Excellent Tour of Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar with a Fantastic Guide - We had a wonderful day exploring Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar with Walid as our guide. He arrived early and patiently waited for us to get ready. Our day began at the Nizwa souq, where Walid guided us through the lively Friday goat market and introduced us to the vibrant shops in the souq. We had the chance to sample Oman’s famous Halwa and explore the spice market. Next, he took us to Nizwa Castle, where he helped capture some great photos. Later, we enjoyed a delightful time at Green Mountain. Walid ensured we had ample time to explore each spot without feeling rushed. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Nizwa Sharing Tours!

Oman sharing tour review - Khalid was my private tour guide. Wonderful man who speaks fluent English and very knowledgeable about history of the region. He picked me up from my place of residence and drove all the way to Nizwa and Jabal Al Akhdar. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

Amazing day trip - Amazing day trip to Nizwa especially on a Friday, when we visited the cattle market in Nizwa Souq. Fantastic local experience plus got the opportunity to taste the local food delight and buy the freshest fruit. Thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Said Al Kiyumi, who got exceptional driving skills (nail the roads to and down from Al Jabal Al Adkar) and is super knowledgable. Love this tour!

Super day out - Oman Sharing Tours with Waled We have had the most amazing and beautiful day thanks to Oman Sharing Tours we arranged to go to Bilad sayt over the mountain range and then to Al hamra old village and museum our guide Mr Waleed was the best driver and we felt in safe hands -although we have to point out to you if you are nervous disposition and do not like off-road driving on rough terrain through pools and gorges -with massive scenic drops either side and routes that are practically impossible to a normal Driver this is not for you! in short it is not for the faint hearted but if you love mountains and scenery the drive is probably one of the most stunning and memorable places you will ever encounter From the outset sunshine tours were fantastic. Rhoda helped with the detail in the office and her precision to detail planning and timing was amazing. ( We have used Oman for other tours unfortunately on one day we did not heed her advice to leave early and left ourselves short) The villages themselves were awesome Lush palm trees and irrigation channels amongst beautiful old buildings and houses The museum was a real insite into Omani traditions and customs And well worth the visit (I'm not a museum goer normally but this was well worth the three rial entry fee) On the way back we were honoured to go to waleeds home -which made the trip even more special We wanted to return to imti village at night after a prior visit the day before to see it in the evening and Waleed even remembered and took us there A special day with special people Five stars plus to Oman Sharing Tours for making unforgettable memories.

I would like to congratulate Oman sharing tour for the quality of their services. thank you for sending us the best of - We visited the Nizwa souk, its Fort as well as the Jabel Alkhdar mountain and our day would not have been magical without the kindness and passion of Khalid, an exceptional guide! I have traveled a lot in my life and I have never met anyone like him! He took great care of us, allowed us to immerse ourselves in the place while giving us the impression of going back in time with his very fascinating historical stories. He has the soul of a great teacher capable of making you love History and making you want to come back to Muscat.

Incredible tour with Adil! - This tour was everything I could ask for and more! I had been wanting to come to Oman for a long time, but was worried about traveling alone as a female. Oman Sharing Tours made everything easy & safe! They were very responsive and accommodating of my flight / hotel reservations & customizing a tour that fit my needs. My driver & tour guide (Adil Saleh Alqasmi) was the best - he was very kind and even invited me to tea/breakfast after my very early morning flight. He had a lot of local knowledge and answered all of my questions. We became great friends by the end of the two days! We visited Nizwa Souq (and sampled lots of dates, halwa and coffee), then walked around the Nizwa fortress. We beat the early morning rush of tourists, which was very nice! We drove to Birkat Al Mouz and also saw the falaj - all sites were beautiful & well explained. He drove me to Jabal Akhdar and offered to show me various sites / locations for hiking. Finally, he took me around the Grand Mosque in Muscat. Thank you so much for an incredible tour of Oman! I cannot wait to come back to this beautiful country :)
