Love Oman! - What a great trip! Our guide Said was very good-knowledgeable, helpful, considerate and generous. Certainly knew the areas and locales like the back of his hand and took us to some great spots. If you get the chance, grab a trip with Sun Tours and soak up the ambience of Oman. 10/10

Culture, history and unforgettable moments in Oman - We started the day at the impressive Nizwa Fortress before strolling through the lively souq in Oman’s former capital. Try dates and the famous dessert halwa! After a delicious Omani lunch, we continued to Al Hambra, one of the country’s oldest villages, where history truly comes alive.
Spending the night in the mountains with a breathtaking panorama … an experience me and my students will never forget!
Everything was perfectly organized and full of warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to combine culture, history and authentic encounters in Oman.

Great - Great day trip with our guide Said Al Kiyumi. Really knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, all of which were interesting, breathtaking or a combination of the two. The drive itself is comfortable and you have time to nap if you need it :)
Really good, strong recommend.

Best Guide and Tour for Nizwa and Jebel Shams - We have had the greatest time travelling with Mr Said Al Kiyumi. His knowledge of Omani history and his sense of humour have made him one of the most animated and engaging guide we could ask for. He’s also super attentive and always going the extra mile to show us interesting parts of Nizwa and never fails to stop en route to Jebel Shams whenever we noticed something interesting on the road. This has made the trip highly memorable for first timers like us in Oman. Mr Said is akin to travelling with a good friend who’s just really good at introducing you to his home country for the first time. We really recommend him and the tour group. Hats off to their consideration to guests and their knowledge of Oman.
