Cheap price - for a whole tour

This is a very interesting offer, as it brings the possibility to discover Hong Kong from three different perspectives. In that sense, in my case I went to Hong Kong with my boyfriend. Although we were not actually really lucky (we spent 2 days in Hong Kong and in both of them the rain was heavy), it was enjoyable to go through these buses and to meet the best buildings and places of the city. In some other city tour buses, there is only one possible tour. In this case, you get three and, at the same time, it also includes a ticket with return to cross the bay. I would strongly recommend it, especially for those who (like us) do not have enough time to follow the tours by foot. And even though it rains, it does not matter - you will always be able to discover Hong Kong from the second floor, which is the covered one!

I'm definitely glad we tried this adventure! It was easy to find the bus stops and plenty of rooms for many people. They also provide you with the headphone with different languages so you can learn about the area while passing by. We only used for one route but I think that was worth it enough.

Although bus ride itself was great, we did have trouble with redeeming our voucher at the desk. We had to ask about 5-6 staff members who were on the street and asked where we can redeem our voucher and they all have told us different locations. We ended up taking a ferry ourselves (voucher is suppose to come with round trip ferry rides) and went to the main office. We were able to redeem it but the lady was very rude and didn't answer any of our questions (where the bus stop is, ferry thickets etc). She also told us she has nothing to do with the company we bought our thickets from and shooed us away.

Advise: if you are traveling during the winter time, try to stand in bus line early (line gets ridiculously long and you are standing in the cold) and sit in the lower part of the bus. Top part is cool for picture taking but very windy and you can't really enjoy the view since you are hiding in your hoodie. Also there are many tree brunches that you encounter that's dangerous.

The Big Bus Hop on tours are the best way to see Hong Kong, I took all the tours. The night tour should use more colorfull sites of the city. If someone wants to see the Victoria Pick the company should propose times because noontime and evening are so full that waiting time for tram are very long and then for the next bus. Other problem is that the bus moves very fast and the drivers should slow or even stop in interesting places, specially on the green line.

Big Bus Hong Kong is a fantastic way to travel around and see the must do tourist attractions on offer. The ticket system for the ferry and entry tickets were well organised and efficient. Would recommend to others .

Excellent service.
Booked tour for two online the night before and tickets etc.available by next morning. Very clear instructions on where to meet.
Spent a very enjoyable day travelling three different routes with good commentary - a half hour sanpan ride, free entry to Peak Tram, free Star ferry rides and a free entry to the Maritime Museum - which we didn't have time to enjoy as we ran out of time. All Big Bus personnel were very knowledgeable, helpful and spoke good English,
Highly recommended

The day tour was enjoyable, however we had a hard time locating the station at hotel peninsula. We also booked for the night tour but we left behind. We were with the last trip of the big bus day tour. I suggest that the night big bus tour should wait for the last trip of the big bus day tours since there are visitors like us who booked for the day and night tour. It was a good thing we met Ms. Lucy Tabdi who gave us instructions on how to get the bus on its next stop. I highly recommend the day big bus tour but not the night big bus tour.

This is recommended to all age groups. OK for sightseeing. You could ride this going to Ocean Park. However it is recommended to purchase the 48hrs if you will go swimming and Ocean Park

we enjoyed our bus tour though we were not able to go down the bus as our time limits us.Hongkong is so big and the tour is only up to 6pm. The only problem we encountered is the location of the bus on east promenade. we got lost along the road. we always get the hop tour coz we see the city on top of the big bus. and if given the time we can go down and hop again.

The tour was excellent, we got free tickets for the the tram to the Peak and then tickets for a free trip in Aberdeen fishing village, that was unexpected. The guide is full of useful information. In order to do all four tours, you have to start early in the morning and go all day to take full advantage of your money. Definetely recommend this tour to everyone visiting Hong Kong.

All city sites covered, great to be able to get on and off. Could possibly start earlier in the day and have better signing to the pick up point in Kowloon.
