We wanted to visit Nizwa, Alhambra old village and Barket AlMuz. It was absolutely no problem to book it. Rosa made it really quick and gave great recommendations.

He knew every insider and most beautiful spots, knew everyone and made the trip absolutely memorable. It was just amazing. What a warm-hearted and special person he is!

So far, this tour has been a wonderful experience. The service was very accommodating, especially Mr. Said, who was respectful, friendly, and made the tour even more enjoyable with his great sense of humor. The experience was both interesting and educational, as I learned more about Oman's history and the stories behind the places we visited. My favorite parts were exploring the ruins and enjoying the restaurant, which truly made the trip memorable. I also felt that the duration of the tour was just right—not too long or too short. It wasn't overly crowded, and many of my friends and acquaintances joined the tour, which made it even more fun. In my opinion, this tour is especially great for families, as well as anyone interested in learning about Oman's history while enjoying a relaxing and well-organized outing.
