5.00Did a half day tour with Said of all the major sites in Muscat. It was very enjoyable!!! He was great!!! He kept us entertained all the trip and explained everything as we went round. I can highly recommend.Starting early in the morning was a good idea before it got too hot. He was happy to keep taking our pics as well!!!
A VIP Experience even at a Shared Tour Price

5.00Thanks to Said, we fell in love with Oman.Every customer of his is VIP. He’s a charismatic, positive, engaging guy who knows everybody seemingly across Oman, and is willing to open his tips and tricks up to you to ensure you are treated fairly, taken care of, and happy. If you are hesitant or deciding, book Said. If you want a tour of a lifetime, book Said. I am picky with tours because I’m disinterested in someone who will only show you the tourist traps. He even knows the people at the tea and bread place up the mountain! Yes, he bought us tea and bread. So many beautiful sites in one night. It doesn’t matter how tired you are. Drink coffee and get out there. It’s worth your money. Would book again with any and all tours he offers. Good for family, couples, and friend (Said has many many brothers and sisters - ask him - so he can entertain all crowds). We booked regularly shared and still got VIP treatment (nobody else was on the tour by chance) but if you book a private tour I can only imagine that he will take you to more locations to eat fresh fish, take photos, and challenge you to not fall in love with Muscat.
Everything was superb

5.00It was indeed a great trip. The Staff was truly kind and supportive, which made me feel relaxed even before arriving at the Airport. (I was able to join upon arrival.) The guide was resourceful and so helpful. The food, market, mosque, everything was superb. Truly enjoyed the tour and am deeply grateful. Thank you very much, indeed. 空港に早朝（定刻）到着し、そのままツアーに参加できました。（空港からの参加は料金が加算されます。ツアーの後はホテルまで送ってもらいました。）スタッフもガイドさんもとても親切で、お蔭様で楽しく有意義な時間を過ごせました。（米国からの他の参加者の方々も満喫している様子でした。）マーケットで値段を交渉してくれたり、スィーツが試食できたり密度が濃かったです。有難うございます。

5.00Here’s a polished and natural-sounding rewrite of your comment: I had a wonderful experience on the Half Day Authentic Muscat City Tour with Said Alsadi. He is very friendly, highly knowledgeable about Muscat, and speaks fluent English. His explanations were clear and engaging throughout the tour. I highly recommend him as a tour guide. If you’d like it shorter or more casual, just let me know 😊
A nice day out

5.00Best tour we have done abroad so far. The tour went much longer than planned and our guide Abdullah put a lot of effort into it and answered all our questions. He was very caring, we didn't miss anything.
Very kind Tourguide,...

4.00Said was very helpful. We had to change dates because the weather was bad and he was very accomodating. We ate a wonderful fish supper in Muscat with him On day 2, sadly the driver was late collecting us after snorkelling trip. Otherwise all was very good.
