Great half-day Muscat city tour 😊 - With our guide Faisal in his Land Cruiser we had a super private tour. He told us a lot about country and people and entertained us great. We had felt the good 4 hours very comfortable. It was an excellent trip for us. Thanks again to Faisal and STAR Tours Oman 😊

Great tour - Our guide, Waleed, was excellent. Knowledgeable and willing to tailor our tour to the things we wanted to see. In fact, the Grand Mosque was closed the day of our tour, so he took us there the next day before our tour outside the city, so that we could see the inside of the gorgeous mosque. Waleed speaks softly. So if anyone in your group has hearing issues, they might want to make other plans.

Muscat highlights in an afternoon - Mr Khalil Albrajij was a wonderful host and driver. So knowledgeable about Muscat and its history. The tea and Omani bread was something we had not tried before and was a real treat. It was Sunday afternoon so the mosque was closed but I think worth going back to. The opera house also interesting. The standout building was the palace in old muscat- beautiful. Thanks for your hospitality Khalil - much appreciated

A perfect tour with a patient and helpful guide - A perfect tour . Our guide Khalil Alijabri made sure we were well informed about Muskat and Omani culture . Comfortable cool car with lots of water . Khalil was very patient and helpful while we bargained for local treasures at muttrah souq . Doing a late afternoon evening tour allowed us to walk around in the cooler temperatures . Would thoroughly recommend Khalil and this tour .

Fun half day tour of Muscat - Mohammed is an expert city guide. I felt really special throughout the half day tour. The stop for some traditional food was an added bonus. Thanks very much for giving me a lovely insight into Muscat.

Love the tour and the city!! - Great tour to see Muscat. We were very impressed by this city and its overall vibe in our short stay in Muscat. Our tour guide Hamood was very knowledgeable and very patient with us with all of our questions. We were picked up at the hotel and back to hotel. Went around to see the Grand Mosque, opera house, stopped by at a very good restaurant as per our request and the Souk. Recommend this tour and would love to come back and visit this city again hopefully in near future!
