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.
Lovely tour of the key sites of Muscat.

5.00We had a lovely trip out. Muhammed our guide was on time and very friendly. The Grand Mosque is incredible not to be missed as is the opera house. At the opera house you join a timed tour with an in house guide, their guide was not as good as Mohammed. All in all a great way to get to know the city and see its key sites.
