5.00Zaher was the best tour guide we could have hoped for: knowledgeable, patient, fond of his country, always keen to adapt the tour to what we wanted to visit and experience. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone willing to discover Muscat in half a day.

5.00From start to finish this was an exceptional tour. We were picked up on time from the hotel by Hisham. We then toured all the main sites and more of Muscat. Throughout Hisham was informative, knowledgeable and a delight to be with. We highly recommend this tour

5.00Today we visited the old part of Muscat with our wonderful guide Hisham, who generously shared his knowledge about the city where he was born. We booked the tour as a private one, and it was truly worth the money. He took us through all the major landmarks, and we felt very comfortable throughout the tour. Before the tour started, we received clear instructions, and he picked us up right in front of our hotel and later returned us there as well. From the Grand Mosque, beautiful panoramic views of the city, the local market and harbor, to the Opera House with its luxury shopping center and a lovely café — everything was perfectly organized. We also received excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay. He truly made our day special! We highly recommend both the guide and the tour. Grateful, Anna and Nenad

5.00Al was a top bloke who drove us around Muscat and even shouted myself and the missus some local tea and bread. Really worthwhile and I’d recommend it as your first thing when you arrive to get the lay of the land

5.00We had a wonderful city tour of Muscat with Hisham. He was very friendly and attentive from the beginning. We were two adults and a two-year-old boy – Hisham even brought a child seat, which immediately made us feel good. The tour was perfectly organized: We visited the impressive mosque, the opera, a traditional souq and tasted Omani bread as well as delicious sweets. Hisham explained a lot about the history and culture of the country and patiently answered all our questions. Thanks to him, we were able to get to know Muscat in a relaxed and personal way. We can absolutely recommend Hisham and would do a tour with him again anytime!
