Muscat city trip thru’ trip advisor - The tour operator was prompt and covered all important places to visit in Muscat. The guide is friendly, good at English and explained in detail throughout. Finally the company of 10 from different countries is exciting and we all enjoyed the trip.

Great way to see the city on a short stopover - A great way to discover the city. Omar our guide was excellent. Omani people are very kind hearted. To make the tour 5 stars from my perspective - adding to visit a beach and having a coffee/tea at a locals’ stand, rather than at the museum cafe, which was already very busy with other tourists.

Highly recommended for first time visitors, with one caveat - Excellent tour, well paced and benefitting from a helpful and courteous guide Our only observation (which was matched by others on our tour) was that the Souk experience should be adjusted. Unlike the relaxed and friendly Souks in Doha and Nizwa, the one in Muscat contains volumes of pushy, intimidating traders - and the first stalls are full of less desirable plastic goods Our suggestion is that the tour guide should escort us through the Souk, deter the more assertive traders and point out the more interesting stalls. There should then be a short period afterwards in which we have the option to return on our own to make purchases or wander the Corniche
