“This is a great idea for someone who has a couple days in D.C. I always like using the hop on-hop off bus to get my bearings in a new city. You can make notes on your map of the things the stops are close to. I had the 2 day ticket and it was perfect to see a lot of the key places in Washington, D.C.”

“The Big Bus Budapest APP and WEBSITE are excellent sources of maps and valuable information on history, sites, and landmarks. The customer service team was very helpful and accommodating, and they responded promptly to my emails. Great communication! Set your expectations low for the actual BIG BUS TOUR experience. • The buses were usually full, the seats uncomfortable, and the riders were so playful, loud, and inconsiderate that it seemed pointless to listen to the narration. • In the seven buses I rode, the recorded NARRATION cut in and out.

Seville: Panoramic Cruise, Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus & Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 147 reviews · 1 day · from $45

Spend a full day seeing Seville from three angles: an audio-guided hop-on bus, a one-hour Guadalquivir cruise, and walking tours in Triana, Santa Cruz, Maria Luisa Park, and Plaza España. English and Spanish guides lead the walks, including Belén on some departures.

“The cruise was lovely, nice to see the sights from the water, it gives a very different perspective to the city. Unfortunately we were not able to hear the commentary partly due to the quality and positing of the speakers, unfortunately these were drowned out by the loud and inconsiderate people behind us. Perhaps a phone based audio guide would be a good idea (along side the existing guide for those who don’t have smart phones.”
