5.00Top-tier service. Amazing guide Obeid was an outstanding guide, he made my first experience in Oman memorable and extremely enjoyable, I loved every minute of it. He was professional, friendly, patient, and best of all engaging throughout the whole tour. We had a rough plan for the tour but I appreciated the flexibility and laid-back nature, I enjoyed the souk, port, and the lunch was simply delightful. We visited notable landmarks, and I was intrigued to learn about the details of each and every one of them. He made the whole tour very relaxing and fun. I will totally come again. Thank you Obeid 🙏🏼

5.00My husband and I had a great experience with Sameer, visiting the Grand Mosque which is awesome inspiring, the Royal opera house, markets, Fort and passing the Sultans palaces. Sameer made our tour truly memorable as he gave us a real insight into his and family life in Oman. He parked up and got us the best chai ( I think) we’ve ever tasted, we learned the traditional way Omani meat is cooked deep in the ground and the best dates to eat! Sameer was very open, we had really interesting conversations and I would highly recommend him🙂
Great tour, amazing guide

5.00We were guided on a tour of Muscat by Mohsin. The city and its history is fascinating, but what made the tour so great was Mohsin’s friendly, welcoming and good nature combined with his passion knowledge and insight about the city. Would highly recommend this tour along with Mohsin as a guide!

5.00I had one night and two days in Muscat - I wanted both time in the sea, wonderful food and time to explore Muscat. Sadly I missed out on the trips to the diving and the dessert but Saif’s commentary made up for that.

5.00Saif my guide collected me from my hotel, the Jumeirah Muscat Bay. His vehicle, an Audi A6 was perfectly cooled inside and spotlessly clean. Saif was very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable throughout the tour and had plenty of bottled water on hand to keep me hydrated. My highlight of the trip was the grand Mosque which was breathtaking, this was closely followed by the Opera House. Definitely recommend it and thank you Saif, you made it or the more worth while.
