We are 3 people from the UK. We have done a bus tour in San Francisco and a trolley bus tour in San Diego as well as boat tours in San Diego and New York, so we were excited at the prospect of a bus tour in Hollywood, having had previous great experiences. It was difficult to hear the narration, and on one bus quite impossible. When we could hear it, it was out of sync with the journey. We were really disappointed. On the plus side the bus came when expected, and the drivers were good. But that wasn’t enough to increase the whole experience.

We are so sorry to hear you had a hard time hearing the commentary, and when you could it was out of sync. It would be great if you could reach out to me directly at [email protected] so I can find out if it was an issue with the complimentary headphones or the system itself. I would also love the opportunity to make your negative experience better. Hope to hear from you soon.

We arranged a private tour through Jennifer Grubbs of the LA office and she could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The details were clearly laid out, her responses were quick and helpful, and Jennifer made several suggestions and inquiries that were most beneficial to our tour. We were then assigned Craig as a driver/ guide and he was the best. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable, Craig made the tour itself a really pleasant and memorable experience. I could not be happier with our Big Bus experience and since this trip will be a recurring experience with our company, I very much look forward to working with Big Bus again. Thank you Jennifer & Craig!

Reading other reviews this company clearly has a problem with its staff. We bought a 2 day ticket planned our day and route and waited for our bus which did arrive at the stop we were waiting at the time we thought it would however when we boarded the bus we were told our ticket was not for the big bus even though it said big bus tours on it. We were told to get off the bus and wait for the star line bus even though I did try to explain to the driver we did not book a star line tour. She was insistent we were on the wrong bus so we got off and waited for the next star line only to be told by that bus driver we were on the wrong bus and we needed the big bus tour!!! We were treated really badly and had to walk back to our hotel to try and contact big bus. We had a long wait for online chat which appears to be the only way to get through to customer services only to be told we had to contact get my guide who we booked with, get my guide told us we had to contact the big his company!!! Not what you want whilst you are on holiday. Had to get Ubers to visit what we wanted to see and we still don’t know if we are going to get a refund for the tickets we did not get to use, I can’t recommend this tour as I never got to go on it I can however recommend to the big bus company that they sort their staffing issues out maybe some training would be good idea. This negative review was completely avoidable I cannot understand why the driver would not accept our ticket but she did ruin our day.
