The big bus stops at all of the main attractions and the time between buses is just enough. Great drivers and the audio information is excellent
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Fay_S,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We are grateful to know that you enjoyed the commentary and the service overall! We provide ongoing training for our team to ensure that you consistently receive a 5-star service. We hope to see you again on one of our buses in the future! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

Great clean bus with audio guide. The top of the bus can be opened on a good day for open air viewing. The Green line took us all around the city and we got to see so many landmarks.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Paggy_H,
Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased to know that you had the chance to see so many new landmarks! We also recommend using the Live Tracking feature on our app to help plan your route on the day. We would be happy to see you again in the future! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

Not many memorable points, useful tour for a whistle stop tour but no chances to jump on or off.
Headphones are not packaged separately so who knows where they have been.
Biggest positive it was a 24hr ticket.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Michael_F,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We are sorry to read that the service did not meet your expectations this time. We hope that you will consider riding with us again, as we are sure you would have a better time! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

I’ll give it 3 stars but all these other reviews are accurate and I’ve witnessed it myself. They have two bus tours the green line which has 7 stops and the orange line that has 3. I’ve yet to discover it on Viators site and the agent claim it’s listed here. I use a mobile device no where does it state it’s two lines and 11 stops. It could be pushed into 1 route to be honest. I think it’s more of a money grab stating they have two different routes. The tours are short, they claim to be an hour, probably because they sit at some stops for 10 mins. They’re unorganized, I’ve seen 4 buses sitting at stop 1 when they could be utilized somewhere else. I have also witnessed the stops and audio being out of sync, long pauses of nothing. I’m not sure if it’s the driver pushing the button early, or the locations off and there are some buildings that should have audio and didn’t. It is not worth what they’re charging. Big Bus do better.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Stephen_M,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! It really helps us to improve our services. We apologize for the audio issues we encountered, and we are very sorry to hear that the service did not meet your expectations this time. We will do our best to fix the sync issue as soon as possible! We really hope that you will consider giving us another try in the future! Best wishes. Cristian T, Big Bus Tours

Too long in between buses. Not enough stops: not worth the price. The thirty minutes it took to do the loop had good audio commentary at least
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Linda_K,
Thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry for the long wait time. The frequency of our buses may be affected by traffic conditions, leading to possible delays. We recommend using the Live Tracking feature on our app to help plan your route on the day.

This was a great way to see places of interest for those who can’t do a lot of walking. But I do wish we could have hopped off whenever we wanted.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the tour helpful for seeing the sights comfortably.
We’re sorry if the hop-on experience didn’t feel as flexible as expected. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continue to improve the service.
Kind regards,

It was very confusing and not the best organized on off bus tour at the beginning. I was put on the wrong bus and did the stadium tour which was interesting but I am not a football fan. When I explained this to the tour guide he just said tough you are stuck with us. So this took 4 hours. I did manage to jump on the correct bus when I got back and did see some great sights but didn't have time to get off and explore as much as I wanted to. The commentary on the bus was good. I jumped off once at the Olympic tower and the views were amazing but I was very rushed as the bus ends at 5pm.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the start of your tour was confusing and that you were placed on the wrong bus, which impacted your overall experience.
We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the commentary and some of Munich’s sights, including the Olympic Tower views. However, we understand your frustration about losing valuable time and not being able to explore as much as planned. Your comments will be shared with our local team to help improve communication and organization at the start of the tour.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Kind regards,
Raul (@BigBusTours)

We like the hop on bus for first day to see what we want to visit. This was a little confusing because it crossed lines so you had to get on different busses to see everything.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the clean bus and found the tour useful for getting an overview of the city.
We’re sorry to hear that the route connections were a bit confusing. Your comments are helpful, and we will share them with our team to improve clarity for future guests.
Kind regards,

I had an enjoyable hop on hop off tour of Munich city. I took in a lot of the main sites to see on the tour
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad to hear you had an enjoyable tour and were able to take in many of Munich’s main sights along the way.
We hope to welcome you on board again soon for another great experience.

