Goes everywhere you need to see.

Rochelle_O, Sep 2026
The Big Bus gets you close to 'most any place you must see in London. The recorded narration is good, although not all of the audio jacks are in working order. The brochure makes it clear that you cannot board a bus after 6PM. What is NOT clear, is that wherever you are at 6PM is pretty much where you'll end up, no matter how far from your boarding point.

Very good you see so much

robert_m, Sep 2026
Well worth it Sit up stairs to get good views They take you all over London …………………………………………………………………

Jean_B, Sep 2026
A fun and easy way to get oriented to the city. We appreciated the commentary and what to explore at each stop.

We always use the Big Bus...

Tracey_B, Sep 2026
We always use the Big Bus when traveling and have good experiences with it. While the tour itself was fine, we were a bit disappointed in the customer service at the stops. Every one we encountered was on their phone and ignoring people. It created a bottleneck when they needed to print out tickets. They should have been getting people’s tickets printed before the bus arrived to make it quicker.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Tracey, Thank you for being a loyal customer and taking the time to share your review with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself and that Big Bus continues to be a go-to choice for your travels. However, we are truly sorry to learn about your experience with our staff at the stops. Friendly and efficient customer service is a top priority for us, and ignoring guests or causing boarding delays due to phone use is certainly not the standard we aim for. Your feedback regarding pre-printing tickets to keep the process moving smoothly is extremely valuable, and we will share this directly with our local operations team to ensure better service going forward. We appreciate your constructive input and hope to welcome you back for a seamless experience on your next trip! Maria@BigBusToursCustomerService

Overpriced

Amy_T, Sep 2026
Miserably slow going around. Lots of stops which was fine but several route changes that weren’t posted or mentioned on the tour. Audio wasn’t very good on some of the buses. Overpriced for what it is. Make the Tube your friend and save some money.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hello, Amy! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience on our London Hop-On Hop-Off tour fell short of your expectations. We apologize for the frustration caused by the slow traffic, unannounced route changes, and the poor audio quality on some of our buses. While London traffic and live road events occasionally force us to divert routes, we agree that these changes should always be communicated clearly to our guests. We are already looking into the audio issues to ensure all onboard systems are fully operational. We strive to offer a valuable and memorable experience, and it is disappointing to know we missed the mark for you. We would love the opportunity to look into your booking and address this further. Please reach out to our support team directly on our official website with your booking reference. We offer our customers always a solution! Thank you again for your honest feedback—it helps us improve our service. Maria@BigBusToursCustomerService

Beer lovers tour

Meredith_D, Sep 2026
Amanda was a terrific guide and host. She really knew a lot of Munich history which was super interesting. My only regret was that there was no NA beer options which was surprising given the availability of NA beers at the Oktoberfest. If you love beer, this is a great tour!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hello! Thank you so much for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time with Amanda and enjoyed learning about the local history and beer culture. We also really appreciate your feedback regarding non-alcoholic options—we’ll definitely keep this in mind to make our tours even better. Cheers and hope to see you again soon! Maria@BigBusToursCustomerService

Great overview of London and all the attractions.

Kati_P, Sep 2026
This is a great overview of the city of London and all the attractions. It is very hard to understand the stops and the schedule but once you figure it out it works well. It takes a long time to get around because of all the traffics and stops but it a great break from all the walking. We loved to boat ride and our guides running the boat were very entertaining. I would recommend if you want to see a lot in one day and doing have many days to fully explore.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you found the tour to be a great way to get an overview of London and its many attractions. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the river cruise as well and found the boat guides entertaining and engaging. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the routes, schedules, and traffic. London can be a busy city, and while journey times can sometimes be longer than expected, we're glad the tour provided a comfortable break from walking and helped you see so much in a limited amount of time. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you on board again during a future visit to London! Alex@BigBusTours

Fair tour a little disappointing. A lot of repeats

Susan_N, Sep 2026
Bus had multiple delays and unscheduled stops. Ask to leave bus with no clear reason. Lower deck, was unable to see sights.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the delays, unscheduled stops, and unclear communication affected your experience, and that being seated on the lower deck meant you could not fully enjoy the sights. If you would like to share more details about your experience, please feel free to contact us directly. We would be happy to look into your feedback further. Alexandra@BigBusTours

Great service!

