    Review of: Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole Private Full Day Tour
    Best tour ever!
    Wow! What an amazing time! This experience was so much better than I imagined it would be. The Wadi Shab is the most beautiful hidden gem that we would not have discovered on our own. Ilya is a wonderful host, so friendly, accommodating and full of information about Oman. He gave us lots of great recommendations for things to do and see during the rest of our trip.
    You won’t regret booking this experience!

    Beautiful experience 🐬
    Nice experience! I had a great time with my friends. We saw a lot of dolphins, and during the snorkeling, we swam with turtles and we saw a lot of fish too. Youssef has been extremely reactive and helpful. I definitely recommend this tour.

    Review of: Half-Day Muscat City Tour
    Tour Guide, Salem, Half-Day Excellence!
    I have written hundreds of reviews and believe in the power of feedback: I hope you find my review helpful.

    This is the perfect first-day introduction to both Muscat and Oman and our guide, Salem, was the personification of hospitality, kindness and excellence.

    The best part of the tour for us was the views atop the Mutrah Fort. Just spectacular views and well worth the stairs to get there.

    We personally skipped the museum as was our choice.

    The Grand Mosque was amazing. Stunning.

    I cannot say enough about Salem. He was the perfect first-day ambassador as a tour guide. He put us at ease and allowed us to go with the flow. Well done, Salem!

    1/2 day tour is perfect for your first full-day in Muscat.

    Review of: Full-Day Private Wahiba Sands Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Tour
    Amazing Tour With Amazing Guide
    From the start, the tour felt like it was run by a good friend and not a typical single day tour operator. Ahmed was perhaps the star attraction himself, but the amazing wadi wasn’t too far behind. Ahmed was constantly engaging and has such pride for Oman, you can’t help to feel it too. I highly recommend this tour, as it’s one of the best ever. Smoothly run from pick up to drop off. You are in great hands. Don’t think twice, in fact book it twice. Ask for Ahmed, you won’t regret it!

    Review of: Private Muscat City Tour
    It was ok…
    The Grand Mosque is not to be missed! It was breathtaking! Unfortunately there was no wifi in the van, as promised.. the Opera House was meh, and the Souk is really just a lot of Indian traders with Chinese products. Ilyas was great, but if you’re short of time - just go see the Mosque.

    Review of: Nizwa Jebel Shams Day Tour
    Fab day trip of Jebel Shams/Nizwa with Ali
    Qantab Tourism were great, they helped me organise my solo trip. They were very responsive, organised and accomodating!

    The trip itself was awesome thanks to Ali our guide and driver - he gave us a fascinating tour of historic Nizwa and the souq. We then travelled to Jebel Shams to witness the most spectacular views of the canyon. Along the way, we visited small traditional villages (Fanja, Misfat al Abriyyin..) which we would never have known about had we not hired Ali as our guide. The trip took a bit longer than planned but Ali never complained.

    Not only was Ali extremely knowledgeable, teaching us so much about his culture and his country in general - he was also absolutely delightful and accomodating. Higly recommend!

    Review of: Day Trip to Wahiba Sands & Wadi Bani Khalid (Desert Safari)
    Beautiful day!
    I can absolutely recommend the trip! We had one of the best tour guide, who was very helpful and friendly to us and our child (3 years). Abdullah, thank you again.... also for answering so many questions ;). We learned a lot about the country. The desert is beautiful and the trip through the desert exciting. Wadi Bani Khali made a lot of fun ... also to swim through the caves. One day trip, and good time investment.

    Best experience
    Mr. Kalfan was the best tour guide ever!
    He was very welcoming, kind and generous.
    From the beginning of the the tour he was on time and greeted us with a smile & very much needed bottles of cold water.
    The car was clean and he was very knowledgeable and funny throughout the trip.
    The trip itself is very much worth it, I will for sure go again on another tour !
    Thank you.
