Extremely expensive, a two and a quarter hour round trip in an open top bus I have ever had. I usually take an open top bus trip firstly to find my bearing in a town or city. On this occasion I found that most of the stopping off places to be of little interest and bordering on being boring. I... More

The website and the brochure state you can buy a ticket at any Big Bus stop. Most of the stops didn't even have a sign, let alone anywhere to buy a ticket.

I bought a combined Dubai and Abu Dhabi at a cost of 350 Dirhams. We were actually on a cruise and the bus actually met us by the ship on the port. So this made it very easy. The bus takes you to the main attractions. Especially to the Mosque which is fabulous. To be fair there isn't that many... More

I'm a big fan of big bus as it bring you to all attraction places at reasonable price.The tour starts early,allowing passengers have enough time to spend. The staffs are informative.It would be even more great if big bus covers other cities like taiwan, hokkaido,korea and new zealand.
