Amazing experience with Ahmed! - We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Ahmed, who was fantastic. The tour was absolutely perfect for us. We got to go to Sultan Qabbos mosque, visit the Opera house, see the royal palace and go to the souk and corniche. Overall a fantastic experience and Ahmed was too kind. Just a fantastic human being who was proud to share his country's rich culture and heritage. Highy Recommended... 5 stars!

Top experience - honestly priced - very educational while relaxed - My tour was with Ghusun and I could not have asked for a better guide - professional, punctual, diligent and very informative. We had a relaxed pace, given opportunity to engage with all the attractions, learned a lot (actually kept impressing people we met during the rest of our travels in Oman with the facts, figures and observations that Ghusun shared with us). The car we were driven in was comfortable, clean and spacious. Due to an event in the city that day, we were slightly behind the schedule because of the traffic, Ghusun was generous with his time and energy and we still managed to visit all the sites despite the delay. This was very much appreciated and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the best sights of Muscat in a comfortable and relaxed way.
