We can highly recommend the trip, especially if you are interested in the country, the people and the history. - Our driver and guide Amer showed us the Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera, the Mutrah Souq and the Al Alam Palace. Anrr was able to tell us a lot of interesting information and stories about all of the places; it was a really nice and exciting trip. At the very end he drove us to a beautiful viewpoint from where we could see the whole valley.

Brilliant city tour - Really informative city tour. Our guide was Saif and he spoke amazing English, answered all questions that we had about the sights and Omani culture more generally. We were two female travellers and felt very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend Saif to all my friends and family. He also took us to a brilliant seafood restaurant after the tour, which was so good we went back a second time (Turkish House).

Great city tour - Mr. Khalfan Algusaini was a wonderful tour guide and he gave us a great insight into Oman. The vehicle was very comfortable and I'd highly recommend the half day City Tour. My only top tip is that the tour at the Royal opera House is an additional cost of about 6 OMR per person which can be payable by card.

Amazing Tour! Saif Al Mayyahi showed us 10+ star service. We all have better knowledge of Oman. Best - On March 16, 2023, I had the privilege of taking an Oman City Tour with the amazingly magnificent Saif Al Mayyahi. If you are looking for 10+ star service he is the men for the job. Extremely hospitable and phenomenal customer service. I have so much more knowledge of Oman thanks to Saif. I traveled with my mom and daughter on this trip and if ever we are back in Oman we are going with Star Tours and requesting for Saif.
