Big Bus Tours was created with one clear purpose. Make city exploration simple, flexible, and unforgettable. Every year, millions of travellers step onto our open-top buses to experience the world’s most exciting destinations from a new perspective. We believe sightseeing should feel effortless, enjoyable, and inspiring from the very first stop.
Our Story
What began as a straightforward sightseeing idea has grown into a global presence across major cities. We recognised that travellers wanted more than transport. They wanted freedom, comfort, and a clear way to see the highlights without complicated planning. That vision shaped our hop-on hop-off model.
Over time, we expanded into some of the world’s most visited destinations, refining our routes and services to match the unique character of each city. Today, we continue to improve our experience while staying focused on what matters most. Helping people explore with confidence.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple. Deliver the number one sightseeing experience in every major city we serve. We aim to combine convenience with discovery. From our open-top bus tours to curated attractions and experiences, we focus on making travel accessible for everyone.
We understand that time is valuable. Whether someone has one day or a full weekend, our goal is to help them see more without stress. We design routes that connect iconic landmarks, cultural districts, and historic neighbourhoods in a way that feels natural and easy to follow.
What Makes Us Different
We are not just a transport service. We are a sightseeing experience. Our double-decker buses provide panoramic views that standard transport simply cannot offer. The elevated seating allows travellers to appreciate architecture, city skylines, and famous landmarks clearly.
Multilingual audio commentary adds depth to every journey. Instead of passing attractions without context, travellers gain insights into history, culture, and local stories. In selected cities, live guides bring energy and personality to the ride, creating a more engaging atmosphere.
Flexibility is at the heart of what we do. Our hop-on hop-off system gives travellers control. They decide where to stop, how long to stay, and when to continue. There is no rigid schedule, only freedom within a structured route.
Commitment to Quality
We focus on safety, reliability, and customer service. Our teams work hard to ensure buses operate smoothly and stops are easy to locate. We continuously evaluate feedback to improve routes, timing, and onboard services.
Sustainability is also part of our long-term approach. As cities evolve, we explore ways to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality of the sightseeing experience. Responsible tourism is important to us and to the destinations we serve.
Looking Ahead
As global travel continues to grow, so does our ambition. We aim to expand our experiences, introduce new destinations, and enhance our technology to make booking and exploring even easier.
At our core, we believe travel should spark curiosity and create lasting memories. Every route, every stop, and every tour is designed with that belief in mind. When travellers choose Big Bus Tours, they are not just booking a ride. They are choosing a smarter, more relaxed way to discover the world’s greatest cities.
