My best chauffeur drive experience - I had the pleasure of being driven around the city of Muscat by Khalid, who I can confidently say was the best chauffeur driver I have ever experienced throughout my years of travel around the world. His attention to detail, hospitable personality and knowledge of the city is second to none. I will definitely be requesting Khalid as my chauffeur driver the next time I make a chauffeur drive booking at the Kempinski Hotel.

Khaleed was exceptional, kind, and understanding. - Khaleed's service was exceptional, he gave us a full history brief of almost every historic building and was very knowledgable. He offered us karak chai which was amazing and took us to beautiful places and took pictures of us without any problem. He was very kind and understanding, didn't rip us off like every marketplace shopkeeper we ran into and didnt pressurize us into buying anything. Would definitely recommend.

Nice Experience - We booked this tour in the morning and were very happy with the confirmation. Mohammed Alshmali was our your guide and he took us to all the places and the whole experience was excellent. He also took me to Ameer Al Mandi restaurant so that I could try the shuwa which was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour and appreciate Mohammed Alshmali for his services.

Green Mountain Rose Terraces - Can’t recommend Wabar Tours more highly - Saif was our guide to Nizwa and the Green Mountain, and was excellent, being very generous with his time and came up with some great suggestions for places off the set tour. The mountain villages and rose terraces were the highlight for me. Definitely worth doing!

Nizwa Tour - Our trip to Nizwa was worth every second of it! The tour was well organised and we got to see all the places as planned and agreed upon. Saif was a wonderful guide right from the word go. He was very pleasant and had a wealth of knowledge. Also very experienced driver as the road is steep going up the hills to Jamal Alakhdhar. If you want to enjoy your tours in Oman be sure to go with them and you’ll not be disappointed.

Thank you Saif! - We recommend Saif for the half day tour of Muscat. We enjoyed Saif's comfortable car, and informative and entertaining guiding. We saw all the main sites and did not feel rushed at all. Saif was able to share with us facts about the history and culture of Oman as we walked around the sites and souks. The karak tea and pancake stop was fun. Asanta nana Saif!
