The audio guide is very basic…you don’t get any info on the actual mosque and are left to wander around it on your own. The driver will only lead you to the entrance. The visit at the museum was good…the fish market was a waste of time, however, though I decided to walk along the waterfront instead. You unfortunately neither pause, let alone stop, at the opera house and the forts are only a photo opportunity from the outside…you don’t have time to go in, even if you were willing to pay for it. 30min at the Souks are to be expected but I would have rather spent more time seeing actual sights (such as the forts). For one person, it’s an affordable introduction to the city. For couples or groups traveling together, I think you‘re better off sharing a taxi to take you to the stops you actually want to see and spend as much time as you want. You won’t be missing much in terms of commentary.
Our tour guide Mr Naseeb was a great guide, very knowledgeable and a born and raised Omani man with a great knowledge of his history. Myself and my 2 sons (9 & 11yrs) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We learnt so much about the beautiful city of Muscat and will be visiting again very soon.
The pickup was on time. All the stops were great. We missed the Opera House from the outside. We could have stopped for photos since the building is beautiful. However the biggest disappointment was the lack of live guide. We only had a pre recorded audio commentary... That is why 3 stars, otherwise would be 4 stars.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the timely pickup and the stops on the tour. The Opera House is indeed a stunning location, and we understand your disappointment in not having the opportunity to stop for photos. We’ll certainly pass this suggestion along to our team to improve future itineraries. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of a live guide. While the pre-recorded audio commentary is designed to provide insightful information. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance the experience for our guests. We hope you’ll consider joining us again for an improved tour in the future. Warm regards, grayline
