Excellent introduction to Muscat

5.00This morning we were taken on a wonderful tour of Oman. Our guide Zaher was so welcoming and provided an excellent introduction to his city. His tour of the Grand Mosque was given with deep understanding and insight into the many craftspeople who had contributed to creating this magnificent place of worship. Along the journey through Muscat Zaher gave us an oversight of different aspects of life in Muscat. A highlight was breakfast of fresh bread, cheese and honey. We also loved seeing old Muscat and the Portuguese forts dating back to 1500s built among the sheer beauty of the harsh rock faces. Zaher was a knowledgeable host.
Detailed and thorough tour

5.00Communication was great from the moment of booking. Amazing city tour with Mahmood! Mahmood was an absolutely incredible guide knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about making sure I had the best experience possible. He went above and beyond in every way, assisting me with purchases and even helping me find exactly what I needed when I was looking for something for my baggage. He knew the right places to go, gave excellent recommendations, and even helped me bargain to get the best price. His patience, attention to detail, and warm personality made the tour not just informative, but truly enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I highly recommend Mahmood to anyone visiting Muscat

5.00Excellent tour and guide! We thoroughly enjoyed this half day tour and wish we had booked a longer one. Zaher, our guide, was kind, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. Not only did we see the beautiful sights of Muscat, but Zaher also explained the culture and customs to us. I highly recommend this tour!!!

5.00With only 1 day in Muscat we were pleased that we had booked this half day city tour in advance. Communications with the tour operator were excellent. We received regular updates and advice on dress requirements. Our lovely tour guide Noof arrived on time and was a fantastic host. It was great to learn so much about Muscat and Oman from a local. We saw all the main sites and enjoyed the Karak tea and Omani bread. Definitely recommended
Excellent Tour of City & Surroundings

5.00Zaher was our guide for this tour. He was excellent, spoke good English and was very cordial. He did not rush you and explained everything patiently. He did not say 'no' to anything. The half day tour of Muscat in itself is just enough to see everything by covering all the major areas you need to visit. Highly recommended.
