Commentary didn’t work on multiple seats. We tried different earbuds but ithey still didn’t work. Tried a few different seats before we found some that did work.
Hi Tania_S, we appreciate your feedback. We are really sorry that you had a hard time finding a seat with good working commentaries. Rest assured we'll pass this along and make sure to investigate the issue further. We hope to have the chance to turn your experience around and have you on board again one day soon! Best, Denisa from Big Bus Tours
Not having a live guide is a bust. Program not synced up due to detours
Complete scam — avoid £30 per person for broken audio on multiple buses and a tour that strands you. We were promised buses every 15 minutes at the Royal Botanic Garden. Waited over an HOUR. Nothing. Had to pay for an Uber just to escape. You can't hear the commentary you paid for, and the buses don't actually come — so what exactly am I paying for? Absolute rip-off. Don't waste your money.
The voucher makes it difficult to get tickets. I had to take a taxi to downtown Edinburgh (Waterloo) to exchange voucher for tickets.
Hi Lane! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that exchanging your voucher for tickets was inconvenient and that you had to take a taxi into the city center to do so. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please be assured that we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to review and improve our customer experience. We hope that, despite this inconvenience, you had a great time on the bus and enjoyed your visit to Edinburgh. Calin@BigBusTours
You can see alot of out of the way places in one day that are not on a typical list. The Royal Botanic Gardens is a great way to spend time in a natural environment and learn about native plants!
Hi, Holly! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring some of the city's hidden gems and that you had a great experience visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the opportunity to discover more of the city and its beautiful natural surroundings. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! Andreea@BigBusTours!
Our hotel was in the absolute center of Edinburgh, making it very easy to reach many sights on foot. However, with the HiHo bus, there is the opportunity to learn about various notable points of the city in different languages. You would not be able to reach all these interesting places on foot in such a short time. If you think ahead about where you would like to get off and visit, it makes the most sense in my opinion. Cool, the ticket is valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase, so with a thoughtful timing, you can use it efficiently over two days.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the tour helpful for exploring Edinburgh and that the flexibility and multilingual commentary added to your experience. It’s great to know you were able to make the most of your time with a bit of planning. We appreciate you sharing your insights and hope to welcome you on board again in the future. Andrei@BigBusTours
Very good service and good information in French about the history of the tour. The only downside was waiting for the bus without a bus shelter during the rain, with bus arrivals every hour.
Hi jocou1358. Thank you for taking the time to provide your insights! We are pleased to know that you enjoyed our bus tour, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on board in the future. Best regards, Razvan @BigBusTours
Travelled on the red route and blue. Worth getting the 48 hr. Excellent being able to hop on and off. Very regular. Perfect way to see the City
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed both routes and made the most of the 48-hour ticket. It’s great to hear the service was frequent and that the hop-on, hop-off experience was a perfect way to explore the city. We hope to see you again soon! Raul@BigBusTours
Great tour of the inner city with the red route and the blue route around the outer city. Bus drivers and all staff at the stops were fantastic to talk to. Highly recommend this comps
