Stunning places, highly recommended tour - During a winter escape from Europe and our first visit to Oman, we were very glad having booked this tour with Takamul Travel, giving us the opportunity to experience western Dhofar in a perfect setting. We found our tour guide Karel, CEO of Takamul Travel, well-educated, knowledgeable and entertaining, giving us very interesting insights into the country. Karel is an experienced and safe driver. The visited places are really stunning, and we encountered almost no other tourists - apparently most of Salalah visitors kept sitting on the beach at this time of year. We very much recommend booking this fantastic experience with Takamul. We thought we got excellent value for much less money compared to tours offered via our hotel tour operator. We also booked the Empty Quarter desert adventure with Takamul Travel, which was equally enjoyable.

Excellent tour - Recommended - My wife and I did the 5 hour West Salalah tour with Karel Tomastik on 8 February 2020. Pick up time was 9am and he arrived at our hotel right on time. It was a surprise to us that Karel was Czech. My wife is Czech too so they conversed in Czech occasionally during our trip. Karel also speaks perfect English and Arabic. He has a Master's degree from Charles University in Prague, in Arabic language and History of the Middle East. Karel was excellent in his knowledge of all the areas we visited, and we appreciated his additional commentary while driving about the history of the region. His driving was excellent and the car we travelled in was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. Karel didn't rush us at all, letting us explore the places at our leisure, considering we had to be back at our hotel at 2pm so we could shower, clean up, and check out by 2.30pm. We stopped off at the Al Hafa Fort Market where my wife bought a cashmere scarf and we also bought some Frankincense products. We arrived back at our hotel at 2pm. Overall, excellent tour and we appreciated Karel for his knowledge, driving, commentary, and not rushing us. We recommend Takamui Travel for your Salalah tours.

Nothing but perfect! - Without a doubt brilliant, I did two tours with them during my stay in Salalah and I highly recommend both. Not only everything was perfect, but I felt, in every instance, that the tour guide did his best to make this trip memorable. I really enjoyed the great views from the mountains, hiking to a secluded beach and so many other things. Will definitetly come back!
