Hop on Hop off Muscat

Muscat bus experience was very good. As we didn’t travel on a cruise ship day the route didn’t have many stops and was more a panoramic tour. A little expensive but worth the cost

Way overpriced

I never right reviews but I honestly felt scammed by this tour. It is very very over priced for the service given. The buses were not consistent and we were waiting for nearly an hour for a bus twice. Which made us reluctant to hop off anywhere else. Which is the whole point of taking the bus! There were only two buses running the circuit all day. My advise just get a taxi to where you want to go they are reasonably priced. The tour audio itself was also bad. I actually laughed when driving down a road full of car showrooms the audio told us this is where people buy their cars! Don't waste your money find any alternative.

Not worth it at all! Big disappointment!

We were more than disappointed with the bus tour given the much too high price. The church was closed, the temple consisted of only one room, the business district was not worth seeing, there the bus failed, the parliament is not allowed to enter, a stop was symbolic without stops, the view of the port is ticked off after three minutes, you actually do not need to get off. In hindsight, we should have taken a private taxi, although everyone advised us not to.

Complete waste of money!

After paying we were told that there’s only 1 bus with 5 mins photo stops. Lasted 2 hours in total and it was really not worth it!

Very disappointing at a costly price

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...
