Should be 5⭐️+++ Genuinely the Best Tour Guide in Muscat!!!

5.00Said messaged well in advance of the trip, to offer advice related to this tour or any other enquiries - and after getting to know him, this didn’t surprise me at all. An absolute gentleman who made our trip(s) fantastic. Also, I had booked an evening city tour (through Viator) with a different company, the night prior to this trip. They cancelled a couple of hours prior and when I explained this to Said (due to his offer above), he stepped in at the 11th hour and took my wife and I on an additional tour at a very competitive price, with additional stops. In terms of the trip we booked, it ticked all the boxes we were after, and even an additional stop at the perfume factory (following a chat about it the night prior), with no additional charge. He also provided plenty of cold water, and his Land Cruiser was very comfortable throughout both trips. He knew all the photo spots to go too and even took pictures of my wife and I. Following the trip, he also sent a list of restaurants and places of interest that worked within our schedule, including in Jabal Akhdar where we were going the next day. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better host while in Muscat.
Excellent evening tour

5.00Abdullah was a great guide and I was lucky enough to have a private tour with him. He was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure I had a good time. As a plus one of the locations we visited were busy. Thanks and I recommend this tour for others
Great city tour, friendly and knowledgable guide, 4 hours flew by in a moment but lots of memories remained!

5.00We always try to book a city tour with one of the local guides when we travel, it’s the best way to discover the city in the most efficient way and sometimes even adjust the program on the fly if we wanted to. These experiences can be a hit and miss but this time we hit the jackpot. Said was just superb! Arrived on time, never stopped smiling, constantly talked about what we were seeing and about to see, his car was modern and comfortable and we managed to see everything we wanted to. I asked a lot of questions as I am always interested in local culture, people’s lives, relationships with nearby countries. Said is a great communicator, explained me a lot of local nuances and his English is btw great! It was also fascinating to see how many people knew him, everywhere we went he was warmly greeted by others! If you are looking for a local guide and either have something specific you want to see or just get a general local tour - just get in touch with Said! You will not be disappointed! Said, huge thanks from us, we will get in touch when we are here again to see other parts of the country!
Don't Miss It!

5.00Said was a great guide. Super personable and knowledgeable. Had a wonderful time being shown around Muscat. The grand mosque there is not my favorite building in the world, even over the mosque in Abu Dhabi!

5.00Great tour. Said was super friendly and shared lots of interesting information and stories about Oman. The evening time was a great time to see the main sights of the city lit up. And there were plenty of chances on the tour to stop for some tea or coffee and enjoy a chat. It was very relaxed and the time flew by.

5.00Abdullah was punctual and an excellent tour guide / driver. He was very knowledgeable and courteous to the point where other tourists were asking him about the history of Oman and its Mosques. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was stunning and the Souk was quaint and interesting. Thank you again Abdullah so much an informative day and showing us the wonderful city of Muscat.All the best for the future. Shakil and Lucy.
