Best Tour in Oman - highly recommend! - I highly recommend Sunshine Tour Oman! I want to specifically thank my guide, Said Al kiyumi who went above and beyond to make my full day tour in Oman special. He told me all about Oman’s history and the historical places we visited like Nizwa Fort, 3 Village Walk, Birat Al Mouz Old Village, and Irrigation System of Al Kattmyn. He was also knowledgeable and funny and took amazing photos. He also got me a delicious fresh juice by Nizwa Fort and cold water when I was a bit overheated from walking around in the sun. This is one of the best tours I have done and it is a must when visiting Oman. 10/10! Thank you, Said and Sunshine Tour Oman!

Good tour for traveller who has limited time in Oman - I took day tour from Muscat to Nizwa and Jabel Shams. The tour is well coordinated and managed by the tour guide. Everything is smooth including pick up confirmation message day before, his explanation during Nizwa fort/soup visit and lunch.
I recommend to use the tour if you don’t have enough time in Oman but want to visit major sightseeing place within limited time.

Unforgettable Private Tour with Oman Sunshine Tours - During our trip to Oman, my husband and I booked a private tour with Oman Sunshine Tours, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Amer, a native Omani, was knowledgeable and welcoming. We started by exploring the historic 17th-century Nizwa Fort, where Amer shared fascinating insights about Omani history. Next, we ventured to Jebel Shams in a 4x4 vehicle, enjoying breathtaking views from the mountain’s viewpoint. The day ended with a visit to Al Hamra, where we walked through its old quarter, marveling at beautifully preserved traditional buildings. The tour was seamless and immersive, thanks to Amer’s professionalism. We highly recommend Oman Sunshine Tours for a personalized and memorable experience.

Awesome day tour from Muscat - The tour was absolutely fantastic. The flexibility of the company / guide (Ahmed) in picking me up from the airport and doing the tour before dropping me off at the hotel was greatly appreciated in maximising my time in Oman. They didn't say no to any request.
Ahmed, what can I say, other than what a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, experienced, flexible, accommodating, proud of his Omani background, and really humble are only a few words to describe him. He made the tour special. We chatted away on many topics and he gave a insight not only onto the places we visited but also into Omani culture and history.
I highly recommend the tour, Ahmed as a tour guide and the tour company itself.
