Amazing tour - I would recommend Gidoman Tours for all excursions in Oman. I joined the Nizwa and Jebel Shams tour and had an amazing time. Our tour guide Abdullah was very informative and friendly. We saw the historic city of Nizwa and then stopped over many sites in Jebel Shams. Overall, it was a very enjoyable day. I recommend 100%

Fantastic single day tour ! - What an amazing trip ! Me and my partner had such a great day with Saeed as our guide . He did such a wonderful job at telling us about his country and culture , as well as making sure we travelled comfortably in his 4x4 despite the heat outside and got to make the most of the places we visited! From Nizwa Souk to the Al Hamra old village , the tour explored some very interesting spots. The provided lunch was great with good choice for vegetarian and meat eaters alike! The canyon at the end was a fantastic finish to the day , with the most amazing views ! The tour made our stay in Oman that much more enjoyable, thank you !

Once in a lifetime - Great day out of the city. Salem was our guide and he was so patient and kind and communication with GidOman was awesome from the beginning. Jebel Shams and Nizwa just can't be missed. Don't even think twice.

A wonderful day in Oman - We had the most amazing day with Ali today. He was kind, friendly, incredibly knowledgable and so patient with all of our questions. He was on time to collect us, the car was spacious and the air conditioning most welcome. The lunch was delicious and the trip through the souk and to the fort so interesting. I could not fault the trip at all. I would not hesitate to recommend this company especially if you are fortunate enough to have Ali as your guide.

Great trip to mountains - The excursion to the city of Nizwa and the Grand Canyon mountains was truly fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The guide was amazing - knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a great deal about the history of Oman and its former capital. This journey provided me with valuable insights and a deeper appreciation for this remarkable country. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

Wonderful and unforgettable experience - Our two guides were wonderful. We were a group of 8 people and the guides picked us up from our accommodation at 8am. Our two guides were courteous, funny, informative and couldn't have been more helpful. Both guides spoke very good English. They took us to Nizwa (Souq and fortress), Wadi Ghul and Jebel Shams. The souq of Nizwa is much more interesting and authentic than the souq in Muttrah. The entrance to the fortress in Nizwa, water and lunch was provided. During our conversations with the tour guides, we learnt a lot about the history, economy, culture and food of Oman. I highly recommend this tour. An unforgettable experience not to be missed!

Tour organization is A MESS! - The tour company is EXTREMELY disorganized. There was no communication with the tour company. I wrote to them twice with no response and had to escalate to Viator just to have them contact me. Then the tour was 12 hours instead of the billed 8 hours. I missed things that I planned to do in the evening because of this. I will say my actual guide was very, very nice and drove very well, but the whole lead up to the tour was A MESS! I'm a travel agent and I would NEVER book my clients on this tour.
