You can discover new places

Along with the major headline attractions, the joy of Big Bus is that you can stop off between big-ticket sights and check out some of the city’s lesser-known spots.

It’s easy to get to attractions

Nothing says “I’m a confused tourist” more than standing in the middle of a busy street with a giant folding map. Big Bus makes life a lot easier by taking you right to the tourist sights. Forget navigating public transport or using up your data trying to google directions, just hop on the next Big Bus and you’ll be on your way.

It’s flexible

Unlike your average bus tour, the hop-on, hop-off element of a Big Bus tour means you can see as much as you want to. Buses run throughout the day along Big Bus’ tour routes, so jump on and off as often as you wish.

You’ll learn along the way

Every bus has a guide who’ll impart fun and entertaining local knowledge of your chosen city, so you’ll be sure to pick up some interesting historical or cultural tidbits that you might not have discovered on your own. Or if you’d prefer, you can pick the pre-recorded commentary in Spanish, French, German, Italian. Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean or Russian.
