A wonderful morning tour of Muscat! - Saif Al Aghbari was our guide for our half day tour of Muscat. We had the loveliest time with him. He was so informative about the city and its history and about Oman too. Our tour of the beautiful mosque was a highlight as he shared so many interesting facts with us in an easy, relaxed style. We were definitely in the hands of a very experienced and thorough guide. Saif took us to the fish market and souk as well as the museum, Palace and Opera House. Nothing felt rushed or overdone and he took great care of us with endless water and some delicious homemade snacks. It was like being in the company of a delightful new friend! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned so much too.

Excellent trip - Just got back from this trip, an excellent overview of Muscat’s main attractions. We normally like to do our own sightseeing but Muscat is so spread out, we would suggest anybody taking this tour. Our guide Saif was friendly, informative and struck the balance between over the top and leaving us to ourselves which is a difficult balance to achieve with us. On the way back we asked if he had any recommendations for restaurants around the hotel and he took the time to drive us around a few, perfect thanks Saif

wadi shab - We have just come back from this great trip as I have to say Oman is definitely a magic place for the beauty of its colourful landscape, for its culture, traditions and lovely and respectful people. We had the chance to organise our tour to Wadi Shab & Sinkhole with Muscat Nature Tours : a great choice for the quality-price combination and for the kindness and professionalism of our advise Tahar, so attentive to satisfy all our expectations. We are planning to come back and visit all the other amazing places we missed this time and we will definitely contact Muscat Nature Tours again who I recommend to anyone .

Warning! Don’t do it! - We did a city tour with Tahar. The first 30 minutes were spent on showing us other tours the companies offers and trying to convince us to book additional tours with them. We then drove to the Grand Mosque, Muttrah and later Al Alam Palace. Most of the places Tahar himself stayed in the car, without explaining us something about the sites. Then he talked us into booking an airport transfer as a special offer of the company for 13 OMR. The transfer was supposed to come at 2:00 a.m. but never showed up. I called Tahar, the next day he told me the driver had an accident. We never got our money back.
