Very interesting tour, the commentary could be improved

Philippe_C, Apr 2022

Our guide was friendly and tried his best but he spoke too fast, not always distinctly which made him difficult to understand. Nevertheless, we visited all the places as planned and enjoyed the day.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Agradável

Sara_M, Jan 2024

O Tour em si foi agradável é facil estabelecer o contacto direto com a empresa, contudo o Viator promoveu serviços incluídos (como bilhetes de admissão) que afinal não estavam incluídos, não tendo compensado o valor pago pelo Tour.

Visite magique

JOEL_G, Dec 2023

Très bonne Excursion. Une voiture nous attendait au port pour cette excursion magnifique qui s’est très bien passée . Le chauffeur qui nous servait également de guide nous a fait découvrir Mascate en accompagnant cette découverte de commentaires historiques. Nous avons une matinée exceptionnelle. Mille merci à notre chauffeur qui s’est montré à l’écoute et très attentionné et prévenant. Que du bonheur.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Merci du fond du cœur pour votre avis positif. nous espérons partager et discuter du vôtre expérience avec vos amis, votre famille et vos collègues. Merci beaucoup encore.
