Wonderful Day Exploring Nizwa - We had had a fantastic day exploring the forts and castles around Nizwa. Our guide, Ahmed, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. In addition to explaining the various historical sites, Ahmed enthusiastically shared so many interesting insights into the Omani culture. We have a much better understanding and appreciation for this incredible country. Planning was very easy, logistics worked perfectly, and we had a great overall experience. We’d highly recommend Star Tour Oman and would strongly suggest asking for Ahmed!

Best Guide - Thankyou Sunshine Tours and Amer for showing us around Oman and all its wonders. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour in a relaxed atmosphere with amazing kind patience and care from wonderful Amer. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to give us such an amazing experience! A special touch was his homemade Omanian coffee and dates he brought from his home everyday.
We leave Oman with more knowledge and understanding and truly can’t recommend our guide and tour enough.
Thankyou ♥️

Nizwa Fort and historical day tour review - The guide, Mr Ali was like a friend and made me feel welcomed to Oman the moment we met at the lobby. It was my first visit to this country and naturally I have many questions. He has extensive local knowledge, and we even joined some coffee-drinking and dates-eating groups (free - Omani hospitality) with some of the friendly folks we met along the way. He is able to describe the background and history of Nizwa Fort, Jibreen Castle, Bahla Castle with ease. Did lots of photo taking and food tasting at various stops.
He was entertaining, attentive, speaks fluent English and a safe driver. I would very highly recommend his service to anyone who wish to visit this beautiful country.

One day in Oman - With a 14 hour layover in Muscat what better way to spend the time than seeing some Omani highlights.
My driver and guide Khalil was great not only with his driving but with imparting the history of the sites we visited. Who knew that Omanis were building castles 5000 years ago (Jabreen)?Amazing!
The pick- up from the airport was right on time and communication between the client-me- and Khalil was spot-on. There was nothing to fault throughout the day.
I’d highly recommend this tour for a quick overview of Oman and its history. Now to come back for a more in-depth look….
