Said (one of the Two Brothers in the company name) collected us from our hotel & we were lucky enough to have him to ourselves as we're visiting in the humid, less busy September season. The tour kicked off at the mosque which Said prepared us for in advance with a WhatsApp "rules" picture which guided us as to what to wear, and as we went early we beat the crowds & virtually had the mosque to ourselves - a truly breathtaking experience. All the stops we made from the Opera House to a Karak tea stop - were well thought out & perfect to give a really rounded taster of this beautiful city. The fish market was very interesting and as Said is a well known fisherman himself he was greeted warmly by all. We could not have wished for a better tour of Muscat. Said was engaging, funny, smart, well informed & entertaining & answered our myriad questions with grace. I wish we could take him home with us as his laugh & smile are so infectious, but I guess we'd better leave him in Muscat to help explain this fascinating country & culture to others....

I had a great experience with Said! He is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of not only Muscat, but Oman as a whole. He shared so many interesting stories and facts throughout the tour, which made the experience much more meaningful. He made getting around the different tourist spots very easy and convenient. He knows the area well and was also great at recommending places to visit, things to try, and local food. What I enjoyed most was his great personality. He was friendly, approachable, easy to talk to, and made the whole tour feel relaxed and enjoyable. He was also very accommodating and made sure I was comfortable throughout the day.

Messaged Said asking for a tour of Muscat that allowed me to see as much of the city as possible, as I was only there for a day. He created a personalized itinerary that was two parts, one in the morning, one in the evening that was absolutely superb. I saw so much of the city, learned about its history and culture and saw sites that were truly beautiful. If you want a tour that truly allows you to begin to understand Muscat and the lovely Omani people, you must book this tour!
