Big Bus Tours Hong Kong Reviews 

We book in many Cities „ Big Bus Tours“ but in Hongkong there was two things, we have to kritisice!

You have to wait in every case 45 min in every Stopp for the Next Bus to come!

In all of the 3 Hongkong Lines you hear the sometimes same coments and it is much to less, what you hear of the city and the history of Hongkong- Most of the Time you hear Music!

Great info on recordings.
Sky 100 would not take electronic voucher so I had to leave the tower to to the next stop and figure out how to get back. So I picked the peak instead but the lines were ridiculous so I did not get to do that either.
Big Buss should advise on a plan for the time I had.

Lady at Hong Kong City shuttle was most helpful.

We purchased a 2 day bells and whistles pass. The Blue line on Kowloon was a non event a too few stopping points. The two routes on the Island were not too bad. The one hour harbour cruise was quite good. We did the Sandpan ride which was really good. For the money it was only average, but it was far to far on Kowloon to walk to our nearest pick up point. I would use the MRT and Bus if we ever went again.

We have used Big Bus in many parts of the world,.including numerous cities in Europe, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, & Oman, and have used other Hop-On-Hop-Off services in places as far afield as Singapore and Brisbane ... but we found the Hong Kong experience less satisfactory than all of these. The Green Line in particular really disappointed us - the bus was very noisy and uncomfortable and the sound system so poor - both the equipment, and as far as we were able to hear it, the content - it fell very far below our expectations. The Blue Line experience was better - a more recent, more comfortable bus, somewhat clearer sound, and for at least part of the route the comments were helpful and informative, but overall there is so much more that we would like to have been told about the buildings and sites we were passing, about the history, politics and economy of the place, rather than almost continuous and monotonous music interspersed by the occasional rather banale comments. In addition we, and several other customers were very frustrated by an exceptionally long wait at the ICC (Sky 100) stop for a buis that did not arfrive on schedule

I was only in town for a few hours between flights and this was a great way to see the city and find out more about the culture.

Was left at Aberdeen for over an hour as buses were full .Did not bother with second day pass and used Uber taxi instead .Have used big bus before and always been satisfied,so this may be a one off .

Good facilities, clean bus
But driver drives too fast like a normal HK bus, Kowloon night tour route nothing special.

The itinerary works and it is a great way to see Hong Kong. However, communication and directions were poor, making getting around difficult. The drivers were not able to even point me in the right direction when getting off the bus, and finding the stop in Kowloon after getting off the Star Ferry was not easy.

There could be a little more cultural info/background information during death moments. The spaces between commentary where long. So longue moments with only music, over en over again the same music...
They also didn't warn us that a outlook point (Sky 100) was booked for a private event en not open to the public. We had the tickets but couldn't use them.

Wait times for the buses are very long, 30 to 45 min. It looks like a great service on the website, but you are not able to visit all stops due to the wait times. I’d suggest to take public transportation instead to move around Hong Kong. It’s cheap, fast and easy.

Pasa por los lugares importantes pero no esta tan claro en donde son las paradas, incluso aveces pasan y no esperan un tiempo pra llegar al bus.

Espere en un lugar mucho tiempo y el hombre iba a seguir de largo ni siquiera iba a parar.

El tour de noche es la misma linea azul pero de 6 a 7 no vale la pena hacerlo.

Of all the big bus tours I've done, Hong Kong has been the least enjoyed. The ticket checkers at their number 1 stop were abrupt and unwelcoming. We stopped there for the best part of 30 minutes which ate into valuable time. The traffic in Hong Kong is very slow and after doing the blue route after lunch and NOT getting off I had no time to do any other routes. It was expensive for the amount of time you could actually "site see".

We ordered the deluxe 2 day ticket online and found it to be ideal for our two days sightseeing in Hong Kong. It covered Star Ferry crossings, harbour tour, sampan ride at Aberdeen and return Victotia Peak tram
Only reservation was the ridiculous speed of an early red tour by a boorish driver who made it pretty impossible to view sights mentioned in the commentary. As Other reviewers have mentioned it is difficult to find en route stops unless you are returning to one you have previously alighted at. The presence nearby of big bus staff often overcame the problem, but not always. Staff were mostly helpful especially at the Victoria Peak tram.

Wir hatten am 03. und 04.11.2018 das „Vergnügen“. Der 1. hatte ein anderes Ziel angezeigt, als er angefahren hat. Richtige Haltestellen gibt es für diese Busse nicht, die Haltestellen sind auch nirgends angezeigt. In 2 Bussen funktionierte die Sprachansage nicht, in einem nur auf englisch. Zum Ein- und Aussteigen halten die Busse bei viel Verkehr in der 2. und 3. Reihe. An 4 Haltepunkten waren Mitarbeiter, diese hatten aber ausschließlich Interesse am Verkauf von Fahrscheinen und mussten für Fragen mehrfach angesprochen werden. In Hongkong ist dieses Unternehmen aus unserer Erfahrung nicht zu empfehlen.

Absolutely horrible. They have three lines with only one bus running. We got off the bus three times and has to wait 40 min, 50 mins and 1.5 hrs. Another lady waiting with us had waited 2 hrs and than got a cab. The 1.5 he wait I was told there was an accident. Really than why is I saw 30 buses go by in 1.5 hrs. I have take many hop on and off buses in other Countries never experienced this before. My advice book with another company.

Pick up points are not prominent of highlighter properly ( example- 100 storey building- one hour search could not find it, later I had to take taxi). Only ferry peer 7 you can find somebody. There also for harbour tour(actually of 30-40 min), no body to guide you at entry point , no signage or information. Your guide at peer 7 were co operative but irritate soon with english language. I purchase deluxe ticket, did not have night tour, as big bus services closes by 7PM in much day light. Buses are very good, absolutely clean, AC was super, Commentary Fabulous, all routes are excellently selected. Yes, I have enjoyed!!!!

Great service here was soured by the lack of contact we hav received about our being charged twice when we originally booked our tickets. Still waiting for the issue to be sorted.

It was a very good tour, but it was hard to find the re-boarding points when you did the hop on hop off to see the sites. But over all enjoyable and I will use Big Bus in other cities
