Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Tour operator is fraudulent. The museum has confirmed that the audio files that they provide as the paid part of this service are property of the museum and available free of charge on their website or via SoundCloud. The timed entry tickets are free tickets which have been resold for commercial gain by the operator. The operator will suggest that the entry tickets are free, which is true but they order them in bulk from the museum and resell them as part of a package with the stolen audio files. This is criminal activity for commercial gain. The museum asked me to contact Viator/Tripadvisor to remove their listing but they have yet to do so despite apparently understanding my concerns and that of the museum. Viator/Tripadvisor also refuse to refund those who have been victim to this fraud despite acknowledging the issue, saying that refund policies of this fraudulent operator take precedent over the law! This is nonsense, in the UK the law is clear that as the payment provider Viator/Tripadvisor have a legal obligation to return funds from proceeds of a crime. I have submitted a crime report and will be contacting my card issuer. Until and unless Viator/Tripadvisor act on this fraud, please heed this warning and do not purchase this audio tour.
    Images attached to this review show the Google drive link sent by the operator, note the audio files are identical to those shown on the museum website and on SoundCloud. I also include a screenshot of the museum website which states tickets cannot be resold for commercial gain.

    My experience with Big Bus Tours as a physically disabled individual using a wheelchair and crutches.

    Initially, there was a problem with receiving the promised free carer ticket, despite prior confirmation from the company. The ticket seller at the bus stand refused to honor this but was polite and seemed unaware of the policy. After contacting the company, they apologized and reimbursed the carer ticket, handling the situation well.

    Key points:

    Tip: Confirm free carer tickets via the company’s chatbot and follow their instructions for online booking.

    Tour experience: The tour itself was highly enjoyable, informative, and worth the cost.

    Recommendations:

    1. Big Bus should revise its policy to allow compact mobility scooters similar in size to prams.

    2. Staff should be trained to lower ramps for wheelchair users, as the user’s carers had to lift the wheelchair manually.

    Highly recommend this tour! Our guide was fantastic, and seeing the historical photos really brought the stories to life. I appreciated how the tour focused on the victims of the crimes as well as the crimes themselves.

    We had the best time! My long distance boyfriend from Argentina is here visiting and this was a really amazing way of seeing the sights in a unique way. The ship we sailed on was called Hollywood, which had indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar selling coffee and snacks. We particularly loved Captain Dean’s commentary. It was super interesting. He included a lot of unique facts, he was personable, has a huge knowledge of London and most importantly was really funny! I learned a lot about my city that I’ve lived in for 10 years now. I got the impression they don’t always do commentary so I highly recommend asking for it when you board and maybe bring some cash/ change to tip. The sights were fantastic with a lot of great photo opportunities. We learnt a lot! Really worth it and pretty reasonably priced for what you get. A unique way to see London. Highly recommend

    - must ask for commentary
    - must bring an umbrella for unpredictable British weather

    Had a fantastic visit with an excellent exhibition and great value for money. The experience was made even better with a lovely complimentary drink. Visiting in the evening meant it was pleasantly quiet.

    A must for all Harry Potter fans. The tour company was very well organised. We had four hours to go around the studio which was just enough. You will need all that time!

    Ludmila was good, we were late for the tour but able to find her at Westminster Abbey, the security guard helped us find our guide, she was very helpful and took and initiative to find the tour guide and took us inside and joined us with the group. This was the highlight of our tour. The tour guide was very thorough and kept us engaged despite the group getting smaller at each tourist stop. St James street and the history or every shop was amazing. So was the stories of the royal families.

    Second time visiting the Abbey and as always it is beautiful and you will always see something new. Please be aware you MUST have a printed copy of your ticket. Why I don’t know but it can be a bit inconvenient if you purchased the tickets and don’t have access to a printer. If you purchased from Evan Evans tour company you can go to their office in London and they will print it for you. Entrance process was efficient once you figured out what entrance to use. Plenty of staff around for information. We spent 2 hours there and could have stayed longer. Terribly crowded as usual.

    Wonderful experience to be part of the inner circle and enjoy Stonehenge from inside. Robert was an incredible guide, well informed and spirited! Also our driver got us to be on time, early in the morning and Stonehenge rewarded us with an amazing sun rising over the landscape. Definitely, an unforgettable tour, thank you!

    Had a great experience with James as our tour guide. He was fantastic, knowledgeable and had a wonderful charm making the trip more enjoyable. Ricardo helped keep our tour moving on the road safely and smoothly. Lacock and Bath are unique experiences well worth having a visit at some point.

    Do keep in mind you'll be doing a 12 hour tour so make sure you've got the stamina to commit before booking this tour.
