Not just a guide, but a true friend and connoisseur of Oman!

5.00I want to express my great gratitude to our guide Issam for his incredibly busy and comfortable trip to Oman! This was not a standard “tick box” tour, but a deep and soulful immersion in the culture of the country. He shared Omani stories, legends and modern life with great affection. Issam speaks excellent Russian, which was a huge plus. The communication was easy and relaxed. He helped us rent a nice car at a very attractive price, also provided for rent a cozy apartment in the central part of the city, on the first coastline. Any housework issue was solved instantly. It felt like we weren't just clients, but welcome. The very fact that we already knew the guide and gladly took his place speaks volumes. It saved us from unnecessary searches and risks. Issam is the man who makes a trip to Oman an unforgettable adventure. He combines the qualities of a brilliant guide, a responsible landlord and a sympathetic person. If you want to see the real Oman without hassle and with maximum comfort, turn to it.
Authentic Oman with a special guide

5.00There are trips that will remain forever in the best memories and our trip to Oman is undoubtedly one of them, and the credit is largely due to Issam. We spent four wonderful days, during which Issam was not only a guide, but a traveling companion, a storyteller, an authentic bridge between us and his land. He is a person of great intelligence and culture, he speaks 12 languages and an impeccable Italian, but what is really striking is the way he manages to transmit the soul of Oman: with respect, depth and heart. Issam knows his country deeply and tells it with a living, human, true naturalness. And then there were the light moments, the ones that make a trip unforgettable: the improvised breaks for his inevitable “espresso” 😅, the delicious karak shared between one stage and another, his jokes, laughter, and even the English lessons to Marco during the long drives, which turned the time in the car into a moment of complicity. But what makes Issam really special is that he didn't stop at the leading role. He opened the doors of his home, took us to the places of his childhood, allowing us to enter an intimate, everyday Oman, away from the tourist circuits. In those moments we did not feel like customers, but guests. Unforgettable even when he made Marco wear the traditional Omani dress, attracting the curiosity and smiles of everyone 🤣: a gesture full of meaning, which tells the pride and sharing of a culture. Issam is a man of authentic values, and through him we have known those of Oman: sincere hospitality, respect, dignity, kindness, sense of belonging. Thank you, Issam, for making us feel at home so far from home.
Great guide in Muscat

5.00We discovered Muscat thanks to Issam, a super guide, passionate and very professional. From the very first minute, he was able to adapt the program to our wishes, while sharing a deep knowledge of local culture, history and traditions. Always attentive, attentive and smiling, he made every visit fluid and rewarding. His advice, anecdotes and organizational skills made all the difference. Monuments, restaurants and experiences will remain unforgettable. I highly recommend this Muscat guide to all those who wish to live an authentic, serene and organized trip here.
OMAN THAT ENCHANTS!

4.00Oman ... a land that amazes and enchants! Thanks to our guide Isam (who speaks great Italian) we got to know a country rich in history and with fantastic natural landscapes, from the desert, to the mountains, to the sea. Thanks Isam for accompanying us on this beautiful journey!!
The true spirit of Oman

5.00Family trip to Oman led by Issam. Not only a guide but it turned out to be a real travel companion. We did the tour in the company of our two children (1 year and 4 years) and managed to provide us with the right mix of experiences according to our needs. Thanks to him we have known the right soul of Oman living not the tourist places but those frequented daily by locals. It was a unique experience and this was only possible thanks to the professionalism and sensitivity shown by Issam. We traveled over 1000 km without ever feeling the weight and fatigue that inevitably these long days bring with them. For those who want to know and visit Oman not as tourists but real guests of a culture so far from ours but at the same time close. We couldn't have hoped for anything better.
Nine days of Omani travel with Issam

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We keep a wonderful memory of our trip to Oman, led and guided by Issam. Issam is a "character": under 30, he speaks fluently 9 languages (but does not refuse to improve further), does not let go an hour without feasting on his jokes, drives perfectly and casually (ah, this turn in the sand of the track that leads to Wahiba Sands!) and gives free rein to his passion to make his country known by going off the beaten track (in addition to the program concocted by the agency): superb "Oman across ages museum", memorable cafes, Bedouin snacks at the gates of the desert, Nizwa by night, lost wadis ... until a portable introduction to MMA (world championships in New York), live, on the side of the road... What memories, Issam! Thank you!
