A very interesting cultural and visual history of Nizwa and Jabbal Akhdar Oman . - We had a most enjoyable and informative tour to Nizwa and jabbal Akhdar mountains. Our guide Aziz was very informative and very obliging , answering all our questions and requests . The Nizwa fort and castle are beautiful structures with a very rich and interesting history. We learnt a lot about the Imams and rulers of Oman from the early 600’s to present day and had a very good insight into what life was like in the time when the Imams ruled and lived in the castle . The souk was lovely and we enjoyed the free tasting at the food market . The drive up the Jabbal Akhdar , green mountain , was well worth the winding road as the view of the villages and plantations below was spectacular. The day ended with a visit to the irrigation system and the ancient village . All in all a very interesting day with a very good guide and excellent driver . Thank you sunshine tours Oman .

The eighth wonder of the world - Amazing trip. The driver called me 24 hours before to confirm. He was informative, polite, and welcoming. My request is when I come back, to have the same tour guide,Mr. Khalid AlRaqadi.

Super trip with Sunshine Tours and our 5-star guide Hamood - A great excursion with Sunshine Tours and our 5-star guide Hamood, who accompanied us on two days (Wadi Shab, Nizwa/Jebel Akhdar). Can only recommend Hamood and Sunshine Tours. Good organization, always safe travel over long distances, a lot of knowledge about the country and people, and a very pleasant, relaxed communication with our guide.

Amazing excellent experience with said and sunshine - Said was amazing. A lot of experience and efficient guide. He took us to all the places and explained in detail about everything. The car was excellent and said attention to minute details was noteworthy. He also took care of my younger way while climbing and coming down and was not in a hurry at any place. A nice person to be with, enjoyed every moment

Unforgettable trip with great history learning and breath taking view. - 1. Great communication - private guide confirms time and pick up location the day before.
2. The tour guide is punctual on time and is very welcoming.
3. The tour guide is very knowledgable and accommodated our various requests.
4. I would recommended this tour. It is always stressful when you visit a country you have never been before. However, they made this trip very enjoyable and effortless.

An incredible tour of Nizwa and Aljebel Alakhdar was an exceptional guide. - The trip was exceptional due equally to Oman’s amazing history and culture and our guide Said Al Kiyumi’s knowledge of it. He was confident enough not inundate us with too much information. He explained a lot without over explaining. Thank you
