    Big Bus no longer exists so I had to pay to go with a different company. I am waiting for my refund.

    We go on all big bus tours when on holiday, but this one went over and above what we had experienced before. We were warmly greeted and given a box containing water and two breakfast cake type snacks which was a really nice touch. Also on the top deck there was a retractable roof which was great as for part of the tour it rained. Really well organised, and all the venues we stopped at were beautiful. I would definitely recommend. Great value for money.

    I have used the Big Bus in many cities around the world and usually find them really good. Despite following the same format: modern bus with air conditioning and multi-lingual commentary, sadly here in Istanbul it is grossly over-priced for the experience. It is far easier and significantly more cost effective using local taxi or Uber to visit. The day I used the Big Bus, it failed to turn-up at one of the stops (I arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled time and waited for 40 minutes afterwards) necessitating me to catch a taxi back to my hotel. When I approached the sales reps the following day, they were far from helpful. They promised a manager would give me a call to explain what happened but no call was received. Do not be fooled by the global brand - stay well clear !

    Horrible service, it's a scam. The bus is dirty and over crowded, after we went down on the 1st stop it never actually came back in any of its stops and we paid 600 liras for a big scam.

    terribe experience, ive been using big bus tours in more than 10 cities , the one in istanbul is by far the the worst. the experience cost me 110$ for two people, the bus was very dirty and old. after the first stop i walked to the next stop and waited there and the bus didnt show up , i even emailed the company and they did nothing, very unpleasant experience. hiring a private car for the whole day is definitely cheaper.

    actally i would like to thank Mr. Omar working in hop on hop off office in Sultan Ahmet area, he is very flexible he helped me for Sapanca tour, Bosphorus cruise dinner tour, he arranged for me the PCR test and the transportation to the Istanbul airport, he is ponctual respecting time ,i told him next time i will arrange with him a plan with transfer before coming to Istanbul, also i would like to thank Mr. Abdallah our guide in Sapanca tour he is vety polite and funny ,

    Terrible!!! 0 historical information on the tour just playing the same song in the background for two hours. Way over priced for what you get. The buses don’t even stop at several stops and run infrequently so I was nervous to get off not knowing when they would come next. The route it self is good but there is no information on the way telling you what you are looking at. Very disappointed as I have does hop on hop off in other cities that were incredible, but this was terrible I do not recommend. I want my money back.

    Don’t even should get one Point. After waiting 20 min at the station the bus didn’t even stop!!! I mean wtf is this?

  • 19-Nov-2021

    For sure doesn't worth. Don't take a ticket for big bus is high price and red line every one hour , blue line every 2 hours , Istanbul has local buses every 10min and the price very cheap take a card and wherever you want

    1. There is no geo-location tracking for the buses 2. I've waited around 1 hour at one of the stops, at the end I ditched it and used the public buses Totally not worth the value, €90 for 2 persons, it can easily be replaced by a taxi or public transports
