Muscat City Tour

Ahmed Alghamari was out tour guide for another day trip, and we personally requested him again because he is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He made the experience even more enjoyable, and we were delighted to have him guide us once more.

Badar showed us the main points of interest (palace, mosque, sukh, view point, marina, opera).

We had a superb tour of Muscat capital area with Badar, a very nice, friendly, personal guide and excellent driver. He shared Omani hospitality, a glimpse into his family, and of course interesting details of the places visited.

Muscat City Tour with Badar

The City Tour with guide Badar was absolutely top! The 6 of us ( 3 couples) enjoyed a 6 hours plus City Tour of Muscat with a superbly competetnt guide. The friendliness and helpfulness of Badar were outstanding. His English was excellent, he was both knowledgeable and flexible. He had drinks and snacks and toilet stops ready for us whenever we needed them. There was simply nothing where we could have asked for more. Thank you, Badar! May God bless you and your family.

Important sights and insights into Omani culture and customs

Excellent tour with important sights in Muscat such as the great mosque, opera house, a bazar, the guest palace and more. Our guide Faisa did a very good job in describing the sights as well as the Omani culture and customs. Thanks for a really great day Faisa!

Muscat tour

We had an amazing time on our Muscat city tour! I can’t thank our tour guide, Said Al Aamri, enough for such a wonderful day exploring Oman. He answered all our questions and showed us hidden gems we’d never have found on our own.Our guide , was punctual, organized, and deeply knowledgeable about the region’s history and traditions. His enthusiasm made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Exceptional tour experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this company and would gladly book another tour with Said in the future.

A private half day Muscat City Tour

What an excellent tour and highly recommended. We were treated to a seamless half day Muscat City Tour with our wonderful guide, Saif, who spoke perfect English and was very polite and informative. We were collected by a spacious air conditioned car and had the privilege of visiting the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque with its stunning architecture. We then explored some highlights of Muscat including the Fish Market, the Souk, the old port with Portuguese forts. We then had a great short tour at the opulent Royal Opera House-we would love to return one day to watch a performance! Thank you very much. A super end to our stay in Oman.

Half a day is enough time to see all the scenic spots

Having moved here for work, I haven't had much time to take in the scenery. It was wonderful to explore the scenic spots of Muscat with my guide, Ali. He took the time to share his knowledge about the sites and the daily life in Oman. Really friendly, good spoken English. Would highly recommend the tour and the tour guide.