Melanie_J, Sep 2026
It was so convenient and we got to see a LOT of London’s historic sites. The audio was filled with wonderful information.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Melanie! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that our tour made exploring London's historic sites so convenient for you. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the audio commentary and found it informative. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam

Everything I needed

Monica_C, Sep 2026
I purchased this for a group of 9 people and it was the best decision I made on my trip to London and Paris! I downloaded the application and it was easy to hop on and off on each turistic attraction we wanted and take the time we wanted. I purchased the one including 3 guided walks and a cruise. Everything was perfect. I reccomend it to everyone who wants to travel and visit the main attractions from a specific city! I will definitely buy it for my next trips

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Monica! Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that choosing us was the best decision of your trip to London and Paris. It’s fantastic to know that your group of 9 had such a smooth experience using the app, exploring the sights at your own pace, and enjoying the guided walks and cruise. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you on board again on your next adventure! Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam

Bus was slow. Driver...

Barbara_C, Sep 2026
Bus was slow. Driver rude. Held up as changed driver 3 times, can't see a lot anymore because of construction everywhere.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Barbara! Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am truly sorry for your experience. Having a slow tour, rude drivers, and three separate driver changes is completely unacceptable, especially on top of the construction already affecting the views. We are so sorry for letting you down. Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam

Convenient, easy, great...

Kurt_J, Sep 2026
Convenient, easy, great way to see a lot in a short period of time! Highly recommend the cruise option!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Kurt_J. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are happy to learn that the tour in London was easy to take, convenient, and a great way to explore the city in a short time. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Vlad @BigBusTours

Lori_L, Sep 2026
The entire loop takes about 3 hours. Make sure you grab the headphones. Very good way to see the city!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Lori, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that our full city loop and commentary made your time in London so enjoyable, and we appreciate you passing on the pro tip about the headphones. We look forward to having you on board again! Alexandra@BigBusTours

A day in London

Susan_T, Sep 2026
This is the best thing to do if you are in London for just a day. Glimpses of all the places you have heard and a great commentary!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Susan, Thank you for the wonderful feedback!  We're delighted that our tour and commentary made your day in London so memorable. We look forward to having you on board again! Alexandra@BigBusTours

A 3 Hour Tour

Teresa_T, Sep 2026
Great way to see the city to get your bearings before we started a group tour. Easy location for pick up near Victoria Station.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Teresa_T, thank you so much for the great review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the visit with us. We look forward to having you on board again and explore new cities together! Best, Denisa from Big Bus Tours

Skip the boat! Bus tour was more than enough

Shaneisha_M, Sep 2026
Big Bus was cool. Got to see a lot snd didn't have to worry about transportation every where . The boat tour was boring. Not to mention the boat staff didn’t want to honor our bus ticket. We could have skipped the boat.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Shaneis! Thank you for your 4-star review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Big Bus experience and found it a convenient way to explore the city. We’re sorry to hear that the boat tour did not meet your expectations and that you experienced an issue with your bus ticket being honored. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and hope to welcome you again on a future trip! Andreea@BigBusTours

Not informative

Karen_G, Sep 2026
While Big Bus has a lot of stops and buses that come often, if you actually want to learn anything on your tour do not take this one. There are silly stories recorded, but they were not helpful. I took another tour last year that was much more informative

Not a good experience.

Marilyn_V, Sep 2026
The driver would begin driving before everyone was seated and didn't respond when I used the Viator app to ask a question.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. The safety and comfort of our guests are very important to us, and drivers should ensure passengers have the opportunity to be seated before the tour continues whenever it is safe and practical to do so. We also understand how frustrating it can be when a question submitted through a booking platform does not receive the response you were expecting. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant team for review, as feedback like yours helps us identify areas where we can improve the customer experience. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Flavius@BigBusTours

Linda_R, Sep 2026
Easy and convenient. Great way to see the city. In liked the open double Decker to see an unobstructed view

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you found the tour easy, convenient, and a great way to see the city. The open-top double-decker buses really do offer a unique perspective, and we're glad you enjoyed the unobstructed views of the city's highlights. Thank you for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you on board again soon for another memorable experience! Alex@BigBusTours

