Big Bus Tours Muscat Reviews 259

The big bus part of things is fine, good commentary, regular service etc.etc.
Its the tour that is the thing. There is not a great deal to see in Muscat, Apart from the old town souk the attractions around the stops are a bit second rate in comparison to say Dubai.
The opening hours of such attractions as there are, Mosque, Armed forces museum,opera house etc. are fine for the staff but not for visitors. overall verdict on Oman, a great place to visit once.

It was great, I think you only need 1 day and then you can use taxis to go to your favorite paces if needed other days. I will say one of the drivers was pretty aggressive in hitting on the female passengers which is the only reason this isn't 5 stars for me.

Big Bus is a good way to see many places in Muscat since the area is too lengthy to walk everywhere. Trying to purchase a ticket at the bus was difficult since sometimes there was an agent at the site and other times no one except the driver. Not everyone can book online, so that meant riding past a stop until there was an agent who could accept money. My biggest confusion and longest delays were sorting out which bus at the Mutrah Suq was the "regular" bus vs the "going back to the ship" bus! Also at the Mutrah Suq bus parking seems to be a problem if the Big Bus needs to wait. There needs to be a couple of stops one for "off" and one for "on" and also have a sign on the front of a bus if its "route" that day is to the ship.

A great way to do an overview of Muscat!

I had 1 day in Muscat and wanted to maximize my time. The Big Bus Tour provided a great overview of the city's highlights. The 30 minute frequency gave enough time for me to enjoy stops I wanted to explore. The audio commentary was also helpful. Would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed the Bis Bus tour in Muscat.
The tour is complete and well explained. It touches all the important sites of Muscat. I think the frequency of buses should be improved since 30 minutes is too much especially in case of traffic (I had to wait one hour). There was no wifi on the bus on the contrary of big bus tours in other cities.
Anyway, in summary I strongly recommend this tour! The easiest and more comfortable way for visiting Muscat.

Buses not turning Up Waited over an hour for overdue bus

If you want to see all of London's most popular sights, choose this tour.

We were a bit worried initially as the first bus driver was unresponsive and distant however to our delight the remaining drivers were excellant. One even stopped and let us get out and waited for us to take pics. I found the trip very informative and learnt things I did not know even though I frequently am in Oman.Thanks BigBus..great experience and highly recommend. Cheers from Australia :)

There's actually nothing that you could have done better, staff, tour, guides and help on the way was excellent.

Quite expensive for 4 adults and 2 kids, but when you consider it let us see nearly all the sights on the way to the tower of London, and included a ferry ride back up river, it was worth it. Good commentary, interesting route, clean etc. Great.

The bus tour was good and informative, however there was no guide, noone came near us to check our tickets or anything, I was told my ticket would be scanned but I never met or seen a guide, We could of jumped on for free! Other than that it was an enjoyable day out.

We found all the drivers to be very friendly and helpful. Interesting narration as well very informative. Only gripe would be the length of time we had to wait for buses some times 15 to 20 mins don't know if this was the time of year it being January they may be more frequent in the summer months. But would use them again as they give you a good idea were things are.

Booking via internet in short delay was very easy. Good comments during the tour by headphones in various languages. Tour plan available in the buses. Kind service. Boat tour on the Thames was good as well.

A great experience with Big Bus Tours! I liked the whole tour of London and the fact that I could hop off and on at different spots throughout the tour. The "live" guide was excellent and funny as well! She was knowledgeable and explained everything as we were going around.

I also liked the fact that I could use my ticket an extra day. This gave me more time to explore London. In addition, I enjoyed the cruise on the river
even though it was raining.

We have only one day in London, so Big Bus helped us so much and we could see many interesiting places in the city. We had free river cruise from Big Ben to Tower of London. So, thank you!

It was a nice tour, good information.

Excellent tour. Friendly, helpful funny tour guides. Great value for money with the 2nd day free. Highly recommended.

Prior to boarding, I paid for two tickets to a sight at one of the stops. That sight was closed for the entire month.

Such a fantastic experience. We would never have seen as much of London by any other means. Brilliant value getting 48hrs for the price of 24 AND a river cruise as well. Brilliantly knowledgeable staff made it fun. Would undoubtedly recommend to everyone.A massive thanks.
