5.00This was one of the most incredible tours we have taken, we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Oman. We contacted Sunshine Tours the day before our intended tour date. Mohammed kindly arranged our tour with less than 24 hours notice, which was great. Our tour guide Hamood was so friendly and looked after us so well throughout the tour. Hamood is a natural story teller and gave us so much insight into the history, culture and heritage of Oman. We shared lots of laughs together too! We drove from Muscat to Nizwa and enjoyed visiting the local markets where we tasted the most amazing varieties of dates with Omani coffee. We then visited the fort, a remarkable landmark of the finest design and architecture, with the most amazing views. We travelled to Jebel Akhdar / The Green Mountain (2000 meters above sea level) where we enjoyed a delicious Omani lunch. After lunch we enjoyed the most breathtaking views of Oman from The Green Mountain and Hamood took some amazing photos for us. A truly unforgettable day out together!
A wonderful tour from...

5.00A wonderful tour from start to finish. The Nizwar fort and castle was terrific and the souk (which is in the same grounds) was really interesting, the Omanis are really friendly people and there is no hassle or pressure selling if you just want to stroll around the different stalls. The drive up and views from Jebel Akdah are stunning and then a visit to the fascinating little village of Birkat where you can wander round the abandoned farmers villages and get a sense of how they lived - wonderful little coffee shop up here as well - our guide Abdul was truly wonderful for the whole trip, a super friendly and knowledgeable guide, who we gelled with straight away. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and thank you again Abdul!
Great day out to experience Oman culture and landscape

5.00It was a wonderful trip and worth money. The tour guide was excellent, he was very courteous and helpful. He even carry around our shopping stuff, made many trips to the vehicle to put our shopping in the car. He spent 12 hours with us instead of 8 hours. I will give 10 out of 10 for this trip on its value and service.
Wonderful visit to Nizwa

5.00We had a wonderful time with Muneer, who was extremely knowledgeable. The tour was well-paced, and Muneer picked us up at 8.30 am promptly. He also suggested a great restaurant for lunch which was vegetarian-friendly. The entrance fee to Nizwa Fort was not too expensive, at 5 OMR per person. We really enjoyed the bustle and atmosphere at Nizwa souk and the fort, and the views from Jebel Akhdhar were amazing
Amazing day tour from Muscat!
