Our guide, Ali, was friendly, accommodating and always checked to make sure we were happy or wanted to see anything else. Would highly recommend!”

“I really enjoyed the tour of Muscat. First of all our group was small, which was a big plus, but more importantly our guide Mohammed A. was really knowledgeable and shared with us many facts about Oman, Omani and Muscat. It was a wonderful day spent by impressive landmarks. The Sultan Qaboos Mosque, Opera house as well as the National Museum of Oman were really interesting to visit. Spending time at the souq was also enjoyable. My thanks go to our wonderful guide, who provided us with such a high level of knowledge, information and insight into Omani culture. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“The driver picked me up at the precise time they would pick up, the van had built in recording as you pass along to explain what you are seeing in various languages, so it was useful. The tour was a little tight in that you only have limited time to look around at specific points, so I felt in some spots, the time was very limited. Overall, I would recommend it.”
