Great Way to See the Highlights of Oman - My friend and I were in Oman for a short time and wanted to see some of the major tourist spots. Our guide, Hawa, picked us up promptly and engaged us in conversation. We toured the mosque and were impressed by the beautiful architecture. Some of the women served refreshments, tea and sweets, and offered to answer any questions we had about Islam. It was a nice way to interact and learn a bit more about an unfamiliar topic. Other stops included the Opera House, we saw the Palace and some old forts. We also stopped at a market, but it was a bit overwhelming. My friend, and I didn’t choose to spend a lot of time there. It was nice to have a female guide. She was our first and only one during our time in the middle east. Hawa was extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions. I would recommend this tour!

Great introduction to Muscat - Our guide was Louay, who was very informative and flexible. The half day tour was definitely a wonderful introduction to the city of Muscat. The Sultan Qaboos grand mosque is definitely a must-visit, with its intricate mosaicwork and also incredible chandelier and hand-woven carpet. Also appreciate that the visit to the souq was more of an informative one of their national attire, with fabrics of the dishdasha and also the assa (stick for formal occasions). We also had a glimpse of old Muscat, separated from the rest of Muscat with coastal mountains and it was insightful to see how the mountains were a natural protective border to the city. Even though the Royal Opera House wasn't open during our stop, we made a quick stop to appreciate the elegance of the architecture. Was also treated to cheesy Omani bread and sweet Karak tea which was a nice treat. Would recommend this tour for first timers to Muscat!

Full of passion, very knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. Thanks to him, we got to see the city from a whole new perspective. The organisation was flawless, the route was interesting, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Muscat!

Amazing experience in Muscat! - I had an absolutely amazing experience with my guide Zaher during my trip to Muscat. From start to finish, he was exceptional. His in - depth knowledge of the city was truly impressive, and he provided detailed explanations about every place we visited, making the tour not only enjoyable but also incredibly informative. The highlight of the tour was when he took us to sample local delicacies. It was such a treat to explore the local cuisine, and the gesture of treating us to delicious Omani dates and coffee was beyond generous and made the whole experience even more memorable. I couldn't have asked for a better guide, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Muscat!

Fascinating tour of Muscat - full of colours, tastes and fragrances - We learned so much! As 'foodies' we loved visiting the Mutrah markets, and seeing the fresh fish and other produce. We had the opportunity to taste delicious coffee and sweets, as well as Omani bread and tea. We wandered through the ancient souk, fragrant with frankincense. As it was Friday, the Grand Mosque was closed, but our wonderful guide, Loay, took us to the Royal Opera House instead. Amazing complex of buildings! Thank you so much Loay and Oman Tours - an amazing tour!

Great tour with Zaher! - Wonderful tour with Zaher. We learned lots about Oman and its people from him as well as see all the key sites. He was a very kind and knowledgeable guide and safe driver. The Grand Mosque is stunning and the highlight of the tour. Dates from Zaher’s farm, coffee and Omani bread were a treat. A recommended tour for a first visit and a half day was enough to see everything we wanted to do. We had a great morning, thank you Zaher!!

Awesome introduction to Muscat and its main sites in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. - This tour was a great introduction to Muscat and the beauty it has to offer. Our guide, Loy (Hope that is spelt right 🤔) was amazing! On time, very flexible, such a lovely guy, and who felt like a friend immediately . He awed us with his depth of knowledge of not just Muscat but his in-depth knowledge and philosophy of Islam. We travelled as 2 couples, and highly recommend this tour.
