A very enjoyable experience! Visiting the historical Fanja and seeing the view of the valley was amazing. Walking around Nizwa with Ghusun was both educational and relaxing and overall fun.

I had an amazing first day exploring Oman on this tour. Starting with the lively goat and cow market in Nizwa then to the forts, souqs, and cultural experiences, every stop offered a unique and memorable insight into the Omani culture. The mix of history, local traditions, and food made it such a great experience. I highly recommend this tour.

We expected much more for this tour. To begin with, the car that picked us up was dirty. Our guide although kind and polite limited to just drive the vehicle and provide only few basic insights of the sights we visited. The highlight of the tour was Nizwa castle and fort but the remaining places we visited are not really breathtaking nor do they merit the long drive and high cost. Overall, the experience was just OK but I wouldn’t do it again.

We were expecting a lot more from this tour. To begin with, the car that picked us up was dirty. The tour guide limited to drive the vehicle and provide only the basic insights of the places we were visiting, no background or history. He was kind and polite but not really a great tourist guide. The highlight was definitely the castle and fort at Nizwa, the remaining sites in my opinion are not worth the long drive and the high cost of this tour. There was no water at the car which is always challenging with this heat. Overall just an OK day but don’t think it’s worth the price.

Our experience was excellent! Our guide, Ghusun, was incredible—knowledgeable, engaging, and patient. He answered all of our many questions and made the tour truly enjoyable. We absolutely loved it!

The experience was both fun and enriching, and the atmosphere throughout the day was warm and inviting. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the journey even more enjoyable. I had so much fun from start to finish, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience.
