Big Bus Tours Budapest Reviews 599

Fine tour with hop on hop off. Coud be cheaper.

Not enough commentary on the bus.
On the river cruise, the commentary was lagging 15 minutes-annoying.

We like it. Its a no-brainer, although it cost more than using public transportation daily passes. The buses are claener than the other 3 competeing companies. However it does not run frequent enough. No as frequent as other companies we see.

We arrived in Budapest at the main train station. The Big Bus stop there was very difficult to find, we actually walked past it without seeing the tiny sign and in the end had to phone them up for help. Also it wasn't very clear if the bus you were getting on to was on the red or blue route.

There are many different hop on hop off operators. The Big busses are not as crowded as the some of the others. The information is a bit short and instead of the paus music they should have some history about Budapest.
The river cruise boat included in the premium and Deluxe ticket is a bit small and the seats are facing away from the windows. Try to go in the evening. Rating 3,5/5

great city, great experience. thank you!

nice tours, but in several busses the audio system was broken in several seat rows

Good experience and informative - nothing wrong - buses clean and tidy and the earphones worked well - in all languages.

Only comment would be frequency of buses we did find a couple of times when we hoped off there could be a 30+ minute wait whilst the buses were doing their circuits.

Impressive facts about history and helpful information for visiting different places. The boat trip included was very nice.

The overall experience was average. I would suggest the following (1) the stops were not in sync with the recorded voice on the bus and oftentimes the stops were not announced (2) there is no guide on the bus to tell you where you are at the stop so if the recording is not in sync and you miss the stop you're out of luck (3) there is no service to speak of as the only one on the bus is the driver so you are left to your own devices and the recording through the earplugs.The river cruise was nice as was the evening tour, but again, nobody there to welcome you or be a guide. Somewhat dissapointing.

We have used the Big Bus services first in Budapest, then in Rome. Great services, interesting story about the sightseeing points and great WiFi.
We have enjoyed services very much

It was a nice way to go around town, but could definitely have been a better experience with friendlier drivers and working commentary. (The swedish commentary sometimes was replaced by spanish.... )

I was super disappointed in our Big Bus Tour in Budapest. The stops were never marked clearly or correctly. The timetables were all sorts of messed up and we ended up walking more than riding because it just was hard to use. I have never had an issue with Big Bus until Budapest which was sad because I talked great things to my friend who was with me (first timer). The boat was very nice and relaxing but overall I was very unsatisfied with our tour! Even the audio was dull.

Good way to cover the City
Not 5 because of Bus Frequency. Plus the stop numbers were not covered in the Audio

Wish there had been more information and less music.

Great introduction to a new city. Takes you to all of the best spots so you don't have to miss anything.

Great way to see the city with very professional employees. Please be sure to check the route times for Sundays- the bus runs quite infrequently.

Great service. Never had to wait long for a ride

The Big Bus Budapest was good - as expected. All of the 'hop on/hop off' tours are the same and work to a proven format. The headphones and equipment worked fine. The buses were clean. Once we had to wait 30 mins for a blue tpur bus but mostly they were fairly regular.

The bus drivers and staff didn't bother to check our tickets properly (or at al) and the other competitirs' sales staff seened much more proactiveat getting business. This was good for us, as we could easily get a seat on the top deck!

Bus routes were quite comprehensive covering all major attractions, staff was friendly and helpful. Best part of the whole package was night tour and Danube cruise.
