Half a day is enough time to see all the scenic spots - Having moved here for work, I haven't had much time to take in the scenery. It was wonderful to explore the scenic spots of Muscat with my guide, Ali. He took the time to share his knowledge about the sites and the daily life in Oman. Really friendly, good spoken English. Would highly recommend the tour and the tour guide.

Highly Recommended Tour in Oman - I had an excellent experience with Star Tours for a private half-day tour in Oman and would highly recommend their services. From the very beginning, the customer service was outstanding. I reached out just one day before the tour, and despite the short notice, they responded quickly and efficiently. The representative was incredibly helpful and patient, taking the time to answer all of my questions and accommodate even my last-minute requests with ease. On the day of the tour, we were guided by Mr. Khalil Al Jabri, who truly made the experience special. He was attentive, friendly, and very professional throughout the tour. As an added touch of hospitality, he even bought us some snacks along the way, which we really appreciated. Overall, the entire experience — from the smooth booking process to the thoughtful and enjoyable tour — exceeded my expectations.

Personalised & Professional - The service from start to finish was exceptional! Karen from the team reached out to reassure me with the booking and then my guide Waleed took over. Waleed is a thoughtful, experienced and professional guide. He was patient and considerate, adopting to my needs in making the most of our time together. I only wished we had more time. Maybe, next time! Highly recommended.

Exceptional Experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman - My experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman has been nothing short of exceptional! His warmth and genuine friendliness made me feel so welcome throughout the entire experience. I’m incredibly grateful for how he shared insights into the culture, pointing out special details that someone new to it might easily overlook. It’s been such a valuable and enriching journey, and I can’t recommend Star Tours Oman and Waleed enough for their incredible talent and compassionate approach. Thank you so much, Waleed!

We can highly recommend the trip, especially if you are interested in the country, the people and the history. - Our driver and guide Amer showed us the Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera, the Mutrah Souq and the Al Alam Palace. Anrr was able to tell us a lot of interesting information and stories about all of the places; it was a really nice and exciting trip. At the very end he drove us to a beautiful viewpoint from where we could see the whole valley.
