_C, Nov 2024
It’s nice that you can start at any stop, but the website does not make it clear enough where the stops actually are. The gps tracking is essential but it’s not always accurate. Refresh your browser often. Don’t trust even the signs you might see for the bus as they are also not accurate. I had trouble with the audio in English too. All in all, the service was delivered as advertised but I don’t think it’s a good option to see Bangkok, especially if you have only one day. Use the TukTuks instead and make the most of your time.

Too much traffic to be fun

Patrick_F, Nov 2024
To much traffic, too long waiting for each bus, you better travel with the BTS to visit what you want

Easy-going experience. ...

Margarette_G, Nov 2024
Easy-going experience. No timeline. No pressure. Sometimes, the bus went too fast. This did not allow us to take pics.

Nice bus but not so good audio voume

Crystal_R, Oct 2024
The bus was nice and clean, with a good driver. The stops were great for seeing a lot for Bangkok. The audio was hard to hear, even with the volume turned all the way up.

Nice thing to do in Bangkok

dorothyrubyred_m, Aug 2024
The meeting place at Siam Paragon was a bot of a challenge but not to bad. It's on the south side of the mall by the employee entrance. There is a large sign. The ride it self was comfortable and informative. There are multiple busses to catch if you decide to "hop off" you just have to wait until they arrive but you can watch them in real time as they approach on thie app. I enjoyed the ride...about 2.5 hours total

Must do activity in bangkok
