Big Bus Tours Muscat Reviews 

There was no sign for the Big Bus at the port in front of the ship.
10 minutes walk to the Mutrah Souq, first bus coming was full, because
of two ships and to many People. Discussion with the guides, waiting for
nearly 40 minutes for the next bus. But then good explantions, good driving and getting out at the beach, hop-off at Shati Al Qurum and other stations.
No Problems with further buses, they were coming regulary.
At all stops the guides/Hostess friendly, helpful and proffessional.

lovely tour of lovely city

Tickets online buchen und sparen. Big Bus Tour ist die beste und günstigste Gelegenheit die Stadt kennen zu lernen. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen.

Nice staff. Free water offered is great.
In Dubai we had a havy trafic jam and couldn t follow the previewed route.
An Information in this Situation is needed.

The route & stops should be listed online, but are not. I emailed & was told 3 stops, none of which were actual stops. Once we got the bus & took the tour it was great & we learned a lot about our new home. It was great for our visitors & kids.

Using the Big Bus was an easy way to see Muscat. The drivers and staff were very friendly. Using the onboard headphones enabled the listener to learn many interesting facts about the city. I would use Big Bus again.

This is a must-do in Oman. It's a great way to see the city, with an interesting commentary. The view from the top is awesome. It's also nice that you get a map and free water.

The drivers were very nice and helpful, even offering me a little extra time. When you book, make sure you realize that it doesn't cost much more for two days than one. I made the mistake of not even looking at the price for two days. The reason this is helpful is because you will probably want to go back and explore some of the places you see, and taxis are expensive. Even if you had only one place you wanted to return to, it would still be cheaper to have two days on the bus, rather than one day and take a return taxi.

Thanks for this great experience! The Tour was great, the besteht is to book the triple ticket with Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Thanks for this great Combo!

An excellent experience visiting many of the old historical places around Muscat. We took a second tour around without stopping just for photographs we missed the first time. A first class tour.

Found the tour very informative, the commentary was excellent although the sound system on one of the buses could have been better. The staff was helpful and we would definitely recommend the tour to anybody. Liked the fact that free water was available on every bus.

Reyma, our BigBus organizer was simple great, helpful, inderstanding and flexible. Thank you for that. We can only recommend BigBus to everyone,although the audio guide was not 100% up to date.

1. First & foremost, we had booked the tour directly, online, & were actually cruising by the Royal Carribean to Muscat. So on the day of travel, the passengers who had bought the tour in the ship got the 1st preference to board, which was absolutely fine. We got in last and yet, we were almost thrown out of the bus very rudely by one Ms Laura, saying they were awaiting more passengers from the cruise and hence we will have to wait until the last ones came in. Well maybe she was right, but could have been told to us in a slightly better tone and language..we felt really insulted and like we were travelling free...

2. Unlike all the other big bus tours, the one in Muscat comes after more than 30-35 mins..in one case, we got off at the Al Alam Palace, took quick pictures from the entrance itself, and then had to wait almost 45 mins to get the next bus

3. The bus in Muscat does not stop near the landmarks..for eg. the Royal Opera House is a good 15-20 mins walk from the Hay As Saruj stop of the big bus and there are no sign boards anywhere as to where to go if one wished to tour the Royal Opera House

4. At the Marina Views, don't you think it is just a photo stop, if the bus asks all to get off and take a picture and get back in 5 mins, it will save a good 45 mins for all passengers, your buses in Canada do that at so many stops..where the driver takes a quick break as well

All in all Muscat was a bad experience...however, we had a combo ticket of Muscat / Dubai...Dubai was a fantastic experience with Big bus

Hallo
Kein Zurückkommen von Tour mit BigBus direkt möglich, obwohl Route eng am Hafen vorbei zum WTC führt. Von dort nur fremde Shuttles im Stundentakt.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Eine interessante Tour, wenn man einen Tag für Muscat Zeit hat und sich einen Überblick verschaffen möchte

A very good introduction to Muscat. We did a complete circuit without stopping, then a second circuit stopping at points of interest to us.

It was one of the best tours that we've had. The story was good, the staff was professional and really friendly. At the end, they have even let us get off between stations to be able to catch a bus for the airport.
Totally recommend it!

Nice city, I like it! The Big Bus staff were friendly, the drivers drove very carefully, the buses were comfortable as they usually are, and the live commentary helped me understanding interesting facts of the local culture.

We have enjoyed the trip very much; although it would've been better if more sights in Muscat was part of the tour. The staff were very friendly and surprisingly bilingual. Should new routes be introduced, we'd definitely take the tour again.

Great stuff, excellent staff, clean bus, helpful commentary.
Special boquets to the staff at the stop near the Opera House. It was the closest to our hotel, so they were the first Bus staff we met. Great on-booking service to other adventures too - they organised an excellent dolphin/snorkelling cruise including hotel pickup/return over the mobi at the bus stop - well done!
