Perfect introduction to Muscat! - We had a wonderful tour with an excellent guide - Said Al kiyumi. We learned all about the history and culture of this beautiful city with the mountains and the sea vistas. The Mosque is amazing and we wish we could enjoy a concert in the Royal Opera House. Also, don’t miss the traditional Omani bread with honey and the Kayak tea (reminded us a little of hot chocolate). Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for an engaging and well-organized experience!

Fabulous half day city tour in Muscat with Musab 😊 - We had a fabulous morning with our guide Musab! He was prompt to pick us up in a lovely car with bottles of cold water. Very friendly and chatty, telling us all about life in Oman and the history of the country. Very knowledgeable and informative about all the sights we went to. Helped us get some bargains in the Souk! We didn’t feel rushed at all and Musab made sure we were happy and comfortable the whole time. All in all a great start to our holiday in Oman. Thank you Musab 🙏🏻 Highly recommend. 5⭐️

Fantastic Tour in Muscat - My private tour with Said Al kiyumi was fantastic! I was not sure what to expect as this is the first solo tour I’ve taken. I have to say that in all my tours taken in the Middle East, this one was the best. Said is extremely knowledgeable and took time to make sure all my questions were answered before moving on. He also helped with taking photos that captured the experience. Said is a fantastic tour guide and this was an amazing city tour highlighting the best things to see in Muscat Will be booking with them again on my next visit to Muscat.

Great Introduction to Muscat - This tour was a great introduction for us to Muscat, taking in all of the major sights. Our driver/guide Faisal was fantastic providing us with continual insights to the places we were going to and Omani culture. Due to road closures as the Ironman was taking place, he managed to navigate around these with ease and ensured we didn't miss any of the sights of interest. We had plenty of photo opportunities and also time to get out and walk around. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. As we headed back to our hotel, Faisal took us to a local cafe to share traditional Omani bread with Karak tea. A great end to an enjoyable and informative half day. Shukran Faisal.
