An enjoyable tour of Muscat

Ghusun contacted up prior to the day of the tour to ensure all was ready for a 9am start. He picked the two of us up from our hotel and immediately made us feel very welcome and comfortable. He has very good communication skills and local knowledge. We certainly enjoyed our tour of Muscat with Ghusun and thank him for his attention.

Muscat City Tour

Title: Excellent Muscat Tour with a Knowledgeable and Friendly Guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic Muscat city tour with Mr. Khalid AlRaqadi. The itinerary covered all the main highlights including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, dolphin watching, Muttrah Fort, Muttrah Souq, Al Alam Palace, Al Mirani & Al Jalali Forts, and the Royal Opera House. Mr. Khalid is very professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable about Omani history and culture. His explanations were clear and informative, which made every location more interesting and meaningful. The tour covered all the things that were mentioned in the itinerary, no time was wasted in the trip. Traffic? Not at all! Roads were clean and all buildings in Muscat looked clean and well maintained! If you’re looking for culture and traditional trip, Oman got it! We truly appreciated his hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Muscat and looking for a reliable, knowledgeable tour guide.

Perfect Muscat City Tour with an Excellent Guide & Photographer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful time exploring Muscat with Mr. Khalid AlRaqadi. Our itinerary included the Grand Mosque, watching dolphins, Muttrah Fort, Muttrah Souq, Al Alam Palace, Al Mirani & Al Jalali Forts, and the Royal Opera House, a perfect mix of culture, history, and scenery. Mr. Khalid is very friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about Omani history. He explained everything clearly and made each place more meaningful, not just a photo stop. Speaking of photos, he knows all the best photo spots and angles and is also a great photographer 📸, which made the experience even better. He never rushed us and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. If you’re looking for a guide in Muscat who is well-informed, patient, friendly, and can capture great memories along the way, we highly recommend Mr. Khalid AlRaqadi.

Great tour of Oman with Hamood

“Hamood from Star Tour was our guide in Oman. He was punctual, cheerful, and kind, and very knowledgeable throughout the tour. We were very fortunate to have him as our guide. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough — he truly made our holiday in Oman unforgettable.

Must do city tour

We did the Private Muscat City tour with our excellent guide Khalil. Was a fantastic day certainly with the highlights being Grand Mosque and the Royal Opera House - both incredibly beautiful buildings. Khalil was fun to be around and provided great commentary on all our destinations and looked after us the entire day which was a little more complicated by the visit of the Lebanese Prime Minister. Khalil worked around this making sure we covered all the attractions set out in our itinerary. We wanted some lunch and Khalil suggested this little restaurant opposite the fish market - you choose your seafood and they cook it for you. Taste was amazing and generous servings. Highly recommend Khalil if you're after a guide in Muscat

Perfect Muscat tour

Fantastic tour with Khalil! We learned so much about Muscat, and he brought us to a great lunch spot for fresh Omani seafood by the fish market. Khalil was able to take great photos of us at the Sultan Qaboos Mosque. The tour was very organized. We would happily book again!
