    Good to go and get off

    Like most hop on hop off buses, the experience was positive. It gave a good idea of the key tourist sites that were only accessible through the bus. Relaxing way to get a feel for the city. It doesn't cover all the hot spots but it is a start.

    Response from the operator: Dear johnhunterh2022, Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review! We are glad you enjoyed the relaxing way to explore Singapore and discover its key attractions with Big Bus Singapore. We hope to welcome you aboard again! See you real soon! Your Big Bus Singapore Team

    Highly Recommend

    GREAT WAY TO SEE THE CITY IF YOU HAVE A BIT OF TIME. We were not sure if this was a good use of our time. But we got to see the whole city and it was wonderful.

    A Good Introduction to Singapore

    This is a great introduction to Singapore by travelling around on both routes and listening to the comentary to get an insite into where your would prefer to get off at and explore. The buses only have shelter at the back to keep you from the intense sun, so sometimes it might be better to sit downstairs where it is airconditioned. The only problem I found was that there was a long wait between services due to the large amount of traffic in Singapore making ontime running impossible.

    Response from the operator: Dear dasdad54, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed exploring Singapore on both routes and found the commentary helpful. We apologise for the longer waiting times you experienced. During the F1 preparations, some road closures and increased traffic affected our usual service intervals and journey times. We appreciate your patience and hope to welcome you again on a smoother journey. Your Big Bus Singapore Team

    HORRIBLE tour, do not book!

    HORRIBLE TOUR! Bus was 20mins late, we waited at our stop #13 was not informed we needed to be at stop #1...the tour's beginning stop. Was the bus driver suppose to be the tour guide as well? He did not provide any information about what we were seeing, only announced the stops. We had to figure out from the map what we were looking at. We were not offered ear phones. Another tourist said they didn't work anyway. If you wanted to get off at a stop, the bus driver only stopped for 2 seconds and would leave immediately. You needed to already be at the door, waiting to jump off. He gave you NO time to get to the door from the upper deck. He seem rushed, lazy, careless. THIS WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND MY MONEY! I still don't know what we saw.

    Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.

    How much does Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $54 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.

    Is Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 898 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour?

    +

    Around 314 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Singapore?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Singapore?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Singapore?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Big Bus Singapore Hop-On Hop-Off Tour?
