Amazing full day tour with Amer - I don’t think I’ve ever written a TripAdvisor review, but had to this time because our tour with Amer was fantastic. He messaged us the night before confirming the plans and offered his suggestions to adjust the timing and the route which was very helpful. He’s very knowledgeable, open and warm, and his English is very very good. During the tour, we shared our interests and he adjusted our itinerary on the spot, knew all the spots and their history. It was an incredible tour and I couldn’t recommend Amer more for adventuring around Oman!

Good times at Nizwa and Jebel Shams - This tour was the perfect blend of everything we wanted to see in 1 day: Nizwa, Jebel Shams and a typical Omani village. Our tour guide, Said Al Kiyumi, was lovely. He gave us plenty of time for everything be it shopping at the souq, taking pictures at Nizwa Fort or admiring the views at Jebel Shams. Thank you again, Said, for the good times!

Tours in Oman - First time travelling to Oman with my parents. We booked two tours (Full day tour in Muscat and Full Day in Nizwa fort/souq and jebel shams) I was a little apprehensive but Mohammed our guide was really reassuring looked after my parents as his own. We learnt so much of Oman from him, we did not know how beautiful and historical Oman was. I would recommend Mohammed as a tour guide and would recommend this company for tours. In addition to Mohammed I would like to thank team at Oman landscape (Analiza) for all your help and guidance on the trips. Thank you for making our first visit in Oman amazing!!!!

Great trip to Nizwa fort and mountains - The Nizwa fort was very interesting to see as well as local souqs (markets). We had a private tour with Ameer who was very knowledgeable about Oman history and recommended many practical things, places to see and also view spots for taking pictures.
We changed the second part of the trip to Green Mountains and the views of Jebel Akhdar were amazing.
We can highly recommend Ameer to guide you as his friendly attitude was really exceptional. A private tour was a good choice as we could take our time as a family according our own pace and abilities. PS: bonus with our guide Ameer - he brought hot homemade coffee and dates with tahini and herbal king tea. This trip is highly recommended!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever visited - We highly recommend a tour with Khalid! We had very little time in Oman and he gave us a wonderful glimpse into this country's history, heritage and culture. Despite the itinerary being fairly packed, Khalid was patient and didn't rush us once - instead he prioritised the most important locations (Nizwa and Jebel Shams). He was kind, respectful and very knowledgeable. His driving was safe and he was clearly experienced with the zig-zaggy roads leading up to the breath-taking viewpoint on Jebel Shams.

Must-see tour! - Beautiful tour departing from Muscat to visit two unmissable pearls of Oman, namely the beautiful Nizwa Fort and the Jebel Shams Canyon (truly impressive its depth). The tour also includes a stop at the interesting town of Misfah, located in the middle of a palm forest surrounded by mountains. Special thanks to our talented driver and guide Ali, who accompanied us throughout the tour and provided detailed information on the places visited. I give it 4 stars and not 5 because I consider the cost of the tour too high for what it offers.
