Great tour to see all the highlights

Jessie_S, Apr 2024
Shabeer was an outstanding guide! He is a local and very knowledgeable. He took us for an authentic Oman breakfast snack, tea and lunch. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw all the sites and had plenty of time to shop at the end and enjoy the city. Muscat is a beautiful city! Don’t take the hop on hop off bus, schedule this tour!

Guide is not professional, less knowledge and lazy. He drop me at mall and tell me to pick me up at 5 pm. I can’t contact him so I have to call taxi myself in difficult situation. Guide text me back at 8PM. he was sleeping wen I call him. …I paid expensive tour for this poor service.

Great Muscat Tour

Abdul Rahman gave us a fantastic tour of Muscat! He was very articulate and knowledgeable and made us feel as though an old friend had guided us through his home town! Would highly recommend. Dave and Laurie Saratoga, Ca USA

Excellent!

I spent several hours in the company of a very knowledgeable guide. Younes (I hope that is the correct spelling) drove me to all the sites that Muscat had to offer while giving me some fascinating insights into life in this equally fascinating country. And to top it off, he's a very nice chap to boot. Thank you for a great day!

Excellent tour avec un guide très attentionné qui a fourni d'excellentes informations. Bonne couverture des sites principaux. Nous avions pris la croisière pour les dauphins le matin ( 10h-13h) suivi de ce tour pour la demi-journée ( début 14h) . C'est une belle combinaison.
