We visited Los Angeles last week as part of a multi centre tour and decided to use the Big Bus open top sightseeing tour as our way to see the city. We've used Big Bus on a number of occasions at other cities around the world and thoroughly enjoyed the recorded narrative and live guides. However, whilst we enjoyed this city tour the staff giving the live narrative need to provide more information about the sights and give less information about themselves. They also need to buy a new joke book as their humour is frankly 3rd rate. One of the guides spent more time flirting with some young girls on our bus. I feel that the frequency of the buses could have been improved upon as there’s quite a bit of hanging around waiting on the next bus when on a tight schedule.

On April 26th 2019 me and a friend decided to take the tour instead of rent a car. Pros: Routes covers a lot. BUT BELIEVE ME YOU CAN DO THE SAME ON A GREAT PRICE WITH LYFT/UBER AND YOUR FEET. With waaayyyyyy less stress! Cons: The majority of the tour guides are horrible. I spent the whole day hoping on and off buses and I can honestly say I had been in only ONE bus with a great tour guide and even greater driver. They leave a tip jar at the door of the bus because they are sooooo awesome that they know everybody will tip them. The rest of the tour guides are horrible. They don’t give us details and history about nothing they just keep joking around so the fine past. The last bus of the day, the one I took this picture of, the tour guide was flirting with someone upstairs the whole time while we were riding downstairs. We rode through Santa Monica and Venice without ANY comments. She only spoke on the stops to let us know which stop was that. The rest of the time she was flirting and we were listening to her flirting. When we arrived at the last stop before the bus goes back to Beverly Hills where it starts to the driver Goes home I tried to get off the bus. He stopped for 3 seconds, like when we stop at a stop sign and there is no cars coming, you know?! I was getting up to leave the bus with my friend and he took off driving. I said hey! He already had left the stop and started to YELLED at me in front of everybody saying “I STOPPED I STOPPED!!”. Naturally I said that I was getting up the chair he should look back to see that people were getting up to leave his bus. And he YELLED AGAIN “YOU SHOULD HAD SAID SOMETHING!”. So he had to yell because he didn’t want to wait people hoping off his bus at the end of his shift. He was driving like crazy and speeding through stops just to get to go home. GUYS BELIEVE ME YOU ARE BETTER OF WITH UBER OR LIFT. Unless of course you guys spend the whole day waiting for that ONE BUS with the one driver and tour guide that was spectacular. I wish I could post the picture of the bus driver that yelled at me here as well. I did another review on trip advisor. Because honestly we didn’t pay to be treated like that. I was very embarrassed with him yelling at me in front of the entire bus. Everybody had a shocked face! And after that I’ll never use big bus again in any part of the world. And believe me I had great experiences in Paris, Italy and other places. Since I am a flight attendant I also will make sure to tell any passanger who asks me for tips. DO NEVER USE BIG BUS! There is others hop on hop off options out there. They hire horrible people to make your whole experience bad!

We had just one day and Big Bus was the perfect way to enjoy the city. The guides were very informative and kept the humour going along to break the monotony. I wish they had bus service beyond 5 PM as we wanted to stop at couple of points but since it was the last bus, we had to skip it. Another area of improvement is live tracking which is non existent.
