we paid for a 2 day event..the first day we were told we will be taken round but would not be allowed to get off at any site...the second day we got off at 4 sires and at Parliament we were not allowed to get in and at the churches only one was accessible...we also got onto one bus which took us to the port at Muscat and had to wait for over an hour for another driver...

Not a lot to see in muscat it took 1 hour 20minutes to do the whole tour and from the top of a bus even less to see . The price is a complete rip off - get a taxi it’s cheaper.

Just like in Abu Dhabi, the service of Big Bus Tours in Muscat has really low quality. The service offers you a good example of the importance of strong competence between different providers in order to improve the quality of the service. In Dubai, the competence with the buses of City Sightseeing obliged the buses of Big Bus Tours to improve the quality of the service, with competitive prices, good infraestructure and continuous support of the personnel. On the contrary, luckly to Big Bus Tours but unfortunately for all of us (customers), the buses of City Sightseeing havn't arrived to Muscat. Therefore, Big Bus supposes that can ignore customers needs and decrease the quality of service without any consequences. The prices (for 24h or 48h) are unbelievebly expensive (more expensive than in Dubai, which has no justification since Muscat has not more atractions than Dubai).  And what is worse, the service hop on hop off depends on in if there is a Cruise in the port of Muscat. If there is no Cruise, Big Bus will offer only Panoramic Tours, without possibility of stopping at any station and impeding you to visit the attractions. But the price of the tour will remain the same! It is an awful service to the customer. I definitively do not recommend Big Bus at Muscat (also not at Abu Dhabi), it is better to find out other tours avaliable at La Vacanza Travel, Getyourguide or other providers.

These hop on hop off buses are always a great way to get my bearings when I visit somewhere new. We visited Muscat as a stop on an MSC cruise and this had more appeal for us than the organised excursions. We actually stayed on the bus for a two hour round trip and didn't feel inclined to explore any further. The commentary was great and there was music that filled in the gaps. We will always try these buses and this is one of the best.

We had a lovely tour of Muscat with Big Bus. It’s a flat city and very spread out, so unless you have your own car (or don’t fancy driving) then this is a great way to see most of the main sights (the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is nearer the airport, so you might have to visit that separately). We found the most useful stops were the one near the National Museum and the Al Alam Palace, and then the one on the Corniche near Muttrah souk. We’ve taken the Big Bus in many other cities (Las Vegas, Shanghai, London, New York amongst others) and always find them an excellent way to get your bearings and see all the main places in one go, before we go back to visit our favourites in more detail. This one was no exception. The only niggle is that perhaps the price is a fair bit more than the equivalent in other cities - but overall, we still enjoyed it very much.
