Thoroughly recommended half day tour of Muscat's highlights - A fabulous half day tour of the highlights of Muscat, with time to stop, walk around and take some photos of this beautiful place.
My guide was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and helpful, pointing out things I would have missed, and giving me lots of background information.
Door to door service from my hotel and I'm so pleased to have done this tour - I would have missed so much. Thank you.

A great trip - It was a very well organised trip that we booked last minute. Our guide Hassan was very informative and made it a very pleasant way to see a lot of things in a comfortable way.
We would recommend it as a very good way to see these sights in a timescale that did not appear rushed and have a local guide who gave good insight into Omani culture and was happy to answer questions.

A wonderful way to spend the day! - My wife and I did a day trip from the mountain of Jabal Akhdar to Muscat.
Along the way we stopped at various scenic and historical locations, learning a lot along the way, and getting an appreciation for the amazing people and culture of Oman.
Our guide Ghassan was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and a wonderful human being. What makes a really big difference when you’re spending all day with a guide is being able to get a deep connection, and Ghassan made us feel like family that he was taking care of.
Thank you Ghassan for an amazing day!

Great tour and guide - Great tour guide and very nice itinerary . The guide showed me a lot for such a short time , this should be a SOLO ACTIVITY for your day , if combined with other one you will miss a lot . Distances are longer than spected.

Muscat Beautiful Oman - A great experience visited historical areas and the beautiful mosques of Oman and its rich history. Also the Soul in Mutrah. My guide Ghassan a local Omani had a wealth of knowledge and spent so much time showing me the sites. Great service and his love for his country shows how proud the people are of this great nation. I highly recommend booking this tour and Ghassan the best tour guide I have ever met.

Absolute hospitality - Our guide kassim from fanja tours is a very good and kind person, he made us experience the hospitality of Omani people
He took us around half a full day to the most iconic places and made us taste the local products (carrot tea, Omani bread and the haiwa)
Highly recommended
Thanks again 😊