For us Hop On Hop Off buses are an excellent way to send some time on your arrival day after a transatlantic flight. You get the lay of the land in a new city/locations for key places to visit without have to put in much effort. This was the case for us in Munich. The check in point for this Hop On Hop Off bus company was a short walk from our hotel. The two routes and audio commentary (in English) was exactly what we hoped it would be. We would recommend this company.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that our tour was a great way to get oriented in Munich after your journey, and that the routes and commentary met your expectations.
It’s great to know the convenient location and overall experience worked so well for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another Big Bus adventure.
Kind regards,

Many stops were closed. Recorded commentary disappointing as many sites passed were not included. Needs an app so you know when the next bus is coming. Inconvenient to wait for long periods
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet expectations, particularly regarding stop availability, commentary coverage, and waiting times.
Your comments are very helpful, and we will share them with our local team as we continue working to improve the service and overall guest experience.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

The driver had a very horrible attitude. Not to me but to others. You cant even ask him question without giving an attitude. Drivers need to understand that first of all that we are all tourist. If we know already then we wont ask. Patience n good character are missing. If tourist did not exist, they wont have a job.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the driver and the impression it left on your tour.
Providing a welcoming and respectful experience for all guests is extremely important to us, and what you’ve described does not reflect the standards we expect. Your comments will be shared with our local team to ensure this is addressed appropriately.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and for taking the time to share your experience.

We enjoyed our tour. In comparison to others we have done, I felt information was a little small in content.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall.
We appreciate your comments regarding the level of information in the commentary, and we will share this with our team as we continue to enhance the experience for our guests.

This is the perfect introduction to the city of Munich. The upper deck of the bus is the perfect place to take photos of the major sights. The hop on/hop off feature gives the visitor a chance to check out specific areas and then catch the next bus on the route to continue the tour. Earphones plug in to a guided tour narration in whichever language you choose.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you found the tour to be a perfect introduction to Munich and enjoyed the views from the top deck.
It’s great to know the hop-on, hop-off flexibility and multilingual commentary helped you explore the city at your own pace. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Kind regards,
Raul (@BigBusTours)

Pre recorded information is OK. Good to see the city on the top level of the bus. Would not have seen some of the city highlights without the hop on and off experience.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed seeing Munich from the top deck and that the tour helped you discover highlights you might not have seen otherwise.
We appreciate your comments on the audio guide and hope to welcome you again for another enjoyable ride.

It's a good tour! there are 3 routes and like 15 stops (top attractions), you can get out of the bus and explore those stops by yourself! then come back to take another bus. Busses come and go each 20 or 30 minutes!
Just pay attention where you are going or may get lost for a couple of minutes, I got lost looking for a stop. Overall good service!

We signed up for this activity since it was raining when we were there. The bus took us on three different routes and by plugging into their headsets, we were able to get a brief overview of the city's highlights.
Response from Host, May 2026

The information is good and the three routes cover the city. Not all the stops are indicated and the stop numbers should be announced. Be careful, we stayed on the bus after it’s circuit wanting to get off in a couple of stops, but the bus changed routes on us
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the coverage of the city and found the information helpful.
We appreciate your suggestions regarding clearer stop indications and announcements, as well as your experience with the route change. These are valuable insights, and we will share them with our team to help improve clarity and communication for future guests.

The drive through the city center gives a good overview and you can see a lot, but the given info would need a revision in terms of the topicality (e.g. 1.3 million inhabitants?) and should be adapted already seasonally, because in winter you can e.g. not see several already scaffolded statues etc. But it is still worth it and is also completely fine in terms of the ratio price to performance.

Hi Alfred, thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. I truly appreciate you informing us that some of the information that was shared during the tour no longer aligns with the actual sights. I will certainly send your feedback to our department in charge, and I can assure you that some adjustments will be made accordingly. On a brighter note, I am delighted to see that you have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and that you found it to be a great way to learn more about the city while seeing all the important landmarks. Hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, Anca from Big Bus.
