From their website:


To make hop on, hop off sightseeing is the number one thing to do on your city break. To offer a day or two (or three) of memorable, cultured, and even educational fun. To help you tick off the best bits our world-famous cities have to offer, and then some. We want you to hop on and discover your destination from our open-top buses, with commentary guiding you along the way, then hop off to explore even further. And we think we’re winning…

Because size matters Big Bus Tours is the largest operator of open-top sightseeing bus tours in the whole wide world. Inspiring the spirit of adventure in over 25 cities, across four continents. Beginning with a fleet of three, today hundreds of buses and guides are helping over four million tourists explore each year. And we're not slowing down anytime soon. Sign up for our newsletter and we'll let you know when we add another fun-filled city to our portfolio.

The History

Introducing Big Bus Tours. A family-run company, siblings Richard, Eleanor and Desmond Maybury thought they would try their hand at guided city tours. They had the philosophy to 'think global and act local', a focus that still drives us to this day (excuse the pun).

Today, Big Bus Tours is owned by private equity partnership Exponent LLC after a welcomed sale in 2015.
