We had a very good day and experience with Mohammed. The tour is well planned and gives one a very good flavour of the main attractions in Muscat city. Visit to the grand mosque is definitely a must do. Pros : Well planned and just enough detailed to give a food flavour Good local guide Cons: Parking may require lot of walking so if you have people with limited mobility, the drop off should be closer

Khalid is an incredibly polite, friendly, and professional tour guide. We arrived very early on Friday morning, and although many major attractions were closed, he went above and beyond to make our experience special. He kindly offered to take us for Subuh prayer, which allowed us to enter the mosque, an experience we truly appreciated. The car was very clean, his driving was smooth and safe, and he made sure we were comfortable at all times. He truly ensured we had a wonderful and memorable time in Muscat. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely half a day exploring Muscat with our guide Ahmed Alghamari. He was friendly, patient and flexible which was important when you want to enjoy things at your own pace instead of running around to check the box. Highly recommend Ahmed.
