Wow, what a day....... - An incredible experience, truely memorable with plenty of time to swim in the natural river. The dune bashing just as adventurous and had time to look at the camels.

Worth the ride ! - That was a perfect day with my guide Hossein. Smooth driving to the Wahiba Sands, while enjoying karak on the way. Then having fun with on the dunes with a 4WD or riding a camel. Going ahead to the Wadi Bani Khalid and praying to be lucky for being there on a day with no other turists at all (I am blessed)!

Value for money - Great experience, perfect organisation, very punctual start (arrival of the guide 15 min. before departure time), very private and personal tour, our guide (Tarek) was great. We can strongly recommend Mark Tours!

Mark Tours - the best in Oman - Middle East is our favorite holiday destination and most of the time we opt for Oman. Having been travelling to Oman for approx 15 years now, I can honestly say you are in very safe hands with Mark Tours. In the early days we used a different company and had some issues with couple of picks up, not turning up for the airport transfer etc and I wasn't happy how it was handled, but luckily I then found Mark Tours and have never had any issues since. I book my accommodation (mostly staying at Shangri-La), airport transfers and excursions with Mark Tours. We have done the city tours incl mosque visit, dolphin watching, a night in the desert, the mountains of Jebel Akhdar etc. All booked with a guide from Mark. We have visited with groups of friends as well as a family with teens and Mark Tours have always been able to suggest appropriate activities etc. All their guides have been very polite, with a good sense and really know the country.

The tourguide was a good... - The tourguide was a good driver, but not special polite. We have had better and more friendly tourguides on our trips to Oman.

Superb private driver service but poor knowledge about the history and all other sights - We did 2 day private tour. Communication with agency was ok, guide very friendly but service under expectations - if I would rate private driver service then I would give 5 but in terms of guide knowledge then it was really poor.
