We had a wonderful tour in Muscat with Viator and our driver Ahmed. We had to book our trip the same day (hours before the tour) and Viator confirmed right away. From the moment we arrived, he was already waiting for us at the airport right on time, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day he took us to all the key landmarks, sharing explanations about what we were seeing in a way that was both informative and enjoyable. What we appreciated most was his calm and kind manner. He was professional, respectful of our privacy, yet always available when we had questions. He made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. If you’re visiting Muscat and looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to spend the day with, we can’t recommend Viator and Ahmed enough!

This is a great tour to explore the beauty of the city of Muscat. For us the most impressive experience was the Mosque. Our tour guide Said Al Kiyumi was very knowledgeable, super friendly and made the trip a great experience.
