I purchased the Toledo Big Bus ticket and tourist band. The bus driver only gave me a Bus ticket. When I enquired after the wristband he grunted at me and indicated I move along. I asked is the tourist band on the bus ticket he said si and then waved me on. When we left the bus at point 7 to do the monastery and synagogue I was told the bus ticket did not get me in and neither the QR code from my booking to had to pay again. I messaged the company as directed by the website but no response. The hop on off I would say isn’t worth the money as once you’re off you either wait an hour for the next bus or simply walk to the next destination. The actual trip around the outside of the city however is good and would recommend the cheaper ticket and just do that
Great tour but very loud and disturbing due to the live commentary in Spanish
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall, but we’re sorry to learn that the live Spanish commentary impacted your experience. We understand how important it is for all guests to comfortably enjoy the tour, and we regret that the volume or delivery was disruptive for you. Your comments are very valuable, and we will share them with our local team to review how we can better balance live commentary so that it enhances the experience for everyone on board. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to provide a more comfortable experience in the future. Flavius@BigBusTours
We purchased 48 hop on and hop off bus with monument bracelet. The big bus was easy to find outside the train station in Toledo. Checking in was easy except they do not give you the bracelets immediately. They need to call the main office in Madrid and then they will send you your code thru WhatsApp. We waited approximately an hour to receive the redemption code. The busses ran about 30 minutes and the stops were easily found throughout the town.
Hello! Thank you for purchasing our hop on and hop off bus with monument bracelet. We apologize for any inconvenience with the redemption code, but we're glad you were able to easily find the busses and stops around town. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had a great experience in Toledo! Razvan@BigBusTours
With its three routes on a single ticket and the possibility to get on and off unlimitedly during its validity, it is a good way to explore the city. The staff was very attentive. The vehicle has Wi-Fi and provides headphones for the audio guides, which are available in several languages. Tip: it is advisable to buy tickets online as they are a bit cheaper than at physical locations.
Expectations are important. Despite the brochure listing 30+ sights, the route visited almost none of them - most of the route was on the road encircling the city, there was only one stop inside the city gates. The bus was just too big to travel inside the city. As a result, the "hop on, hop off" feature is next to useless. Plus, it only stops hourly, so if you get off you will wait an hour to next one. That said, the drive around the city was very scenic and enjoyable -- the best use of this IMO is buy the one hour tour and use it in the afternoon when it is hot and you want a break from walking. Do book directly with the company though. Viator is close to a scam - all they do is buy up all the search results so that they are top of the page, then mark it up 20% for no added value at all. There's a bunch of other similar companies also, not just viator. Scroll down the page and make sure you're buying from the company itself. I paid 39 euros for a tour that the company sells for 30.

Your comments regarding route access, stop frequency, and booking channels are valuable and have been shared with our team as we continue to refine our offerings and communications.

The options for hopping off weren't really there. Wish they gave opportunities to get off at the bridges for photos or in other locations. That said, it was a good way to see the whole city and the options for what to do. The walking tour that came with it was great and we paid extra for the cathedral tour which was also worthwhile.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding the hop‑off opportunities and understand your wish for more photo stops at locations such as the bridges. We’re pleased to hear that you still enjoyed seeing the city overall and found the included walking tour and the cathedral tour worthwhile. Your comments help us continue to refine the experience, and we’re glad Big Bus Tours played a part in your visit. Ciprian @ Big Bus Tours
The walking tour parts were great but the bus part was a little disorganized. Highly recommend the cathedral tour. I wish the bus would have stopped at the old bridges and the dam for pictures etc. It just seemed like there weren't a lot of places to get in and off.

Hi Louis_C. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are happy to learn that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to have you back soon. Best, Vlad from Big Bus Tours.
It was very efficient to get on the big red bus at the train station. Doing the complete loop is a great way to get a sense of the town before exploring it more thoroughly. We also did the cathedral tour option and that was great. Our guide, Mar, was excellent - so knowledgeable and helpful
