Very good - We had an amazing day with Khakid Alraqadi!😀 He explained in detail the places we visited and he had a lot knowledge. He took his time to answer our questions. This tour would not have been so memorable without him. Highly recommend this guided tour.

Gaston Hendriks’ day off - Nice trip, guide Said Alkiyumi is a good driver, and has good humor. The “green mountains” is a good place to be when the temperatures at the coast are very high!

Immerse yourself in another world! - We had an unforgettable day with our great guide Amer in Nizwa! The fort and the market are impressive, as is the drive through the green mountains with the pomegranate trees. Amer always responded to our wishes and explained a lot about the country and its people. Simply great!

Highly recommend Amer from Sunshine Tours. Had such a lovely day! - Amer from Sunshine Tours took us to Green Mountain and also to see the old settlement and old irrigation system.
Amer was such a great tour guide. He unexpectedly stopped at a dates farm and we got free dates to try. It's the Omani hospitality which is just so amazing. He then took us to a nice viewpoint/restaurant in the Green Mountain.
He also took us to an old house in the Green Mountain and showed us how rose water is made. It was really interesting to see the old techniques. It was also simply fabulous to see the mountain and greenery filled by pomegranate trees.
I highly recommend Amer as the guide. Choose him! I also highly recommended Sunshine Tours.

Amazing tour - This was an amazing tour. Our guide, Said, was so knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to explain everything to us in great detail and was very polite and friendly. When he saw that my husband was getting tired he immediately adjusted the tour to make sure he was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get a brief history of Oman as well as take in beautiful views.

5* - Khalid was great! - 5*
Nizwa is a beautiful city with great history. The souks and fort are beautiful and jabal akhdar has some of the most extraordinary views.
Khalid was our designated driver for the day. He was very friendly and respectful and had great knowledge of all the landmarks we visited. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and even when out of his way to accommodate any requests we had.
Would most definitely recommend requesting Khalid as your driver if possible! He made our experience to Nizwa more memorable.

This was a great tour and experience.

Wonderful tour of Nizwa and Jabal Akhbar - Amazing tour of the region, with beautiful scenery, lots of information about the history and area, with a few additional surprise stops. I’m left with a feeling I should spend more time in Oman! Thanks, Muneer for an enjoyable and informative day. Appreciate your hospitality and patience!
