Fantastic way to see LA! Highly recommend! - We had a great time on the Big Bus touring around LA. Great way to see the city. Only problem was someone hit the drivers side mirror and broke it off, ending our tour early. By the time another bus came to pick us up it was too late to make our last stops. ☹️

Good enough, but won’t purchase in the future. - Booked the bus tickets after reading about a variety of companies doing a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour. The choice of routes was our deciding factor. Enjoyed: the commentary and facts by the recorded audio guide were interesting. The routes were also interesting and showed a good variety of famous LA hotspots. Disappointed: the kids we were travelling with (14, 10 & 7) didn’t care about the guide. They ended up sleeping on the bus or entertaining themselves on electronics. The schedule was always late, but understandably, traffic can’t be controlled. Back to the commentary; the second day we heard a number of different recordings than the first day of the pass, which made me wonder if the driver the first day was rushing Hated: the app. Advertised as a way to monitor the buses, I would constantly get “unable to obtain live bus updates” and be guessing based on the printed schedule (which again, was always late). This made planning when to get back to the stops so difficult and rushed at times.

Could be better - If you went to the beach you did not get enough time in the city on a one day pass and most stops were not well signed Red and blue lines did not co-ordinate
