Disappointing.

I was told largest mall in world and got off bus but never found the mall. Hundreds os stores everywhere. Then got lost and could not find hop on hop off bus stop. More is a nightmare than a good experience. Sad. Only 1 day in Hong Kong.

Hop on this bus!

On my first day in Hong Kong, I did all three of their tours, the Red, the Green, and the Blue (actually did the Green one twice, it was that cool!). It was a great way to get your bearings in a city that feels overwhelming when you arrive. You get a better sense of specific places along these routes that you might want to come back to on your own (OR, you can just hop off the bus and explore them right then). The sheer variety of the locations was spectacular and the pre-recorded voices on your earphones, telling you about the historical & cultural & architectural importance of the sights passing by, was totally charming and informative. After I did these tours, I was no longer intimidated by Hong Kong and felt so ready to get out into the city, which is exactly what I did for the remainder of my week there. This bus tour is fantastic, especially if the weather isn't great and you just want to see as much as possible in a day. Also, all 4 drivers I had were highly professional and safety oriented. The staff of the company all wear the easy-to-spot maroon shirts and are stationed at multiple kiosks along the promenade and at the piers on both sides of Victoria Harbour. Super available to help you at every turn. I can whole-heartedly recommend this company and their excellent service.

Best Way to See and Learn Hong Kong

There is SO much to see and learn about Hong Kong that The Big Bus is an excellent way to explore. The Green Route takes you to the absolutely gorgeous costal areas of HK Island and the Red Route helps you to understand. The Big Bus staff are the nicest group of people you'll ever meet. They go out of their way to help you choose the appropriate package and are always available for directions at the various stops. Highly recommend!

Easy Travel Through Hong Kong

It was a great way to see the sights of Hong Kong! We walked to the main stop and used the bus to visit various locations brought the city. We usually sit on the bus for one whole loop and then use it throughout our stay.

Great customer service

Ces greeted us at the meeting location and was super friendly and helpful. There were 3 routes and she let us know which ones to take so that we had time to see as much of HK as possible in the little time that we had. She even escorted us right to the ferry so we wouldn’t get lost. The tour itself was very informative and the lower level of the bus was air conditioned so it was very comfortable in the heat of May.

Operator response

Dear Heidi, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how helpful and friendly Ces was during your visit. Delivering that level of dedicated hospitality—ensuring you could seamlessly navigate the city and maximize every moment of your limited schedule—is exactly what we strive for. It brings us great joy to know that our onboard comfort and insights enhanced your journey through Hong Kong. We are deeply grateful for your kind words and for choosing Big Bus Tours. We truly look forward to the privilege of welcoming you back for another exceptional adventure in the future! Best Wishes, The Big Bus Tours Team

48hr hop on hop off 5 star experience…

Booked a 48hr hop on hop off bus ticket. This included the three day routes, red, blue & green which give you a good all round tour of Hong Kong, Stanley & Kowloon. Included tickets for Star Ferry & one ticket for either Peak Tram, Water Taxi Harbour cruise or Sampan Houseboat visit. Peak Tram included the Sky Terrace view which gives great 360 degree views. Fabulous tours made all the better by the cheery drivers & helpful sales staff who make sure you find your stops & don’t miss out on a wonderful friendly city. Special thanks & big smiles to Cyrus, Lorna & others who made it a 5 star 10 out of 10 trip. Thank you 😊

Hong Kong in 1 day.

Can do all 3 routes in 1 day but NO time to get off except for 1 spot. Not even lunch. I stopped at peak tram. Recommended that. Hong Kong has too much to offer. Pace yourself. 2day pass a must.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review! We really appreciate you sharing these great tips and recommendations with our community. Thank you for choosing Big Bus Tours! Best Wishes, The Big Bus Tours Team

Don't recommend Monday tours.

Bus stopped at shopping center where the majority of the shops were closed on a Monday and museum that closed on Mondays. There were no other attractions or shops at the museum site and we just waited for the next bus. Driver was unaware that the museum closed on Mondays. Also given incorrect information regarding the site for Water Taxi Harbour Cruise.

Operator response

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closed venues and the confusion regarding the Water Taxi location. While the operating hours of local attractions are managed independently, we strive to keep our guests as informed as possible. We have shared your comments with our team to ensure our staff and route information are better updated to help guests plan their day more effectively. We appreciate your patience and hope to provide you with a smoother experience next time. Best Wishes, The Big Bus Tours Team
