5.00I had a wonderful experience with 'Fun and Tours' on my day trip from Muscat. Mr. Khalil was on time, made sure we were comfortable and gave us an overview of what we will cover on the trip. He answered all questions we had related to the trip. We covered the Old House, and the Oasis in the ancient village of Misfat Al Abriyeen. Next we visited Jebel Shams and then Nizwa. We had a fun experience having lunch under a tree by a dry river bed. Mr. Khalil gave us an off-roading experience through the river bed in his 4x4. He gave us a guided tour of all the spots and was kind enough to stretch the time a bit to ensure we could cover the beautiful Fort of Nizwa. Mr. Khalil is very knowledgeable about the places and culture of Oman and took us through the day as a friend would. Very satisfied with the trip. Would highly recommend.
