This trip was the same value as all the Big Bus tours around the world. Excellent value. Hopefully we will be able to use them again soon. Cheers Steve and Arne

Nice experience!
Nov. 2019 • Solo
Really likes the tour. Just had 3 days in HK back in November and took the bus to get an idea of the city and its spirit. Enjoyed everything! Thanks!

One comment: Could you tell me the soundtrack of the bus? In particular the traditional accoustic song that reminded me of a martial arts/fight movie?

Perfect Layover Activity to Explore the City
Feb. 2020
What a great way to spend a 15 hour lay over in Hong Kong!
We stopped in Hong Kong on our way to Vietnam. And I'm so glad that we did.
Hong Kong is such an awesome place, even from the little bit that I experienced (can't wait to come and visit Hong Kong specifically) we did the one tours of the Old Town Central tour with a Peak Tram Sky Pass.
It was really a great way to be able to explore and learn about the city. The audio is very detailed and informative and the stops are awesome!

Luckily the Big Bus Sightseeing starting point is right by the IFC Mall which is connected to the International airport by train, so it makes it the perfect activity to do, and the easiest way to explore a city you haven't really done much research on.

Definitely worth doing while in Hong Kong, especially during a long lay over from the airport.

So much waiting!
Feb. 2020 • Couples
Compared to other city tours I have done, this was poor. Infrequent buses with lots of waiting around and one bus route out of three each day didn't operate. Better and much cheaper to use public transport.

Good way to see various neighbourhoods of hong kong
Feb. 2020
While not cheap this is a good way to see quite a distance in hong kong. There are 3 routes - kowloon, hong kong island and stanley. The stanley route is definately worthwhile as you see a completely side to hong kong. The service is not a great hop on/hop off service as buses only run every 45 to 60 minutes and when you get back to the beginning the bus sits for at least half an hour before commencing again. Best to think of as 3 tours. You can use their app to track where buses are but we never use our data whilst travelling and rely on free wi-fi

Shop in Kowloon not in Stanley
Jan. 2020
We purchased two De Luxe tickets because we wanted to fit in as much as possible in the two days we had available in Hong Kong. The night tour and Sampan ride were great fun. Our only disappointment was the market at Stanley which we felt was over hyped in order to boost tourism in southern Hong Kong Island. Our shopping time would have been much better spent at the markets on Temple Street in Kowloon.

3 days to see as much as possible
Nov. 2019
Taking an extended lay over in Hong Kong provided an opportunity to taste the culture and experience Hong Kong . Despite the protests taking place, the sight seeing busses provided a safe and informative tour. The tour busses need to keep pace wth traffic and this results in glimpses of some of the sights however there is ample ability to hop off and wa about. The Staff are able to suggest the best tour to take and schedule to catch the next bus. The Star Ferry connects well with the Red, Blue and Green lines - we took the cable car up the mountain and toured Stanley market. This was great value and allowed me to get some great photos.
