Breathtaking experience! - Marvelous experience! Could not request for anything more. We have started our tour at Nizwa, visiting the souq and the fort and castle. Words cannot make justice of it. Afterwards, our guide Loay drove to an amazing traditional omani restaurant where they have delight us with their food. Lastly we ended up at Barakat Al Mouz that was a typical village with scenic surroundings of banana farms. Once again it left us speecheless with their grandiosity. Thank you so much Loay for this amazing and one-of-a-kind experience and truly reccomend everyone to book with him, you will thank me later!

A wonderful day trip to Nizwa - We took this tour on our last day in Oman and I'm very glad we did. Nizwa is beautiful and loaded with history, and Hisham was a wonderful guide. He has excellent knowledge of the history of the place, but was also subtly aware of our preferences and managed to make it a fun experience, despite a very hot day. The fort, the souq, the date market and the date palm plantation were the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

The greatest local tour guides that feel like friends first - Hisham and Luoy took me on this tour of Nizwa and it was unbelievably enjoyable. I came to Oman with no plans, and booked this while here. They picked me up from my hotel, drove to Nizwa, took me to local breakfast spots, took me around old Nizwa, the fort, then we had a brilliant local lunch experience, and I requested an optional extra which was to go to the green mountain on the way home. The day was excellent, and one of the highlights of my entire trip. Hisham and Luoy make you feel apart of the brilliant culture of Oman, which is very relaxing. I did other smaller tours in Oman and this was on another level.

An amazing trip! - The trip was incredible! The fort was super cool and the tour was very adaptable and personalised so we could cater it to our needs and go later in the day and go to the markets! We had an amazing lunch in a local restaraunt and I could not reccomend this tour enough! I needed to buy some western female hygiene products during the trip and our guide helped so much stopping at the mall and waiting for me to find them a touch of kindness and local hospitality.

Excellent local guide! - Our day tour of Nizwa was excellent! Hisham was a great guide, having a local, family run tour guide business was the best choice get to know Oman. We got picked up at the hotel, spent a full day exploring Oman, starting at the Falaj Al Khatmeen, admiring the ingenious, ancient water delivery system. Then we went on to Nizwa, exploring the Souk & castle/ fort. Lastly, we visited the stunning, brand new & state of the art “Oman across the Ages” museum, which was a huge highlight. We loved every minute we got to spend in Oman, large part thanks to Hisham, Loay and their wonderful, friendly family business!

Thank you Loay for this tour - Loay Nizwa tour marked a splendid beginning to my Omani adventure. The personalized touch began well before the tour itself, as Loay adjusted his plans to accommodate my visit to Nizwa. Our exploration included a leisurely stroll through the vibrant goat market, indulging in dates and local sweets, and absorbing the rich tapestry of local history and culture. Loay warm hospitality left a lasting impression. Post-tour, he generously shared a range of recommendations for both Nizwa and Muscat, enhancing my overall experience. Grateful for the delightful moments and thoughtful suggestions – thank you!
