The itinerary was great and Ahmed was such a wonderful guide. We saw and learnt so much, not just about the area we visited but also about Omani people and culture because Ahmed was warm, friendly and engaging. He was also a great driver. We thoroughly recommend this tour ! Thank you !

All day trip, pick up & drop off at hotel. Adjusted the tour to accommodate I was staying in Nizwa vs Muscat. New, clean comfortable car, great driving, overall enjoyable experience specifically Hamood, the guide. Very pleasant, friendly and accommodating. But also with Mohamed, the owner adjusting for the custom pick up location and Analiza handling all the planning & booking details. Exceptional experience all around. I would work with them again when I return and would highly recommend to family & friends.

This visit was an excellent experience, especially the time spent at Nizwa Fort and its souk, which was one of the highlights of our stay in Oman. The atmosphere of the souk, the architecture of the fort and the authenticity of the place made this visit both fascinating and enjoyable. What truly made the difference was our guide, Mr Badar Alhasni. He shared a great deal of knowledge with us and took the time to explain many aspects of Omani culture, traditions and history. His explanations were clear, interesting and always adapted to our curiosity, which made the visit very enriching. We especially appreciated the moments of discussion and exchange with him where he helped us better understand daily life in Oman, local customs and the historical importance of Nizwa. His approach was friendly, engaging and never rushed, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for the whole family. This visit was both informative and enjoyable, combining cultural discovery with genuine human interaction. We highly recommend this experience, especially with such a knowledgeable and attentive guide.

A well planned fort that gives you a glimpse into the kind of lives Omani royalty used to live. Also got to try and shop for halwa and dates at pretty fair prices, thanks to Hamood. He took us to the right shops and also gave us a detailed tour of the entire place and made sure he went at the pace of our very large and rather slow group. Really appreciate him!

Went to Nizwah Fort, Soul, the abandoned Village and the oldest Irrigation system. It was interesting and enlightening at the same time . The Nizwah Souk was smaller that I expected and did not have the number of stalls or the variety as in the Muttrah souk. Nevertheless the pottery stores were unique and here. The irrigation system the fort and the abandoned village were the highlights for the day. And our Tour guide Hamood Bhai was flexible to accomodate last minute changes in our plan. He made our day even more interesting and engaging for all of us. His has in depth knowledge on the history of Oman and neighbouring countries. Both Hamood Bhai and the Driver Tariq made our day memorable. Oman is a must visit place

Amer was amazing. Thoughtful, good English. Great driver. Made a lovely sunrise picnic over Jebel Sham. Best kayak tea. I booked two days one night starting midnight to see sunrise. If short time I would stick to jebel Akdahar and Nizwa area day trip. Was a little worried being single woman and hour of departure but straight away he put my mind at rest. I will recommend him to my friends.
