Muscat in a nutshell - Mohammed Al Ghatrifi came promptly to pick me up and brought me to some of the most amazing areas of the city. I had a nice insight of culture history and architecture, tried local sweets and coffee and had a nice stroll in the souq. Frankincence tee also found together with some examples if unique traditions. In a couple of hours everything was covered without being rushed or tiresome. Really appreciated.

Beautiful Oman - The tour was amazing, highly recommend. There is so much to see if Muscat, and thanks to my guide, Mohammed Al Ghatrifi, I got to try Omani ragag for breakfast which was so good. Can’t wait to come back to Oman and see more! Thank you

A great way to see this amazing city - Hisham was my guide for today and he was brilliant! The tour was well organised and the aircon in the car was much appreciated in this heat. Hisham didn't shy away from any of my questions and made sure I got the most out of each stop of the tour. What an amazing way to spend the day exploring this beautiful city! Thankyou!

Thoroughly recommended half day tour of Muscat's highlights - A fabulous half day tour of the highlights of Muscat, with time to stop, walk around and take some photos of this beautiful place.
My guide was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and helpful, pointing out things I would have missed, and giving me lots of background information.
Door to door service from my hotel and I'm so pleased to have done this tour - I would have missed so much. Thank you.

A great trip - It was a very well organised trip that we booked last minute. Our guide Hassan was very informative and made it a very pleasant way to see a lot of things in a comfortable way.
We would recommend it as a very good way to see these sights in a timescale that did not appear rushed and have a local guide who gave good insight into Omani culture and was happy to answer questions.

A wonderful way to spend the day! - My wife and I did a day trip from the mountain of Jabal Akhdar to Muscat.
Along the way we stopped at various scenic and historical locations, learning a lot along the way, and getting an appreciation for the amazing people and culture of Oman.
Our guide Ghassan was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and a wonderful human being. What makes a really big difference when you’re spending all day with a guide is being able to get a deep connection, and Ghassan made us feel like family that he was taking care of.
Thank you Ghassan for an amazing day!

Good tour with some points to pay attention to - Great tour, the guide did well and took me around the city and we even went to some extra places on the way to buy a couple things I needed. The experience around the souq was fun. I did the tour in the afternoon, which required some adjustments (fish market, inside part of the Opera, and grand mosque were closed).
I suggest doing the tour in the morning if possible. Make sure to confirm the itinerary before.
This would be 5 stars if not for the level of English of the guide, who changed last minute. He was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately could not speak English well. So I could get some bits of info here and there, but we could not have real discussions. So double-checking for this point before the tour is recommended.
