The trip has been excellent and part of it is out of 10 has my guide Issam. What started as a guide ended in a good friend. And that’s because Issam is a born communicator, an excellent guide and knowledgeable of his country, a fascinating conversationalist, a nice guy with stubborn jokes but always arouse a smile. From the first moment, while still in Spain, Issam was worrying about my trip and my stay and my activities. Where he didn't come, he offered me guides to his confidence. And he always got it right. Every day of the trip I have received a call or wassap taking an interest in my tour and, of course, excursions directly with him have been a fine thing. He speaks 12 languages. Yes, it is. ¡12! And Spanish to perfection. Not only does he know the whole country and its riches and secrets and its inhabitants, but the whole country knows him. They recognize him for his language videos on their social networks. He's a super honest guy. The first day, unscheduled, he went to my hotel to take me for a first walk in Muscat and invite me to a Karrak Shay. I fell in love with that tea so characteristic of Oman. I recommend anyone who wants their experience in this beautiful country to be different to contact Issam. This is his job, yes, but he will never take a euro out of you that is not necessary. Honest, loyal and friendly.
Oman was simply extraordinary، every day was a unique adventure, between breathtaking landscapes, golden desert, majestic mountains and a crystal clear sea that leaves you speechless. I found authentic culture, welcoming and rich in traditions. Omanis are kind, hospitable. Each stage of the trip gave me different emotions, from the dunes of Wahiba Sands to the historical charm of Nizwa, to the tranquility of the oases and wadi.Thank you so much
Thank you, Issam. You have shown us not only the city but also local corners and customs. Experience. highly recommended
We spent a great day tour with Ali in Muscat. It was all very well organized. Ali is a very friendly and polite guide who has enthusiastically brought us closer to his home. After we visited Muscat's attractions, he took us to a very good restaurant and afterwards there was even time for a beach visit. We can recommend the day tour in Muscat with Ali and Issam without hesitation!
We chose Issam because he speaks German and our two children learned so much about Muscat. I can't believe he speaks 12 languages! He speaks fluent German! Really great! The day was a lot of fun for us! Especially my two children were very enthusiastic about the city of Muscat and about Issam! Thank you so much for this great hospitality!
It was a wonderful experience. Oman managed to give us wonderful landscapes. We then had a special guide, Issam who with his perfect Italian made us get into the heart of every single city and emotion.
A journey that spoke to the heart, between enchanted landscapes and authentic culture. Thanks to Issam, our local guide, we experienced unique and profound emotions. His expertise and smile made this trip unforgettable. Oman welcomed us with beauty, history and human warmth. Every place, every story, every gesture made us feel part of a thousand-year history. A special journey that is worth experiencing, to whose completeness Issam was instrumental. We brought home much more than photographs: we cherish emotions and precious memories.
The tour was interesting and gave us a fairly complete view of the country, its culture and traditions, thanks above all to our guide Issam, a very nice and prepared Omani boy who with his courtesy and helpfulness was fundamental for the success of the trip.
The guide Issam proved to be very prepared and attentive to the needs of the group. We visited everything that was planned without haste and with many detailed and useful explanations. There were some funny moments and everyone was happy. Thank you!!
We took a private tour for 9 pax and we have visited most of the places. The Great Mosque, with a lot of explanations inside and outside, the Royal Opera House, the Souk, the fortress, climbing up to the top, and the Sultan’s palace just outside for pictures. Everything has been perfect with Isaam, our guide in soanish language. He has been so kind and fun, making our day in Muscat very enjoyable and remarkable! Thank you Isaam!
