Said messaged well in advance of the trip, to offer advice related to this tour or any other enquiries - and after getting to know him, this didn’t surprise me at all. An absolute gentleman who made our trip(s) fantastic.
Also, I had booked an evening city tour (through Viator) with a different company, the night prior to this trip. They cancelled a couple of hours prior and when I explained this to Said (due to his offer above), he stepped in at the 11th hour and took my wife and I on an additional tour at a very competitive price, with additional stops.
In terms of the trip we booked, it ticked all the boxes we were after, and even an additional stop at the perfume factory (following a chat about it the night prior), with no additional charge.
He also provided plenty of cold water, and his Land Cruiser was very comfortable throughout both trips. He knew all the photo spots to go too and even took pictures of my wife and I.
Following the trip, he also sent a list of restaurants and places of interest that worked within our schedule, including in Jabal Akhdar where we were going the next day.
I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better host while in Muscat.

Excellent evening tour with Said, markets, old city, palaces & much more! It was a pleasure to hear about Oman & Muscat from Said. You can really tell he has a genuine love for his country & city
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Habibi for the kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and show you Muscat by my eyes.
I wish a wonderful time for the of your staying in Oman.

We had a lovely trip out. Muhammed our guide was on time and very friendly. The Grand Mosque is incredible not to be missed as is the opera house. At the opera house you join a timed tour with an in house guide, their guide was not as good as Mohammed. All in all a great way to get to know the city and see its key sites.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our half-day tour of Muscat with Two Brother Adventure. From start to finish, everything was smooth, friendly, and truly enjoyable.
Said is super caring, were knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the tour feel personal and fun particularly as we were with my two daughters and elderly mother.
Said shared fascinating stories about
Muscat's history and culture, took us to all the must-see spots, and made sure we had plenty of time to explore and take photos.
Said's passion for Oman really shows, and it made the experience even more special.
Whether you're visiting Muscat for the first time or you've been here before, I highly recommend booking a tour with Two Brother Adventure. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, learning, eating delicious local food and great company. I would definitely tour with them again!!! He also followed up and shared with is links to great restaurants!!
Thank you Said!

Our guide, Abdullah, was brilliant. He gave us insight into the culture and history of the country whilst showing us around all the main sights.

The tour is well worth the time and experience! It is an introduction to popular sites in Muscat and gives you a sense of how rich the Omani culture is.

An excellent experience with a great and knowledgeable guide. Saeed is a great and generous person and a true gentleman. He took care if the slightest details and went out of his way to make our trip entertaining and pleasant Among other places, e very much enjoyed the Mutrah souk visit . I highly recommend him for any visitor to Oman. Thank you Saeed and a happy New Year.

Fantastic late afternoon/evening tour of Muscat. Said my guide was very welcoming and the experience went beyond the sights listed (which were all great) to also understanding Omani culture and the wider country. Also included some fun (and tasty) snack stops along the way. The tour had a good pace too, never rushed but not hanging around either. I highly recommend picking this tour.

A group tour that I ended up being the only person on so I got the private tour treatment. Mohammad was an impressive young man and tour guide who picked me up on time and showed me around. We did the major stops and he entertained me with stories and details about Muscat and his life. My one suggestion would be to maybe have a little more time to explore the corniche at the forts but they may have to introduce a full-day option and add more things to it. Overall, it was a very sweet tour of a very sweet city

Absolutely an amazing adventure!
Where do I even start? From the punctual pickup to the entire day’s journey, everything was perfect. Having an incredible guide like Mohamed made the experience even more memorable—I felt like I was spending the day with a local friend. I got to see all the major highlights of the beautiful city of Muscat.
Book this trip—you definitely won’t regret it!

Very good tour to many scenic spots in Muscat. Said was very friendly and full of information. He also was accommodating for personal requirements, e.g. staying at places as long as necessary to get all the pictures without rushing. Can highly recommend this tour.
Adele_H, Nov 2025
We had an amazing day with Ahmed. He was so generous with his time and gave us lots of information at the sites. We did not feel rushed in any way and I’m sure he went overtime. We enjoyed learning a little about the Omani culture too. The communication from the company was excellent right from booking through to pick up. They definitely wanted to make our day special and they certainly succeeded. I highly recommend this company and tour.

I looked at heaps of tours and chose the Two Brothers one because they just felt more personal and authentic. And I was right! You couldn’t find a better introduction to this gorgeous city, nor a better guide than Said. He was immensely charming, knowledgeable, interesting, chatty, just fun to spend the time with. And the service and communication was friendly and engaging from the moment I booked. Said made me feel more like a friend coming to town than a paying guest. Loved loved loved my first evening in Muscat because of him. And they can arrange almost anything you want to do for you too. Best choice ever

Strictly necessary to have a guide by car in Muscat because the neighborhoods are so scattered. You get around smoothly and safely.
I had a long transit and then went from the airport ToR then there was an extra fee for it.