Scam Operation

Tim_W, Sep 2026
Scam operation. Waited in line with other families only to have the bus leave us all standing there. Called Victor, who is part of Trip Asvisor. After spending a lot of time on the phone, we were told by a supervisor we would be rescheduled and that they would email us confirmation by the end of the day. No email confirmation was received. When we called back the next day, we were told there was nothing they could do. Now we are left to have to file fraud with our credit card.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Emma, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to wait with your family only to be unable to board the bus, especially after being advised that you would be rescheduled and would receive a confirmation email. We sincerely apologize that this follow-up did not happen and that you were later told there was nothing that could be done. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly regret the inconvenience caused and hope we can have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Audio is terrible

Calvin_Y, Sep 2026
The audio was not aligned with the sites and it kept repeating the same information. My husband was so annoyed that he took the headset off. For the price they charge, they could fix the audio and get rid of the lame attempt at humor, as well.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Calvin! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am very sorry to hear about the issues you and your husband experienced with the audio synchronization and commentary content. We understand how frustrating it is when the narration does not align with the sights or feels repetitive. Your feedback regarding both the technical alignment and the tone of the commentary is very valuable, and I have shared it directly with our product team for immediate review. To help us look into your booking and assist you further, could you please provide your booking reference number or the email address used for the purchase? We appreciate your patience and look forward to assisting you. ​I hope you have a lovely day!

Loved the history

Stephanie_C, Sep 2026
Great time had by all, we laughed and were educated to some of the sites along the Thames, we were given some ideas on what to do at our stop!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great time, enjoyed learning more about the sights along the Thames, and found our team’s recommendations helpful. We hope to welcome you back on board for another Big Bus adventure in the future!

Look, Admire, Move On!

Kathy_S, Sep 2026
Simon was an excellent and entertaining guide. Chris was a great driver and kept us safe throughout our travels. Our visits to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath were short and fast-paced, but allowed ample time for us to see what we wanted to see. And we saw some beautiful English countryside throughout our travels. We highly recommend this trip!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Kathy! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Simon and Chris. They will be delighted to know their efforts made your trip special and safe! It’s fantastic that you enjoyed exploring Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath, and the beautiful English countryside. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future! Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam

Much too long!

Debra_W, Sep 2026
It showed that the round trip should be 2 and a half hours. It was almost 5 hours! We almost missed our evening plans because of it. The traffic was horrible!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Debra! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and I am truly sorry to hear that your tour took so much longer than expected. While our route usually takes about 2.5 hours under normal conditions, unexpected heavy traffic in the city can severely impact travel times. I completely understand how frustrating it is to deal with such long delays, especially when you have evening plans scheduled. We really appreciate your patience during the tour, and I will share your feedback with our operations team to see how we can better inform guests about live traffic delays in the future. Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam

Lisa_M, Sep 2026
The red route hit the most popular sights and took about 2 hours. Audio commentary is provided. Sit on top if it’s not raining! The river cruise was short but nice although sometimes difficult to see.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Red Route and found it to be a great way to see the city's most popular sights. We're also pleased that you enjoyed the audio commentary and the river cruise, even with some viewing challenges along the way. We appreciate your helpful tip about sitting on the top deck for the best views when the weather cooperates, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another memorable sightseeing adventure! Ciprian @ Big Bus Tours

Great way to see London

Mary_J, Sep 2026
Excellent tour! Lots of stops where a Big Bus guide was at the stop to answer questions if necessary. Busses came frequently and the audio on board was clear and easy to follow.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi, Mary! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found our buses frequent, the onboard audio clear, and our team at the stops helpful. We really appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! Andreea@BigBusTours

Was a great way to see main Tourist attractions. Mind you we had to change buses a few times. Change of drivers, bus had mechanical problems. Wish there was more information and less music.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Surprisingly Disappointing

Matthew_K, Sep 2026
The bus broke down, and we weren’t told about it for at least 15 minutes while stopped. Then at the end, we were waiting for 20 minutes only to be informed that the bus wouldn’t move for another 20. The driver pressed the destination buttons late, so we couldn’t really enjoy each stop. Left the tour to take the tube.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the disruption to your tour. We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience a vehicle breakdown, face extended waiting times without timely updates, and receive limited information about the situation. We also regret that the stop announcements were not delivered as expected, which affected your ability to fully enjoy and experience each location along the route. Providing a smooth and enjoyable sightseeing experience is our goal, and it is disappointing to learn that we fell short during your visit. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams so they can review the communication provided during service disruptions, as well as the operation of stop announcements. We appreciate you taking the time to bring these issues to our attention and hope we will have the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future. Flavius@BigBusTours
