Absolutely worth it! - Budapest is an amazing city and the Big Bus is a great way to get an overview. I loved that the English recording was of a Hungarian woman speaking English, rather than a British person - it really added to the experience. There was also someone on the bus (beside the driver) to check tickets and give information on stops. The included boat ride was fabulous, I never got to have my free goulash, and the guide for our free tour (Sophie) was amazing! Things up, Budapest!!

Great way to see the city - The Big Bus is a great way to get an overview of a city if you are visiting for the first time. We did find the accent of the English speaker a little hard to understand at times.

Ok service - When I purchase the Hop on Hop off it said to redeem the voucher at one of 3 locations. It was not necessary. I could have started at a stop near my hotel. For the Danube River Tour, the Hop on Hop off stands were not very helpful. They only point you to go without explicit directions. I had to ask another River ticket agency for the location. There were no voice recording explaining the sites on the upper deck either. The

Unfortunately it was... - Unfortunately it was raining and the open top buses had plastic sheets for windows and the downstairs windows had film over them so you couldn’t really see much. The tour would have been better depending on the weather,

Typical tour - Typical hop on hop off. You never know what side of the bus the guide is referring to when describing the location.

Budapest Hop-on-hop off experience - We gave done several trips abroad and always enjoy the Hop-Hop-Off activities. However in Budapest, we had an unpleasant experience. The audio and the narration did not always correlate w/the actual landmark in front of us. Further, the tour did not disclose on its website that the night cruise required an additional fee and lastly the “guide “ from the walking left without us…. Very disappointed.

A useful way to get around but the audio guide is not very good. - A fairly good way to get around and have used the same thing in London, New York, Barcelona. This was the worst by a long shot. Various stops of over 10 minutes with no explanation. An overly long monologue via the headphones about how the artists like to eat ham, ham and cheese, chees and ham or just cheese sandwiches. Long after we have passed the building related to the story. In the meantime no explanation of numerous giant monuments passing us by. Stopped for over ten minutes nest to a giant square with a giant statue and massive impressive buildings and not mention on the audio guide as to what it was. Really bad. I still think it is a good way to kinda have a way to get around if fed up walking but the audio guide is pretty bad tbh.

Worst bus tour service in Europe - Not worth buying a ticket. The bus routes are extremely rare. Although it is advertised that the frequency is every 10-20 minutes, this is absolutely inaccurate. We had to wait over 45 minutes at every stop for the next bus. Also, there are not clear signs at the bus stops. Overall, I would not recommend it.

Waste of money - Terrible. A complete waste of money. We paid approx. 40€ each. You could not see anything through the plastic roof, bad audio in the headphones as well as you would have to pay extra for the bus up to the castle, even though it said it was included in the ticket.

Don’t go on a rainy day - It was a rainy day so the buses had to put the tops on so you couldn’t see much as the windows were all fogged up. Additionally the audio in the bus was terrible so you couldn’t understand much when stop numbers were provided.
