ABYSMAL SERVICE-DO NOT USE
Absolute abysmal service received. I booked 2 tickets for this tour on the morning I wanted to use the tickets. There was nothing on the website to suggest that the service was not running on that day. After waiting over 1.5hrs for a bus at Icon Siam we managed to get information from the tourist desk that all services had been suspended for that day (Saturday 26th September) and the following day. When I asked for a refund I was told that I had not given 24hrs notice so was not eligible for one - despite the company taking my booking on the morning that I stipulated I wanted the tour! I have contacted the company on 3 occasions since to give them the opportunity to rectify the issue but they have refuse to engage in any correspondence, hence now calling them out publicly DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- THEY DO NOT OFFER A GOOD SERVICE

Bus service cancelled
The buses in Bangkok were cancelled on 26 and 27th so I am awaiting a refund. I am wondering why is TripAdvisor selling ticket to days where busses are cancelled due to flooding in Bangkok.

Hire a Grab for 2 hours for a fraction of the cost - stuck in traffic all day!

Lack of information when you are driving around.
The traffic in Bangkok in it self makes trips like this poor experience. In addition there could, and should, have been so much more info given when we drive around and are stuck in traffic!! The lack of information about Bangkok and its history makes those trip a big disappointment….
Response from the operator: We’re truly sorry your journey was delayed. Bangkok traffic can be very unpredictable, and we understand how frustrating it is when plans are affected. We depart from the first stop on time as per the timetable and monitor road conditions along the route to keep things moving safely, and we try to keep departure times as in the timetable. Thank you for your feedback. It helps us serve future guests better, and we hope to welcome you back for a smoother, friendlier hop-on hop-off experience in Bangkok.

Pretty okay experience but definitely NOT worth the admission fee
Currently they are offering a promotion of ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Day Free’ which essentially THB800 for two days’ worth of sightseeing. I guess this could have tilted the ratings a little more in their favour, however, we only had one day so this was not taken up at all. The offer was THB800 per pax for unlimited hop-ons to their double-decker bus, which stops at 16 different sites around metropolitan Bangkok. That works out to approximately THB5 per site which sounds very reasonable; however, there are only a very limited number of buses available, so once you’ve gotten off at a site (say #2), you have to wait roughly 40-45 minutes for the next ride. Altogether I think there was around 6-8 trips per day, so it’s impossible to see all the sites (notwithstanding the second day mentioned in first paragraph). If you have a lot of time to kill and not much to do, I guess this is an okay offer. However, if you — like us — didn’t take the first or second bus trip out, chances are the THB800 will be much better spent on the BTS or a taxi. Several times over.
Response from the operator: We apologize if you had an unpleasant experience. However, we thank you for choosing our services for your trip to Bangkok. We will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $24 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours 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 Bangkok is not rushed.
Is The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 279 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus 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 The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Around 98 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 Bangkok 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 Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus 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 Bangkok 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 Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. 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 Bangkok?
+
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 Bangkok?
+
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 The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Included: Tour map/guidebook; In-vehicle air conditioning; and GPS access to bus locations. Not included: On-board restrooms; Breakfast; Lunch; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Korean, Thai, Chinese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The Best Bangkok Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
