I had an amazing experience with star tours guide Badar al hasni who was my tour guide for all my sightseeing trips in Oman. He was patient, professional, and extremely helpful at making sure the tours were accessible for me. Nizwa fort is not really wheelchair accessible but my guide made sure I got the vibe while he took a lot of photos to ensure I don’t miss anything. I saw most highlights with minimal walking. Truly grateful for his kindness and dedication proving the famed Omani hospitality at its best. The tour is highly recommended for the jabal akhdar views.

Cultural experience

Debbie_E, Mar 2026

What a great cultural experience. Thanks to Ahmed who took the time to explain all of the historical context around Nizwa and he also showed us where to buy the best Halwa in the place. This is more than sightseeing, this is about learning the history of Oman and the legacy of the Sultan. Clean air-conditioned vehicle, on time and excellent English means I highly recommend this your.

Wonderful experience!

Andrea_T, May 2024

This was a wonderful day trip from Muscat! I specifically wanted to go to the Rose fields and see how traditional rose water was made, and this tour made it personalized and did so. My guide for the day was phenomenal and was kind to have me try local foods and explain the origin. He knew the history of the Nizwa Fort and the Jebel Akhdar region very well which made the experience enriching. Great, safe, clean and reliable car. I would highly recommend doing this day trip!

Deserts and green hills

Amazing day out

Maxwell_K, Mar 2022

Musab was an amazing tour guide. We had a brilliant day visiting Nizwa and the surrounding area, and Musab made sure we saw lots of interesting sites off the beaten track. Would highly recommend.
