TL;DR
It depends on the tour operator and group size. Large operators like Sunmar use big buses collecting guests from multiple hotels, while Fun Sun typically uses a separate minibus. Sometimes guests are first picked up in minivans and then transferred to a coach.

Fun Sun tour operator uses a dedicated minibus for transfers — both ways, without picking up guests from other hotels. A good option if you prefer smaller groups.

Sunmar and similar large operators use big coaches that stop at six or seven hotels before departing. Travelers used to small minibuses may be surprised by the scale.

Guests from different parts of Sharm are collected by minivans and then transferred to a comfortable coach with reclining leather seats. If you book a less popular tour (e.g. one including the old museum), the group may be small enough to stay in the minivan the whole time — essentially a private-style tour at a standard price.
