If you have three to four days at Hong Kong, I think the best way to get around and experience the city is the 48 hour ticket on the Big Bus Tour. It comes for HK$420 per head. The double deck buses offer passengers complimentary earphones on which one can listen to the tour commentary in a language of one's... More

We didn't have much longer in Hong Kong when we decided to go on this tour so purchased the single route ticket to take us to Stanley. This cost us $200HKD. In total the whole tour took around 2 hours plus the bit of time we spent exploring Stanley. Premium tickets are quite expensive but you can use these for... More

Awesome introduction to Hong Kong. We bought the 48 hour hop on hop off pass and well and truly got our monies worth! We went on all 4 'tours' Make sure you make time to see the Stanley side of Hong Kong, you'll need at least half a day. After a few trips on the bus we felt confident to... More

Ideal way to see all the sights on a stop over. Trip included tickets for "The Peak" tram, Sampan ride and Star Ferry. Excellent value for money although we did not have the opportunity to use all the tickets due to our limited time in Hong Kong. Would recommend this to any travelers and would do it again if we...

After reading all the other reviews, maybe we just chose the wrong days to do the Big Bus Tour, but I think it was more that it just didnt measure up to other bus tours. I always do the bus tour in the more popular cities, before anything else. I feel it's a really good way of "finding your bearings".... More

Dear Nyree04, I'm sorry that you were disappointed with our service. We always try to act on any feedback. The experience with the guys on the bus is probably down to the fact that they are drivers, and try as we might, we cannot find English peaking drivers......that may answer the communications problem. As for the Night Tour, I admit... More

Big Bus Tours is an efficient and cost-effective way to tour Hong Kong. Get a 2-day ticket for the price of one day (make sure to ask for the discount and coupons). Big Bus tours also included the cost of the Star Ferry. Take the Blue line to Aberdeen and Stanley and make sure that you take the free sampan... More

A really worthwhile experience worth every cent ! Hop off and on at convenient stopping points . I chose to get off at the Peak,Stanley Market, Sampan Ride around Aberdeen Harbour. All entrance tickets are included in your ticket price. Commentary is entertaining and educational. The only downside was the wait for the connecting bus at Stanley. We waited for... More

Decided after reading various articles on The Big Bus Tours, to use their services while on a stop over in Hong Kong.This turned out to be one of the best choices we made during our tour.Very polite and helpful staff, full of interesting knowledge.
