Nizwa private tour with Ahmed. - The itinerary was great and Ahmed was such a wonderful guide. We saw and learnt so much, not just about the area we visited but also about Omani people and culture because Ahmed was warm, friendly and engaging. He was also a great driver. We thoroughly recommend this tour ! Thank you !

Absolutely amazing guide & company - All day trip, pick up & drop off at hotel. Adjusted the tour to accommodate I was staying in Nizwa vs Muscat. New, clean comfortable car, great driving, overall enjoyable experience specifically Hamood, the guide. Very pleasant, friendly and accommodating.
But also with Mohamed, the owner adjusting for the custom pick up location and Analiza handling all the planning & booking details. Exceptional experience all around. I would work with them again when I return and would highly recommend to family & friends.

A Fascinating Visit to Nizwa Fort and Souk with an Insightful Guide - This visit was an excellent experience, especially the time spent at Nizwa Fort and its souk, which was one of the highlights of our stay in Oman. The atmosphere of the souk, the architecture of the fort and the authenticity of the place made this visit both fascinating and enjoyable.
What truly made the difference was our guide, Mr Badar Alhasni. He shared a great deal of knowledge with us and took the time to explain many aspects of Omani culture, traditions and history. His explanations were clear, interesting and always adapted to our curiosity, which made the visit very enriching.
We especially appreciated the moments of discussion and exchange with him where he helped us better understand daily life in Oman, local customs and the historical importance of Nizwa. His approach was friendly, engaging and never rushed, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for the whole family.
This visit was both informative and enjoyable, combining cultural discovery with genuine human interaction. We highly recommend this experience, especially with such a knowledgeable and attentive guide.

Great city tour with a good mix of history, shopping and sightseeing - A well planned fort that gives you a glimpse into the kind of lives Omani royalty used to live. Also got to try and shop for halwa and dates at pretty fair prices, thanks to Hamood. He took us to the right shops and also gave us a detailed tour of the entire place and made sure he went at the pace of our very large and rather slow group. Really appreciate him!

Nizwa fort- Day 3 - The entrance fee does feel slightly on the higher side, but walking through the fort and the Imam’s residence was still enjoyable. What truly made the visit meaningful was the guided history walk by our tour guide, Hamood bhai—without it, the place might have felt quite ordinary. His storytelling added depth and context to the experience. The nearby souk is perfect for picking up local souvenirs, from Omani halwa to an endless selection of dates. The ancient irrigation system at Birkat Al Mouz was another highlight and definitely worth seeing

Nizwa ! - The entry fees could feel a bit on the higher end but exploring the fort and the Imam's house was a good experience. If not for the history walk by our tour guide, Hamood bhai, the place would have felt forgettable. The souk is a great place to buy souvenirs like Omani halwa and about a thousand different types of dates. The irrigation system at Birkat al Mouz was also interesting.
