Top Oman Private Sightseeing Tours

This was an excellent tour and was made even better by our guide, Ali. We started at 5.30am to catch the goat market which was definitely the highlight!!! Worth getting up early for. We made the mistake of doing this tour the day after we arrived late at night - possibly better after a good nights sleep. The mountains and villages were fascinating and were brought to life by Ali.

We had a great day thanks to our amazing guide Yousef from WEB Tours. He picked us up from our hotel at 9 am, the car was very comfortable and the journey to Wadi Shab seemed shorter thanks to the interesting conversation with Yousef, who entertained us with stories about his country and adventures. Despite the fact that there were many tourists at the wadi (it was 1st January!), we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The lunch provided on the way back was probably the most delicious and authentic meal we had in Oman.

I came to Oman for the afternoon specifically just to take this tour so I had a lot riding on it. Wow I was not disappointed! The experience was incredible!!! Way beyond my expectations. Since I picked a day that no one else had booked, I was able to get a somewhat customized tour. The airport is not listed as a pickup location but they were able to pick me up and drop off at the airport as an exception since I was the only one on the tour. Many places were closed during the times of my visit such as the mosque. The tour operator made sure to inform me of that in advance, and then replaced the closed destinations with others that were equally fantastic. My guide Asaad is so passionate and knowledgeable about Oman, I loved learning more about the country. Even in a few hours, I feel like I got a taste of what the country has to offer. Although the tour is meant to be 3-4 hours, Asaad let me take my time in the souk and we ended the tour a little bit over time. Really appreciated the flexible nature of this experience

The tour guide was very nice and he lead attendees properly and gently. He cared all attendees and kept entertaining people until the end even though we were tired. I usually don't join group tours. However I felt I would challenge again if tour guides are like him. He carefully talked with people to minimize the anticipation including me, The experience in Wadi Shab was fantastic and was much more than my expectation. Beautiful and exciting. I just though one to be improved below. Prenotification was just one day before and I purchased swimming shows, water shield bug already. I won't buy those if I knew those could be purchased or lent. I heard a Vietnamese lade didn't swim because she said there were too many people swimming. I guess a lot of Vietnamese can't swim and had no confidence to swim among those a lot of people. Actually the experience was much challenging that I thought. I could enjoy it but it might not be easy for people who don't swim so well. This is just my point of views because I believe she could claim it.

This was a tour of a lifetime! Our guide Fauzi was phenomenal! He was very accommodating and took the time to provide us with numerous facts and take beautiful photos. We started the tour at 10am and were able to watch the sunset in the desert with our 1 year old and 3 year old. 100% recommend!

This is a great full day trip from Muscat, first visiting the souq and fort in Nizwa followed by drive to the spectacular Grand Canyon at Jabal Shams, all rounded off with a delicious late lunch in the way back to Muscat. Our excellent guide Fawzi made the trip very memorable. He was full of interesting information and kept surprising us with delicious treats such as ice creams and teas along the way. The fort provides a fascinating insight into the history of Oman, while the canyon is a breathtaking natural wonder. We highly recommend the trip.
