A wonderful tour of Muscat. - Mahmoud is a wonderful tour guide. Friendly and accommodating. Well versed in Omani history and the beauty of what we saw. The grand mosque and the fish market were highlights.

Magnificent Muscat - Very enjoyable. Mohamed was fantastic, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He was happy to share his personal experiences of Oman and happy to be flexible to our interests. He did not rush us when we wanted to stay longer at certain sites and was happy to change the itinerary to cater to our interests. Mohamed was very generous with his time and really made the day a highlight of our trip to Oman. I can’t recommend his services more highly and look forward to meeting up with him when we next visit Muscat. Mark

A Truly Wonderful Experience Thanks to Mahmoud - We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mahmoud as our guide through Muscat! He was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely nice, making our time truly enjoyable. His explanations were clear and insightful, helping us understand the Omani culture in great depth. We honestly couldn't have wished for a better guide. A special thanks to him for his invaluable help in navigating the Souq and getting great prices – his negotiation tips were brilliant! We highly recommend Mahmoud and this city tour!

Perfect Introduction to Oman - This was the perfect intro to Oman and Zaher was an exceptional guide. He demonstrated famed Omani hospitality even before the tour began, with helpful welcome messages and precise instructions for the airport pickup. I had a limited amount of time and he packed in a wealth of knowledge and insights. (Ask him about Omani bread and you will not be disappointed!) He is a gifted teacher and the materials he brought increased both learning and enjoyment. I will 100% seek him out when I return to Oman—having been everywhere in the region (except Yemen) it is now my Gulf favorite.

Worth the time and money - Excellent tour of Muscat - got to see the main attractions across Muscat in a reasonable amount of time. There was enough time at every location and the food was delicious. My guide Mahmood was very knowledgeable, professional and made the tour really enjoyable. Would highly recommend booking this tour or other tours with this company.
