Our guide Hamood is warm, kind and extremely well-versed in Omani history and culture. He provided us a seamless Muscat tour; showed up early, waited patiently for us throughout, answered all our questions and remained professional & accommodating despite our tour overrunning. His car is also clean and comfortable. He’s a fantastic tour guide and I’d highly recommend any tours with him! Thanks Hamood!

We took a half day tour with Saif through Muscat in the morning. We had a great time - Saif was a very knowledgable guide, very helpful, super friendly and very professional. We saw so many things and experienced Muscat though the eyes of a local. Massive recommendation to take such a tour and especially with Saif, it was very enjoyable!

Very nice tour with attentive, very nice guide who even had tea, coffee and dates ready.Absolutely recommended 👍
Our guide prepared us a wonderful morning.We were not only allowed to get to know Muscat, but experienced Ottoman hospitality.So we tasted dates from our own garden and were invited to the best tea and coffee we ever had. In addition to the stops agreed on in the route, there were also extras such as the fascinating lobby of the Ritz-Carlton. An all-round successful tour👍

We had a wonderful day exploring Muscat with Khalid AlRaqadi from Oman Landscape Tours. Khalid was punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about each site we visited. The tour covered all the main highlights: the stunning Grand Mosque with its intricate architecture, the impressive Royal Opera House, the vibrant Muttrah Souq where Khalid gave us time to browse and helpful shopping tips, the beautiful Al Alam Palace, and the historic Al Mirani and Al Jalali forts with their fascinating history. Khalid’s English was excellent and he shared interesting stories and historical context at each location. He was patient with our questions, ensured we had enough time at each site, and was flexible with our pace. His friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Khalid and Oman Landscape Tours for anyone wanting to see the best of Muscat with a knowledgeable and personable guide.

Muscat is a truly beautiful city - one that is trying to balance it's culture and heritage with the modern world, and managing to pull it off perfectly. Omani's are wonderfully welcoming and kind - despite the hard landscape they inhabit. Our guide; Said Al Kiyumi; simply wanted us to experience his love for his land through his eyes. A great experience, in a great city, with great company.

Have had a few hours to kill so did this tour with my friends. We loved being shown around the beautiful city of Muscat by Mr Said Alkiyumi who knows the place like no other. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to avoid the summer heat and still see the best of Muscat.
