Ask for Said as your Muscat tour guide - Our tour of Muscat was simply amazing. Our guide Said Alkiyumi was so knowledgeable and hospitable, and took very good care of us during the tour, he goes out of his way to make you feel at home, I will definitely recommend this tour, but make sure you ask for Said.

Fabulous Tour with a Great Guide! - We had the most amazing tour with our guide, Khalid Alraqadi. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and our first stop was the grand mosque. What an experience that was. Khalid explained everything in great detail and we were blown away by the opulence and detail that went into every aspect of the building. We also went to the Mutteah souq, the fort and the fabulous AlAlam palace, all of which were really interesting. Our final stop was the Opera House, another incredibly opulent and ornate building. Khalid was a mine of information and made our tour so interesting. We also very much enjoyed chatting to him in the car and hearing about family life in Oman, as well as some of the country’s history and plans for the future. We highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Khalid you will have a great experience!

A short trip in muscat - Perfect for a Short Visit! We only had a few hours to explore the city, and this half-day tour was the perfect choice. We saw all the highlights without feeling rushed. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the transportation was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend if you're short on time!

A great way to see Muscat - This was an excellent tour that hits all the main sights of Muscat. Our guide Said was knowledge and considerate, things never felt rushed and we were given time and options on a very hot day. The car blew out a tyre, something that couldn't be accounted for, but they had us on the road again after about 20 minutes. Very professional and very interesting.

Top 4 landmarks - My guide (Said Al kiyumi) was very knowledgeable, polite and conciencous. We hit the landmarks meticulously planned so we were able to pray Asar at the Sultaan Qaboos Masjid and feel the tranquility and peace. I would highly recommend Said, a true representation of the etiquette and hospitable nature of the people of Oman.
