Fantastic Way to see Hong Kong - Great Value

The tours were on time, informative and good value.
The extra bonus tours were all for fantastic experiences - we covered most of all the MUST SEE Hong Kong sites.
Would recommend Big Bus Tours for first time visitors and those who want to see the sites of Hong Kong again :-)

Disappointed

After waiting an hour at a designated stop for a bus, the tourist office (at the stop) called Big Bus Tours for me and I was told that the stop had been moved because of a public holiday. There was no sign, and no notification on the website. Needless to say, I cancelled my ticket and used Uber instead.

Great experience

Great experience, good routes. But would like to hear more diverse history or facts about the city on different routes. Too much repetition.

Bad customer service, I cannot recommend

I bought a 2 day deluxe pass online - at the end of day one, i realised i had lost the paper tickets that had been issued before I got on the bus - that is to say, I lost the unused tickets that were valid for the following day. I thoufht that wouldn't be a problem since I had purchased them online. I sent an e-mail asking the company to re-issue them so that I could use them for my second day, and the reply was that it wasn't possible, taht my purchase was the same as if I had bought the tickets on the street. ZERO customer service, I wasted my money, dont recommend the service.

Great trip

An extremely good and enjoyable way to see Hong Kong Very good value for money and the fast track for the tram to the peak is an absolute bonus. Would highly recommend

Not worth all the waiting

Wait time to collect tickets booked online was very long. Why offer online booking at all when you can’t use it and have to line up for your ticket like everyone else? Once you have a ticket, the wait to get on a bus is terrible also - we waited nearly another hour. Experience on the bus was fine, clean modern vehicles. Routes were made very interesting with the commentary. Again wait times to get to the tram to The Peak were terrible. People should be warned to allow extra time in their sightseeing for this as the ‘priority’ entry only helps a little and still a 40 minute wait each way and no priority entry coming back.

Anyone seen my bus?

The buses are nicely kept and the prerecorded points of interest are fairly well done. The down side is that the buses don't run very often. You could have a half hour wait if you missed your bus by a minute or so.
