Fantastic tour - This was such an amazing trip thank you to Mohammed who is a truly great guide! He was considerate, funny and shared some fantastic insights. The tour felt very insightful and not too rushed at all. We had time to soak all the sights in and learn about Omani culture. 100% recommend

Fantastic tour with a fantastic tour guide! - This tour was very well managed by the lovely Mohammed Aldighaishi who was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. It was wonderful to get to know more about Omani culture and traditions and how better to do that than through an native Omani?! The tour highlight was the Grand Mosque for me which was truly spectacular. We had a lovely tour group from different parts of the world - we all got on well. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oman for the first time. You would be lucky to have Mohammed as your guide :-)

Fantastic city tour - Be prepared for a little extra time for this tour than advertised by Viatour - our guide Mohammed Aldoghaishi was superb. Great knowledge at all of the stops. Easy to understand and very friendly and provided additional useful advice to make the best of my time in Oman. Very flexible in terms of dropping people off at the end of the tour. All in all a fantastic day out - thanks Mohammed
