      Bad traffic makes it less effective
      We like hop on and hop off bus tours as this is the easiest and a very effective way of getting to know a city. The plus was English audio guide - fun and informative. Minus - the bus would get stuck in normal city traffic, with no audio in-between. May be fill up these gaps with some information about the city

      Had a great trip with Big Bus Singapore! Easy viewing of the city on the double decker bus. Upbeat and helpful staff. Introduced some new areas with which I was unfamiliar and was able to later to explore. Five stars!

      Good Tour and informative
      The bus tour starts at SunTec City mall , which is where I would recommend boarding the tour due to high volume of passengers. There are two routes: red and yellow. The red route goes to more older traditional locations whilst the yellow goes round newer locations . Overall we preferred the red route. The commentary is by pre recorded headphones and is quite informative. The buses travel at a reasonable speed allowing you to view the sites easily. We booked the tickets online under big bus Singapore, and suddenly I received an email from a company called Headout and an SMS from a USA number ( also mentioning Headout). I was sceptical that I had been scammed but the tickets were within the mail and when we presented the tickets at the boarding point all was ok. So it does work ok. The red tour was very enjoyable but, for me, the journey through little India was the most memorable part due to the wonderful array of spice smells! We never got off the bus as stops were busy (it was Chinese new year time) and enjoyed seeing the sites.

      Nort as good as in other cities around the world
      Bus crowded and very VERY hard to find first meetup point if coming by city bus and then on foot. I didn't learn much that I didn't already know from the tape. Skipped my second day.

      Too less busses used on the tour
      The Tour itself was okay, but the frequency of busses used was way to low. I did not get a real Hop On-Hop Off, because hopping off was always connected to very long waiting hours.

      Handy way to see key parts of Singapore. The bus was clean, air conditioned and ran frequently. Commentary was provided in various languages and the drivers were friendly. Those was perfect to get around at our own pace

      Informative option to get about.
      It is a good way to see the highlights of the city. The company offers 2 routes around the city, with stops at good locations to see the sites. Options of 1 or 2 days (24 or 48hr periods). I bought a 1 day ticket at 11am; which gave me that afternoon & the following morning to access the bus. There is on-board recorded commentary (multiple languages) via headphones. You have the choice of the air-con downstairs or the open air upstairs (1/2 covered). The stairs are very tight & very steep, so be careful & sure-footed when using them. Tickets can be bought from Big Bus directly or via on-line voucher companies (for a discount).

      OK for a getting a feel for the layout of the centre.
      Ok as a way of getting a feel for the layout of the city and for getting from place to place if it fits with your intended places to visit. Couple of points to note. 1. There is no drainage on the top floor and it had been raining when we took the first bus of the day. As the bus pulled away, a mini tidal wave of water surged down the bus under the seats filling my shoes and soaking my trousers. This continued washing back and forth until most of it found its' way down the stairs. 2. The earphones provided are, as would be expected, not the best quality. If you have some earphones with a 3mm jack plug you'll have a much better chance of hearing the commentary. It's worth noting the underground (MRT) is a cheap and easy way to getting better places once you've purchased the necessary travel card.

      Time for an upgrade
      Big bus delivers a terrific product. It could be so much better with an upgrade to the buses, but more importantly the content. Too much clear air on the guided tour…folks there to listen and learn. More is more. That said, the hop on hop off is fabulous.

      Good way to see the city when new in town.
      Thoroughly enjoyable city tour. The two day pass is good value and the information provided useful. There are two routes both worth taking. Download the App. What they don’t tell you is that it has a bus ‘coming’ tracker. This makes everything much easier to plan also it shows pictures of the exact bus stop. Thanks

      Awesome Night Tour in Singapore with Peter the story teller tour guide!
      Just wanted to share that Peter, the story teller and Daniel Singh the driver were amazing during my night tour. Peter brought the city of Singapore more to life with his personal stories. Daniel was a great driver considering the traffic jams we found! Overall I really appreciated the carefully planned experiences . It was fun and engaging!

    We were expecting to see the Light Show at the Gardens by the Bay, which is the only reason we signed up for this relatively expensive bus ride (138 USD for three adults). The first stop was 20 minutes at the city damn, just to see the cargo ships parked in the Bay. This was very boring. The second stop was a 45 minute pause at a local food court where we separated and ate dinner at our own pace. We could have done this on our own, and not paid a tour company to take us there. The final stop was advertised on TA as the Garden Rhapsody sound and light show. Because it was New Year's Day, the tour company only drove us around to see the city Christmas lights, which none of us really cared about.

    I don't know if the miscommunication was between Big Bus and Trip Advisor, or if Big Bus simply chose to change the tour without notifying TA, but it was a huge disappointment. I chose the bus tour only because one of our party is disabled, and I thought she could see the music and light show without having to walk too far. But next time I will just go straight to Gardens by the Bay, and not book through TA or Big Bus.

    Hi Melissa D, it is disappointing for us to hear that your experience was anything less than great. We wish to share that, due to the Christmas Wonderland event at Gardens by the Bay, access to the Supertrees Grove area is limited to Christmas Wonderland ticket holders. Those without tickets can still observe the show from crowded vantage points. To improve our guests' overall experience, we have replaced the Garden Rhapsody show at Gardens by the Bay with the annual Christmas light-up along Orchard Road. Notifications about these modifications have been disseminated across multiple platforms, including Viator. We value your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your valuable feedback and the time you've taken to share it with us. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Take care. Your Big Bus Singapore Team

    3/5 stars is harsh, but let me explain. The 3 stops you visits are all free! Marina Barrage (the viewing point to get a great view of the city and sea), Lau Pa Sat (the famous food market), and Gardens By The Bay (with their infamous sky trees and light show) are all free attractions to see in Singapore. So, I don’t think the tour was poor, I just think that you can see all of these attractions on your own. Singapore has an awesome MRT (metro/subway/tube) that you can use to get to each stop on this tour. Our tour guide was great and the bus is convenient. Again, by a bus tours standard this was a very good one, I just don’t see the point in paying around £40 for free attractions that would cost you about £3 using public transportation

    Reporting in Singapore for the blog pichonvoyageur.ch, I took the night route of this bus. The experience allows you to discover the city by night and take spectacular photos, including the sound & light of the Bay Gardens. Particularly appreciated: the return of the bus, which offers "personalized" stops at different hotels.

    Terrible misleading information. It's NOT a hop on Hop off bus as advertised . There is only one bus. If you are 1 minute late to redeem your tickets (and it's a maze to find the counter) you miss the tour. No refund. No apolling. Lots of us were stranded having paid 200 dollars and expecting to be able to catch the next bus!

    The tour was an easy way to see a few key landmarks from the comfort of the open air bus. Numbers are limited to ensure everyone gets a seat upstairs and they run a few buses so no one misses out. The food stop whilst rushed is a good introduction to Singapore Hawkers markets. Our guide did a good job of explaining the sites and an informative tour on the way home from the Gardens by the Bay, dropping customers back at locations close to their hotels
