Relaxed and informative
What a nice tour! A small group of 3 felt like It was a family outing. Our tour guide, Mahommed, was very polite and knows a lot of the city. He even helped me bargaining at the Souq. There was no rush, the clients determined the pace of the tour. Our van was in good condition, lots of space. I especially liked the karak chai that was offered to us towards the end of the tour. Highly recommended.

Unbelievable Hike and Swim!
One of the best experiences of our Oman trip! We booked the Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole tour through Viator, and our guide Abdullah was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish.
We started the hike around 10am and finished around 1:30–2pm. It was incredibly hot, but Abdullah made sure we took plenty of water breaks and never felt rushed. The hike itself was beautiful, but spending time swimming in the water and exploring the caves at the end made it completely worth it!
We also really appreciated the smaller group size, which made the experience feel much more personal and relaxed. Abdullah did a great job of keeping everyone together, explaining things along the way, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the day. The transportation was also very comfortable, which was definitely appreciated after the hike!
By far one of the highlights of our trip to Oman and something I would highly, highly recommend. Wadi Shab is absolutely worth experiencing, and having a great guide like Abdullah made it even better!

Muscat's best tour guide!
Khalid our tour guide was exceptional in every way.
Three of us had a wonderful experience, we couldn't be happier with his service from start to finish. He was very generous with his time and knowledge.
Everything exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend Khalid if you are looking for excellent service, comfortable vehicle and an incredible amount of knowledge. He is obviously very knowledgable and passionate about his history and culture.
He made the tour fun and relaxed as he has a great sense of humour too.
We had a truly memorable experience, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
Thank you Khalid!

Fantastic Snorkeling Experience
We had a wonderful snorkeling experience in the Gulf of Oman and enjoyed every moment. The water was clear, calm, and perfect for snorkeling, with plenty of colorful fish and marine life to see. The guide and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe in the water.
Everything was well organized, from the equipment to the time spent snorkeling, and there was a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. It was a beautiful way to experience Oman’s coastline and marine life, and a highlight of our time there. We would definitely recommend this snorkeling tour to anyone looking for a memorable and easy-going ocean adventure.

Superb day
A superb day out , visiting Nizwa fort and castle . Being expertly driven up and back down the mountain with full explanation by our guide and car enthusiast Aimen of how the 4 x 4 works .
Seeing the fossils so high up indicates how massive that earth quake must have been.
Followed by a cuppa and cake at the banana farm on our way back.

Beautiful sands, awesome guide
I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this experience, from the road trip and getting to talk to our super knowledgeable and friendly guide Qais, to the wadi where we got to take a dip in the clear waters and get my feet exfoliated by little fishies (optional but I recommend), to my favourite part of going to the desert sands and just absorbing the beauty of it at sunset

A Great Day!
I'm really glad I selected this tour. It was a beautiful, fun, and relaxing day, and everything went perfectly well and as expected based on the descriptions and reviews. Our guide Wadd was superior. I don't use WhatsApp so he took the time to communicate with me through the Viator app, and he was right on time in picking me up at my hotel. Wadd was kind and generous throughout the trip and never pressured us to hurry up, even though I think we were a bit slow and took a ton of photos. There were only three of us in the group so we were all comfortable in his 4x4 car. The scenery was gorgeous, and I learned a lot about Omani history at Fort Nawaz and the other historical sights we saw. The Khubz Ragag bread we tried at the fort was delicious. A must-try if possible. Our lunch was very good too. The mountains of Jebel Akhdar are lovely. You can clearly see the geologic forces that shaped them. I enjoyed stopping at the Al-Sharif Museum and seeing the beautiful views from the cafe deck there. I can highly recommend this great day tour and GidOman.

A wonderful tour from...
A wonderful tour from start to finish. The Nizwar fort and castle was terrific and the souk (which is in the same grounds) was really interesting, the Omanis are really friendly people and there is no hassle or pressure selling if you just want to stroll around the different stalls. The drive up and views from Jebel Akdah are stunning and then a visit to the fascinating little village of Birkat where you can wander round the abandoned farmers villages and get a sense of how they lived - wonderful little coffee shop up here as well - our guide Abdul was truly wonderful for the whole trip, a super friendly and knowledgeable guide, who we gelled with straight away. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and thank you again Abdul!

This is a great trip, a...
This is a great trip, a long day but well worth it. It was estimated to be 10 hours but was actually 12 hours. This was a small group tour, only 12 people, but we travelled in 3 4x4s. Our driver and guide, Abdul Hamid, was lovely and very knowledgeable. Nizwa Fort is amazing, one could spend a lot longer there than we had. Travelling to the mountains and "grand canyon" was amazing. A very good lunch was included in the price. I thoroughly recommend this trip.

Great choice for a day tour from Muscat
Great day tour from Muscat. The scenery was gorgeous and the hike through the canyon and then the swim in the wadi provided a good amount of exercise, which is what we were after. The tour was well organised and the communication was seemless. We were very happy overall.

Our day in Iman
the tour was awesome, you have the best guide, we are traveling to different countries and we didn’t have any guide as Mahmood, super kind, respectful and he gave us a lot information about Oman, thank you for the tour you made our day. We will be back soon if God wants.

Great half day trip
Great half day of snorkelling.
The whole trip was about four hours from leaving Seeb Harbour. 30 minute fast speedboat ride to 1st snorkelling point, snorkelling from the boat.
We saw lots of turtles, coral and fish, sea was warm and calm, good visibility.
.Next stop was to an island nearby where you could walk to the beach from the boat and either sit, swim, snorkel or walk.
We then got back to Harbour at 5:30 as the Sun was setting.
There were plenty of drinks and snacks on the boat and Captain Happy Flower was excellent.
