They change the route and...

Levon_A, Jun 2026

They change the route and didn’t update map. We were waiting 1.5 hours but bus didn’t come. We took taxi to travel to stating point of tour.

We understand how frustrating this must have been and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We kindly invite you to contact us at info@bigbustours.com so we can take a closer look into this matter with you. Adrian @BigBusTours

Not a Good Choice. Wish we had chosen a different company.

Jane_S, May 2026

Wish we had chosen the other company. We apparently just missed a bus at our arrival spot to board, and were told we had to wait 45 minutes for our next boarding. But then that bus was delayed for mechanical issues. So after waiting an hour after we arrived, we finally boarded! Then the audio guide was not synced with the ride so that we learned about "what we had already passed by." I told the rep on board and was told it was a GPS problem they were working on. We rode the entire route back to the starting point and hopped off for lunch. We then at the same place and fortunately on this bus, the audio at least was synced. But once we got off on a designated stop, looked around, and returned to the same drop off stop, we waited, and the driver of the next bus (which was totally empty) drove right past us despite both my husband and I waving and trying to chase it down. We tried to call the phone number but that was not successful. We decided to walk to the next stop. As we waited, several of the other company's buses passed by but not any of the Big Bus. Another couple was waiting with us and told us their HOHO bus company had a reciprocal agreement that their ticket holders could ride whichever bus arrived first. So we tried twice to see if the other company might let us board theirs but was told no. Finally when the next bus came, it was actually the last bus of the day, so when we hopped off at the site we had next intended to visit, it meant we had to pay to take a taxi back. I totally wish I had not prebooked this company and had taken the opportunity to talk to the local reps before deciding which company to take. Clearly there was and is a difference between the competition. When I contacted the customer service after we returned to where we were staying, I assumed our pass would be extended for another day. But no, they could not do that, and offered to refund our tickets. Since we will be traveling for a bit, I can't easily check until we return home and I certainly hope they honor what they said.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the multiple issues you experienced, including delays, the audio guide, and difficulties boarding. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been during your trip. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope the resolution offered by our customer support team was helpful. Florin @ Big Bus Tours

Not enough buses for pick-ups

Vivienne_W, May 2026

We choose Big Bus for it’s online reviews. It did take us to the major sights however whenever we stopped and were waiting for a Big Bus at least 2-3 other City Sightseeing busses came by the stops. Big Bus needed more busses on the road. We were so concerned we stayed on the bus near the end just in case we didn’t get back to the cruise ship on time.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the tour covered the major sights, but we’re sorry to learn about the longer wait times you experienced at the stops. We understand how this could be concerning, especially when working to a schedule like a cruise departure. Your comments regarding bus frequency are very valuable, and we will share them with our local team as we continue to review and improve our service. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to provide you with a smoother experience in the future. Kind regards, Raul (@BigBusTours)
