Big Bus Tours Budapest Omdömen 602

Generally excellent but longer than scheduled wait on one occasion. Last scheduled blue route appeared to be cancelled but driver was very helpful.
Good value for money. Great walking tours.

Did the two day tour which was good. The two routes cover all the main sights. Be sure to visit the Parliament building, the Spa Baths and the Covered market. Staff helpful and friendly. Don’t bother with the included river cruise in the evening. The windows steamed up on the boat and no commentary just crass music so a waste of time. Walk the river bank instead!

Highly encourage you to utilize this bus tour service.

The tour was mostly enjoyable, but we thought the bus did not come frequently enough, and there was not enough information at or between each stop. The music that played on the system between stops was a bit annoying - I would have preferred to learn more about Budapest.

Reasonable cost with a reliable service that does what it says it will.

We like hop on, hop off bus tours; the offer great freedom to see a city at ones own pace. We visited in late November 2017.

The Buses were clean & punctual & the verbal guides very useful, if possibly not 100% correct: They advised that their is a free bus to Momento Park (where the remanants of USSR control lie), which was wrong & they gave one of 3 different versions of the response from the sculpture of the wonderful Lions on the Chain bridge when told that they were not in fact correct.

Nevertheless, a brilliant introduction to the City & very useful to get about during the day.

The 2 walking tours were 5*: Both Thomas & George were entertaining & informative guides who really knew the city. You must do these. But be aware, they run the Pest tour on odd days & the Buda tour on even days of the month. You can, however, take the tours on a day beyond your ticket dates.

The boat trips were also fun, although the evening trip took an unusual route (possibly due to the Chinese deligation, including the Premier, being in the city at the time) & thus the recorded commentary had no relationship to what was visible at the time. Staff did not explain this, which was ashame.

A note of caution; if it has been raining do not stand or sit by the edge of the boat on deck, as the water on the canvas cover floods over the edge really soaking whoevere is there. Staff did not war of this, which again was a shame as people were soaked & it was a very cold day.

Overall, a worthwhile addition to help get around the city &, notwithstanding a couple of tiny matters that stopped an overall 5* mark, highly recommended.

You need a lot of improvement bus took way too long to pick up

Perfect! Looking forward fo another BB tour!

Staff present on the road was excellent. I would say all the 5 star of big bus cause of staff on road not cause of quality of buses as i found buses are not well maintained.

Buses went to all the places of interest. Good commentary on clear audio communication system. Helpful staff at each of the bus stops.

The busses were on time, clean and the information on key sights was informative. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I traveled by myself and a friend recommended it to me... I couldn’t be more satisfied. The price is affordable and includes several tours. I would recommend it to everyone!

Fine tour with hop on hop off. Coud be cheaper.

Not enough commentary on the bus.
On the river cruise, the commentary was lagging 15 minutes-annoying.

Billets réservés par internet : c’est pratique. Les bus passent régulièrement. Pas trop d’attente .Le circuit rouge donne une bonne idée de la ville. Le circuit bleu recouvre une bonne partie du circuit rouge. Du coup, les commentaires sont les mêmes. Ils sont trop légers: des commentaires sur chaque monument auraient été appréciés. Croisière effectuée de nuit: c’est magnifique ! Dommage que le commentaire soit uniquement en Anglais et inaudible !
Bon accueil.

We like it. Its a no-brainer, although it cost more than using public transportation daily passes. The buses are claener than the other 3 competeing companies. However it does not run frequent enough. No as frequent as other companies we see.

We arrived in Budapest at the main train station. The Big Bus stop there was very difficult to find, we actually walked past it without seeing the tiny sign and in the end had to phone them up for help. Also it wasn't very clear if the bus you were getting on to was on the red or blue route.

There are many different hop on hop off operators. The Big busses are not as crowded as the some of the others. The information is a bit short and instead of the paus music they should have some history about Budapest.
The river cruise boat included in the premium and Deluxe ticket is a bit small and the seats are facing away from the windows. Try to go in the evening. Rating 3,5/5

great city, great experience. thank you!

nice tours, but in several busses the audio system was broken in several seat rows
