Everything went great, punctual pickup, nice driver, great explanations, water was also enough, much seen,
Interesting city. Exploring in our small group of 6 people. Driver speaks English, very friendly, audio guide consists, however, only in playing through his mobile phone to 3 sights . Great clean car. The drinks included in the tour according to the description were unfortunately not available, then bought us something ourselves. The mosque cannot be visited inside, only by Muslims- we found it a shame, because that was actually our greatest wish.
Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die Stadt gefallen hat, Sie sich in Ihrer kleinen Gruppe wohlgefühlt haben und das Fahrzeug sowie die Freundlichkeit des Fahrers positiv hervorheben. Gleichzeitig bedauern wir sehr, dass der Audiokommentar nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach und die in der Beschreibung erwähnten Getränke nicht bereitgestellt wurden – das sollte selbstverständlich nicht passieren. Bezüglich der Sultan-Qabus-Moschee: Der Zugang ins Innere ist leider zu bestimmten Zeiten und unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen eingeschränkt. Wir verstehen gut, dass dies enttäuschend war, besonders wenn dies Ihr Hauptwunsch war. Vielen Dank für Ihre Hinweise – sie helfen uns, unseren Service weiter zu verbessern.
Driver was late. We called and he showed up 30 minutes later- over an hour after the time they said. He did not tell us anything about the city as we were driving and was on his phone most of the time. Car was littered with empty and half drunk water bottles. We ended the tour early just to get away as our daughters were scared. He didn’t give any insight or information AT ALL.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few important points for future travelers. Your tour took place on a Friday morning, when several major attractions in Muscat — including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Royal Opera House — are closed by government regulation. This information was communicated in advance, and on such days the tour is primarily a city orientation and scenic drive, rather than an in-depth guided visit inside landmarks. Regarding commentary, when sites are closed, detailed guiding is naturally limited while driving between locations. On other days, when attractions are open, our guests consistently receive informative explanations — as reflected in our many excellent reviews. We take cleanliness, safety, and professionalism very seriously as a licensed tourism company, and we regret if any aspect of the experience felt uncomfortable. At no point was there any unsafe situation, and we are sorry to hear that the tour was ended earlier than planned. We truly value feedback and always strive to improve. For the best experience, we strongly recommend selecting a tour date when major sites are open, and we are always happy to advise guests in advance. Kind regards,
This tour was very good and interesting. Mazen provided a lot of insight into not only what we were seeing but also some context for Omani culture. It was also quite flexible to focus more on things of interest and skip things that were less so. We had a great time. We were not happy, however, with Trip Advisor. We booked this trip for two days earlier and were not told the Opera House and the Grand Mosque were not open on Fridays. The tour operator was helpful in moving it to Sunday - our last available day in Oman. Trip Advisor and its partners need to pay closer attention to calendars when providing "Availability" on their website.
Our guide and driver Mazin showed us the highlights of the city. First the beautiful Sultan Qaboos Mosque, then the Opera House and the beach before we walked through the Mutrah Souk. We also visited Mutrah Fort and the palace. Everything at our individual pace. We skipped the museums 😎 Highly recommended.
Super nice guide, incredibly beautiful palaces, total immersion in Arab culture, not too strenuous and ideal for a first day
We had an amazing city tour with Oman Tour in Muscat! Our guide (Ahmed) was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Omani culture, making every stop feel special. From the breathtaking Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque to exploring the bustling Mutrah Souq, each moment was timed perfectly, allowing us to truly experience the city without feeling rushed. The attention to detail, like the comfortable vehicle and cool refreshments, made all the difference. If you’re visiting Muscat, we can’t recommend Oman Tour enough for an authentic, unforgettable experience!
This trip was perfect for a short yet insightful discovery of the city. Very convenient, picked up from and to the airport. Ahmed my guide, was very helpful and easy going. Very helpful either by explaining and or asking help from people in charge of the place of interest. Even took me to a local food place to grab an authentic, where locals eat, delicious and affordable place. Highly recommended 101 %. One can also book a tour straight from the company. Communication with the company too was fast and efficient even I booked literally just hours before the trip.
Thank you for your review. Your comment is appreciated.
Nasar was one the best tour guide I ever meet very professional and very nice guy he show me all around the city for the time I had .Thank you Naser
Lovely trip where we saw many sights in Muscat. The view was beautiful over the city from “fortress”. The basar Muttrah Souk was exciting to explore. The opera house and the sultan's palace were beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
