    Pleasant tour of Muscat

    Nimras picked me up from my hotel on time and in a comfortable car. We went to all places scheduled for the tour and he provided great insite at each location. He spoke English well and he gave me an overview of life in Onan, as well as the history of the country and the current and past Sultan. Since my ability to walk is not great these days, he was quite considerate, and stayed at my pace of walking. Overall, a great tour with a great guide.

    Oman is such a beautiful country you’ll feel in love straight away! A MUST see!

    Without a doubt, OMAN is one of my best trip of my life so far (in Muscat and Nizwa in OMAN)! It’s such a beautiful country that I fell in love with the place straight away. It has amazing views and it is so diverse, I cannot categorize it as a desert country. Special mentions of my tour: a) tour of city of Muscat – daytime and nighttime tour is a MUST. Muscat is a unique, beautiful city that blends ancient culture and modern architecture, with historical forts, mosques, souq, and more; b) my visit to Oman’s oldest city, Nizwa, famous for its historical castle, also its forts, towers, and ancient mosques, as well as its markets and style of buildings. A MUST VISIT when traveling to Oman. It will not disappoint! c) the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, the largest mosque and star attraction in Oman, located in the capital city of Muscat. It's an architectural delight, and is one of the prettiest mosques I’ve seen and I’ve seen many mosques during my many travels all over the world; d) the Omani food – it’s unique, delicious fusion of flavors is memorable. I was warmly welcomed by Jumah, my tour guide. The tours and Jumah and his colleague, Nibras, who went with me to Nizwa, were extremely friendly and professional and were very flexible (I asked to make many stops for photos, for me to savor the beautiful, unique sceneries and the experience of each site, etc. Jumah and Nibras have warm personalities and were patient with me. I truly appreciate their informative and engaging style who shared rich insights into the country's heritage and traditions. Jumah and Nibras were amazing and deserve a special THANK YOU! I recommend Jumah and Nibras to everyone! It’s my first visit to Oman and it was a truly an unforgettable moment. I hope to go back to Oman one day!

    Tourist trap

    It was nice to know the administration centre of the town. But I thought we would visit. The grand mosque a the opera house, but we didn’t. First, the guide to us to a souk and the proposed us to take a te or coffee somewhere. Time was running, night fell and only poor external photos at dark. The driver wasn’t a guide, but a nice guy.

    Excellent service

    Excellent service! Our guide Mr. Akram Abu Qaboos was very good at taking us to different places & giving a background. Friendly & professional.

    Disappointing and not as advertised

    Raeesa_A, Oct 2024
    This is not a tour so it should not be sold as such. There is no guide, there is just a driver that stops at various locations and you get off and tour yourself. It's basically just a taxi service. While we enjoyed the sights and oman is beautiful we felt cheated compared to what is promised in the tour description

    Overall, the tour captain Majeed is very flexible and attentive service transformed our tour into fun and enjoyable. They adjusted the itinerary that suits our preference and accommodates our special requests. Highly recommended for those who has limited time and still wants to maximize it as well.

    A great city tour of Muscat

    Paul_W, Apr 2024
    This was a lovely tour, I had a message the evening before confirming the tour and pick up time. At 8.30am I was met by my guide and we set off on our city tour. It was Friday and during Eid so nothing much was open. We saw the Mosque from outside, the Opera House from outside then went onto the National Museum which was also closed. The Fort was open but I chose not to bother given the 10 OMR charge. The souq was great and the guide gave me as much time as I wanted. He was very hospitable, welcoming and would have gone out of his way if there was anything further I wanted to do.
