Very important! Find out what kind of tour you are signing up for. There are many reasons why this is important!
I am going to list a few points for you to take in mind.
Route - A big bus is a pain to drive! (I have been a tour guide since I was 19) I can't drive people around all the small and fun places in the city that I know of if I have this big bus to worry about. Reality is, small busses make it very easy to tour around the city. You are able to visit all the little spots in the city, and make all the short sudden stops that allow you to experience a better tour.
Service - being one of 50 tourists can really affect the amount of attention and the overall experience compared to being part of a group of 20. If you want to be a part of a large group, or if you want to enjoy a more individualized experience it is important you take into account the effect the size of the bus has on the service quality.
Comfort/amenities - This is, in my mind, the only advantage a large bus may have over a smaller one. Large busses often have washrooms and a lot of space for luggage and baggage. If the tour you will be taking consists of long runs of road... a larger bus will be more comfortable for you.
Overall... lets face it! Smaller busses are more fun, more practical, and stop at better places. Next time you travel make sure to include a tour and make sure the bus is as small as it can be!
