        Good tour with some points to pay attention to
        Great tour, the guide did well and took me around the city and we even went to some extra places on the way to buy a couple things I needed. The experience around the souq was fun. I did the tour in the afternoon, which required some adjustments (fish market, inside part of the Opera, and grand mosque were closed). I suggest doing the tour in the morning if possible. Make sure to confirm the itinerary before. This would be 5 stars if not for the level of English of the guide, who changed last minute. He was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately could not speak English well. So I could get some bits of info here and there, but we could not have real discussions. So double-checking for this point before the tour is recommended.

        Muscat in a nutshell
        Mohammed Al Ghatrifi came promptly to pick me up and brought me to some of the most amazing areas of the city. I had a nice insight of culture history and architecture, tried local sweets and coffee and had a nice stroll in the souq. Frankincence tee also found together with some examples if unique traditions. In a couple of hours everything was covered without being rushed or tiresome. Really appreciated.

        Beautiful Oman
        The tour was amazing, highly recommend. There is so much to see if Muscat, and thanks to my guide, Mohammed Al Ghatrifi, I got to try Omani ragag for breakfast which was so good. Can’t wait to come back to Oman and see more! Thank you

        A great way to see this amazing city
        Hisham was my guide for today and he was brilliant! The tour was well organised and the aircon in the car was much appreciated in this heat. Hisham didn't shy away from any of my questions and made sure I got the most out of each stop of the tour. What an amazing way to spend the day exploring this beautiful city! Thankyou!

        Thoroughly recommended half day tour of Muscat's highlights
        A fabulous half day tour of the highlights of Muscat, with time to stop, walk around and take some photos of this beautiful place. My guide was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and helpful, pointing out things I would have missed, and giving me lots of background information. Door to door service from my hotel and I'm so pleased to have done this tour - I would have missed so much. Thank you.

        A great trip
        It was a very well organised trip that we booked last minute. Our guide Hassan was very informative and made it a very pleasant way to see a lot of things in a comfortable way. We would recommend it as a very good way to see these sights in a timescale that did not appear rushed and have a local guide who gave good insight into Omani culture and was happy to answer questions.

        A wonderful way to spend the day!
        My wife and I did a day trip from the mountain of Jabal Akhdar to Muscat. Along the way we stopped at various scenic and historical locations, learning a lot along the way, and getting an appreciation for the amazing people and culture of Oman. Our guide Ghassan was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and a wonderful human being. What makes a really big difference when you’re spending all day with a guide is being able to get a deep connection, and Ghassan made us feel like family that he was taking care of. Thank you Ghassan for an amazing day! - Tariq San Francisco, California

        Muscat Beautiful Oman
        A great experience visited historical areas and the beautiful mosques of Oman and its rich history. Also the Soul in Mutrah. My guide Ghassan a local Omani had a wealth of knowledge and spent so much time showing me the sites. Great service and his love for his country shows how proud the people are of this great nation. I highly recommend booking this tour and Ghassan the best tour guide I have ever met.

      Thank you to my guide Qassabi, I had a great moment ! He came at the hotel on time, told me a lot about Omani history on the way to Nizwa, took me there early enough to avoid the mass of tourists. He is very friendly and respectful and will make sure you enjoy your tour.

      My husband and I were looking for a convenient and engaging way to get to know Oman as we had limited time in Muscat.
      The tour was perfect - our guide Qaseem was amazing! He gave us so much insight into the Omani way of life, its rich history and so many interesting facts that we would have never been able to appreciate any other way.

      He picked us up perfectly on time and communication with the company was great.

      Qaseem was super entertaining and answered all our incessant questions! We saw the most beautiful sights and he took us to some hidden viewing spots that only a local would know.

      We absolutely loved our day out with him - he even sang to us live after showing us the music he makes outside of this work. It was so good!

      We always look to delve into the culture wherever we visit, and this tour was absolutely brilliant in getting us to understand Oman really well. The place is beautifully and the people are so lovely.

      We'd both recommend booking this to anyone!

      For general tips to travellers -
      - Wear comfortable walking sandals. You'll be in your feet a lot and there was a bit of climbing / trekking (you obviously don't have to do this but if you want the views, it's a must!)
      At the fort, there are a lot of stairs so just keep that in mind too. To be honest, everything is so incredible to look at, you really won't care about it!

      - We were provided with some fruit and water to eat. The fruit was so good! Take a long some snacks yourself though for a bit extra sustenance.

      - The souk at the fort closes at 1 and reopens at 4. If you want to buy things from it, maybe have a look through before exploring the fort because the time really whizzes past! We actually wanted to try the halwa but got to the shop too late because we were so enthralled by the fort and gardens!

      This tour was the highlight of my trip to Oman! Everything was perfect from pickup to drop off. Mohammed Al Ghatrifi is a wonderful friendly guide who has a passion for his country’s history - he was extremely knowledgeable and shared amazing information about each place we visited. He gave me an overview of what to expect and also offered the option of replacing one of the stops to suite my preference (he suggested Manah to attend Museum across ages instead of Samail which was wonderful) .

      Experiencing Oman with this tour felt a lot more authentic and natural than other tours I have attended which felt rigid/ detached.

      You truly get a feel for the essence of the country with this tour and the scenery you will come across is unforgettable!!

      Thank you Mohammed for this lovely experience, I will definitely be booking again!

      I would like to thank this company for allowing me to book this tour at the last possible minute. I booked it the morning of the tour, where all others had availabilities for the following day. Great communication through WhatsApp on ensuring that they had received my confirmation and that they were sending me my guide for pick up at my hotel. I had the privilege of having Mohammed Al Ghatrifi as my personal guide. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was very personable and accommodating. Thank you so much Mohammed! I had such a great experience enjoying the beauty of Fanja, Nizwa, Izmir, and Samal. You even took me to the impressive Wadi Dayqah Dam, which most tourists overlook! Thank you so much! I look forward to returning to Oman.

      We went on a day tour from Muscat to Nizwa, our tour guide Qasim Qassabi was very knowledgeable and had shared great insights about Oman and all the attractions we have visited in Nizwa and on the way. He went above and beyond what was expected in the itinerary. I would highly recommend going on this day trip.

      We had an absolutely fantastic full-day tour from Muscat to Nizwa with Mohammed as our guide. The vehicle was extremely comfortable, with the air conditioning set to the perfect temperature, which made the long drive very pleasant.

      Mohammed was not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. He shared fascinating insights, which truly enriched our experience. His passion for the region's heritage was evident and made the journey all the more engaging.

      From start to finish, everything about the tour was seamless and enjoyable. If you're looking for a guide who combines professionalism, comfort, and a wealth of knowledge, Mohammed is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
