    Ali our guide was very kind, patient and informative. He arrived early having communicated with us beforehand. We had plenty of time at each stop. Ali’s knowledge and experience really helped us to understand the culture and history of Oman and Muscat. Ali provided drinks and snacks, and was very respectful throughout. We overran by a little in terms of time and Ali was very patient and understanding. We would definitely recommend this trip. Thank you!

  • Excellent tour - well worth the cost!

    This is one of the best City tours we have done and despite the cost, it is well worth the money. We were diving each morning so opted for the afternoon tour and despite not being able to go inside the mosque (we knew before that the mosque only opens 8-11am), we actually preferred going in the afternoon when it was cooler and the souks and City light up and come alive. Muhammed was our guide and he was fantastic - best guide we have ever had! His English was excellent and he was such a lovely person. He knew the City so well having grown up there and threw in extra stops including showing us the first road in Oman and bioluminescents on the beach which was an absolute highlight! Highly recommend this tour and going private has the advantage of spending as long as you want at each stop.

    Nasr was an exemplary tour guide being both courteous and knowledgeable. He took us to various landmark places in Muscat and also was patient whilst we did some shopping at Matrah Souk. The experience is what makes travel and this was most pleasurable. You will not be disappointed to have Nasr as your tour guide.
