4.00The audio guide is very basic…you don’t get any info on the actual mosque and are left to wander around it on your own. The driver will only lead you to the entrance. The visit at the museum was good…the fish market was a waste of time, however, though I decided to walk along the waterfront instead. You unfortunately neither pause, let alone stop, at the opera house and the forts are only a photo opportunity from the outside…you don’t have time to go in, even if you were willing to pay for it. 30min at the Souks are to be expected but I would have rather spent more time seeing actual sights (such as the forts). For one person, it’s an affordable introduction to the city. For couples or groups traveling together, I think you‘re better off sharing a taxi to take you to the stops you actually want to see and spend as much time as you want. You won’t be missing much in terms of commentary.

5.00Our tour guide Mr Naseeb was a great guide, very knowledgeable and a born and raised Omani man with a great knowledge of his history. Myself and my 2 sons (9 & 11yrs) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We learnt so much about the beautiful city of Muscat and will be visiting again very soon.
Stops good, but lacks live commentary from Guide

3.00The pickup was on time. All the stops were great. We missed the Opera House from the outside. We could have stopped for photos since the building is beautiful. However the biggest disappointment was the lack of live guide. We only had a pre recorded audio commentary... That is why 3 stars, otherwise would be 4 stars.
Excellent tour!

4.00We had actually expected a guided tour with a German-speaking Gide. I suppose because of missing bookings there were only two of us and the tour was with headphones. Khaleel the driver showed us everything very well and ultimately made the trip an experience
Recommended tour!

4.00Nice tour to visit Muscat, which I highly recommend as the city is really very large and therefore difficult to see independently, unless you take many taxis. The tour includes several very interesting stops, first of all the one at the majestic mosque of Sultan Qaboos. Less exciting, the one at the fish market, which could be avoided. Excellent audio guide available in several languages on board the bus, which allows you to discover the history of the capital of Oman. I give 4 stars and not 5, as this half-day tour could be extended to a full day, perhaps including further stops at other mosques in Muscat, which has many and one more beautiful than the other.
