Absolutely fantastic adventure with Musa!

5.00I had a FANTASTIC day in Nizwa with Musa as my guide! Musab from Oman Compass Tours helped to arrange the tour for me via email and was very helpful. They accommodated and early pick up as I particularly wanted to visit on Friday to go to the Goat market which was a really unique experience. Musa was a fantastic guide! I felt instantly at ease in his company and he made the day flow seamlessly. I learnt so much from him and having him show me around allowed me to experience and explore the places we visited in a way I would not have been able to alone. Huge thankyou for an absolutely wonderful adventure! It was a highlight of my trip to Oman. I would absolutely recommend!

5.00The experience with OMAN COMPASS TOURS was unreal. The professionalism, the customer service the caring they took for my family of 30 people travelling in 4 different cars was really special. I cannot recommend them enough. From the time we got picked up at the hotel, until we got dropped off in the night every little detail was explained and made the whole experience feel magical. My family were very happy choosing OMAN COMPASS TOURS.

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience with our Oman tour guide! From the vibrant atmosphere of Nizwa Souk to the breathtaking snorkelling adventure at Dimaniyet Islands, every moment was perfectly curated. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable trip. The visit to Nizwa Souk was a cultural immersion like no other, and the underwater wonders at Dimaniyet Islands left us in awe. We highly recommend this tour guide for anyone looking to explore the best of Oman. Five stars!
