When we purchased the tickets, the lady who helped us was super nice and helpful. The first bus we were on was relatively clean and the driver was nice. After that, every bus we were on seemed dirty and run down. The drivers were not very pleasant. One bus that we seemed to keep getting on had a huge window out when it was cold and raining. When we asked the driver, he said "There's nothing wrong with this bus!" I would not recommend this. I would not recommend BigBus tours. Next time we will use DC Circulator.

Better than walking but plan for a lot of downtime in between stops. There aren’t enough busses running so you’ll likely wait 15-30 minutes for a bus after you’ve hopped off and visited the sights. We ended up walking in between some of the stops bc the app showed there were no busses anywhere close. The tour part is clunky. They give you earbuds to plug into the bus and listen while you ride. The interior of the bus is hot and stuffy.

Good option in nice weather to see the sites from an open top bus. Buses were clean and there were multiple languages (English, Spanish, French, German and a few more) for the automated audio commentary. The commentary was helpful and updated, but personally, I remember the days of a “real” tour guide inter-acting with me and the group to respond to questions and interests. The buses were on a fairly regular 30 minute schedule, until the inevitable police activity or road block slowed down a bus. So the reason that I only gave 4 stars is that the Big Bus App did not give real time alerts on the buses - something which at this point should be pretty basic on any tour bus. Also, getting back on a bus can be a challenge by mid-afternoon when the buses coming through are already full. so we sat in the “below seats.” They were also fine and clean, but the air circulation was awful on the bottom level. Big Bus needs to do better to either allow windows to be opened or the vents to work.
