Lovely day with a helpful and friendly guide - I had a lovely day with Khalid. We visited the Nizwa souq and Nizwa fort. Both were very interesting and I was able to buy a few gifts with the help of Khalid. The fort was very interesting but as it was summer it was also very hot! Khalid then suggested we drive to the AlJabal Alakhdr mountains as it is cooler there and this was a great idea! The views were lovely and it much much cooler. We finished with Barkat Almouz (old village) that has the incredible reticulation channels - so wonderful to see. Car was lovely and comfortable and air conditioning good. Felt very safe as a solo woman traveller. Thanks for a lovely day Khalid!

I highly recommend this company Star Tours Oman - I highly recommend this company Star Tours Oman they are very responsible and they have a good staff, And respectful guide Mr. Ahmed. Thank You and I will come back again.

Wonderful Experience! - This was a wonderful day trip from Muscat! I specifically wanted to go to the Rose fields and see how traditional rose water was made, and this tour made it personalized and did so. My guide for the day was phenomenal and was kind to have me try local foods and explain the origin. He knew the history of the Nizwa Fort and the Jebel Akhdar region very well which made the experience enriching. Great, safe, clean and reliable car. I would highly recommend doing this day trip!

Nizwa Souq, Fort and Green Mountain - We had a wonderful day!! Amer was the best tour guide. Lots of interesting new things to taste at the market. The Fort was interesting and beautiful. To finish the tour we visited the Green Mountain! The view was spectacular and we had an amazing lunch. Thank you! 🙏🏼

After this day I'm definitely coming back to Oman - Amer arrived earlier, which was very good for me because I was eager to start the trip already. When I travel, I like to learn about the culture and history of the place I'm visiting and he offered me exactly that. He knows a lot about the geography, history, and culture of Oman, so we had a lot to talk about during the trip. We started in Muskat and went to Nizwa first. There he came with me throughout the souq where he explained the different customs regarding trade of livestock (I have to participate in the souq on Friday morning now) and I particularly found the Date souq interesting, where I learned a lot about the different varieties. I then managed to take some photos among the pottery and admire the silver work. The Fort is stunning, and actually seeing a citadel built with trap doors was fascinating. I thought those were only in the movies. We then went to Al Jabal Al Akhdar, the Green Mountain, but first, we stopped to admire the ancient irrigation system, which is still in use today and is a Unesco heritage site. The view from up the mountain is breathtaking. You can see the terraced landscape where locals grow roses. Amer's personality is very warm and pleasant and when I come back I'll definitely book a trip with him.

Amazing experience with Oman Star Tours and Khalid! - We had a very short time in Muscat and arranged - on very short notice - a one day tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar with Oman Star Tours. The manager is quick to respond and was very flexible - he also moved things around just so we could see the Grand Mosque in Muscat (not part of the tour), as it would have been closed the next day, which was a Friday. The tour guide we were assigned, Khalid, is just a lovely human! He was very knowledgeable and a lovely man to chat to. He was calm, patient, and very gentle in his demeanour. We had a very fun time exploring the Nizwa Souq with Khalid - and even tasted his wife’s favourite halwa in Oman! Nizwa castle and fort were both a lot of fun, and you learn a lot about Oman from Nizwa’s history. The sightseeing would have been so much less fun without Khalid leading the way and explaining various facts - he even bought us Omani bread (a traditional and delicious snack) in Nizwa :-) the views from Jebel Akhdar are stunning and we got to explore village irrigation systems and old villages too. We we’re impressed with how much was packed in a short day and would highly highly recommend this company. The prices are also very reasonable for what you get (including level of service) and they are flexible with payment method too. We’ll come back to Oman - and we won’t hesitate to use Oman Star Tours again to see more of this lovely country!

Full day trip from Muscat to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar - The Jebel Akhdar and Nizwa tour was a true marvel, offering a rich tapestry of places highlighted in our itinerary for a full-day adventure. It was an absolute gem of a trip, and I can confidently say it was the best experience. Gratitude for this remarkable journey.

Deserts and green hills - We had a great and emotional experience with a super guide and driver - until now the best of our Oman trip!

Enchanting Nizwa Tour & A Journey through History and Local life - Our choice to embark on the Nizwa tour was nothing short of spectacular. We explored the historic fort, immersed ourselves in the vibrant souq, strolled through the charming Al Hamra, and embarked on the unforgettable Misfat Al Arbiyeen journey. In these ancient villages, we delved deep into the local way of life, surrounded by lush palm tree plantations.
