Traveler Tips


Also, they need to extend the hours, they only give you 6 hours and in reality you can not get off too many places and get back to your original location in that amount of time.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city for the first time.

We’ve used The Big Red...
Mark_K, Oct 2023
We’ve used The Big Red Bus in a number of different cities and thought this was the same company but we were sadly mistaken. The first bus we got on the driver went right by the designated stop we wanted to get out at. Not knowing the area we didn’t realize it until she was at the next stop. So, we got out and hoofed it back to where we wanted to be. The second bus we got on was leaking from the rain - it came down from the upstairs like a waterfall and came in the doors and windows. I think they are lucky no one slipped and fell. The area the bus covered was actually pretty walkable so it didn’t add a lot of value. I would not use CitySightseeing again.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback on our tour. We are deeply sorry to hear that this was your experience. In these cases, we recommend that you check the timetable on our website, which details the stops, frequency and duration of the tour.

Great way to see Seattle
Kevin_S, Sep 2023
We were only in Seattle for a couple of days so this was the perfect way to see the location. Our tour included the Grey line tour to the outer city limits which was especially interesting and gave us a much wider understanding of Seattle.
Schedule
Harold_Z, Aug 2023
Sorry but we got frustrated with this tours. It seems not to be clear enough for the customer that your schedule is 10AM-5PM and not 24 hours as announced in your website.. at the end we payed for a tour that we never used.....
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Customer, The 24h is the validity of the ticket, i.e., you can use it within 24h from the time you validate it. For example, if you buy it at 11am it is valid until 11am the next day. This information is detailed in our website Despite this, we are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Kind regards, Customer support agent

Dissatisfied, Misrepresented.
Richard_C, Aug 2023
Your we site said our $39 purchase was for a day tour. We booked and paid for it, only to find out it was a NIGHT tour which we could not attend. The Consierge at the hotel had also checked the website for Hop-on-Hop~off and agreed it was erroneously advertised. When we contacted you before the tour as soon as we found out, you refused to credit our account. (I would like to point out we used your services all over Paris last year). Credit us, or lose a customer. Richard Clements

Not Happy
Melinda_P, Aug 2023
Waited at 1 stop for over 30 minutes...Gave up n walked to Pikes Market... Then, waited again for 20 minutes- different stop... finally walked down street... turned corner n saw bus. Ran to get on bus only to be told it was full. Some nice people moved to allow 3 of us to get on. Then... bus ride "ok"... but, thought it was ridiculous the wait times we had for a Hop off-Hop on bus...leary of typing again!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Customer, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us, it means a lot to us. We recommend downloading the City Sightseeing app where you can find every stop's location (linked to google maps), the situation of the buses in real time and much more... to avoid long waits. Once again, we thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Customer support agent
Good overview
Kelly_C, Aug 2023
A nice overall view of the downtown area with narration and a friendly driver. The bus needs to be cleaned, but otherwise comfortable.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Jason_S, Aug 2023
This tour was absolutely terrible! This tour was simply a bus driver, who didn’t know where he was going punching a pre-recorded message when he got in the area of the designated stops. There was no personalized knowledge or interaction from the bus driver. When we got on the bus on July 29, 2023 in Seattle, we heard the bus driver tell somebody else on the bus that there was a big parade in Seattle that day, and he would not be able to drop off or guarantee pick up at several of the stops because of the streets being closed due to the parade. Since we were already on the bus And it was too late to get a refund because of their 24 hour refund policy, we decided to go ahead and see as much as we could anyway. Halfway through the tour, the bus driver drove the wrong way down a one-way street and got our bus stuck for an extended period of time Until his supervisor and a half a dozen city traffic cops arrived on the scene to block traffic in all directions so they could finally get us out of the wrong way street. We were so disgusted, We got off the tour bus as quickly as possible and took a $50 Uber ride back to our hotel. Don’t ever take this tour!!!!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear customer, First of all, we want to thank you for your opinion. We are sorry that this was your perception of the tour. This bus has an audio guide only, as detailed on our website. We apologize for any inconvenience that traffic or local problems may have caused you. Once again, we apologize for any resulting issues you may have experienced. Kind regardsm, Customer support agent.
Nice tour through Seattle
Lynne_R, Aug 2023
It was a beautiful sunny day, so it was very pleasant to sit on the top of the bus and go through Seattle. However, because there was a parade for Seafair, many roads were blocked and it was a very slow trip. Thankfully we did not have any deadlines.

Disappointed with the scenic Seattle tour.
Amin_K, Jul 2023
The scenic Seattle tour was a disappointment. Spent so much money on this tour but was not worth the money. First the mic/speaker PA system was not working, the guest sitting at the back of the van could not hear anything. The van was very old & noisy, making so much load noise. Lastly the driver was an older guy, tired and frustrated because the PA system was not working. It would have been better if we would have just taken the Hop on Hop off tour, would have saved lots of money.

Good but could include more stops
Vishwanath_C, Jul 2023
The tour was good as far as it went. We would have liked a visit to the locks but it was not on their itinerary. We didn’t feel like we were on the buses much at all. Most of the stops are close to each other. Still, we had an extra longish wait at one of the stops. The buses were comfortable, the ride also. The narration was interesting and informative as well. The volume could have been lowered a little.
