Big Bus Tours

Big Bus Tours runs open-top hop-on hop-off sightseeing buses in cities including London, Paris, New York and Dubai, among others in Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia. Tickets come in options covering one or more days, sometimes bundled with attraction entry, river cruises or walking tours. Commentary is mainly recorded audio in several languages, with live guides on selected routes in some cities. The Big Bus app can show route maps and bus locations, which helps plan stops. It suits visitors who want a structured overview of a city and transport between sights on one ticket. Consider the frequency of buses at your travel time, whether traffic is likely to slow routes, and whether a combination ticket includes attractions you actually plan to visit.
