Muscat tour - We had an amazing time on our Muscat city tour! I can’t thank our tour guide, Said Al Aamri, enough for such a wonderful day exploring Oman. He answered all our questions and showed us hidden gems we’d never have found on our own.Our guide , was punctual, organized, and deeply knowledgeable about the region’s history and traditions. His enthusiasm made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Exceptional tour experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this company and would gladly book another tour with Said in the future.

A private half day Muscat City Tour - What an excellent tour and highly recommended. We were treated to a seamless half day Muscat City Tour with our wonderful guide, Saif, who spoke perfect English and was very polite and informative. We were collected by a spacious air conditioned car and had the privilege of visiting the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque with its stunning architecture. We then explored some highlights of Muscat including the Fish Market, the Souk, the old port with Portuguese forts. We then had a great short tour at the opulent Royal Opera House-we would love to return one day to watch a performance! Thank you very much. A super end to our stay in Oman.

Half a day is enough time to see all the scenic spots - Having moved here for work, I haven't had much time to take in the scenery. It was wonderful to explore the scenic spots of Muscat with my guide, Ali. He took the time to share his knowledge about the sites and the daily life in Oman. Really friendly, good spoken English. Would highly recommend the tour and the tour guide.

Highly Recommended Tour in Oman - I had an excellent experience with Star Tours for a private half-day tour in Oman and would highly recommend their services. From the very beginning, the customer service was outstanding. I reached out just one day before the tour, and despite the short notice, they responded quickly and efficiently. The representative was incredibly helpful and patient, taking the time to answer all of my questions and accommodate even my last-minute requests with ease. On the day of the tour, we were guided by Mr. Khalil Al Jabri, who truly made the experience special. He was attentive, friendly, and very professional throughout the tour. As an added touch of hospitality, he even bought us some snacks along the way, which we really appreciated. Overall, the entire experience — from the smooth booking process to the thoughtful and enjoyable tour — exceeded my expectations.

Personalised & Professional - The service from start to finish was exceptional! Karen from the team reached out to reassure me with the booking and then my guide Waleed took over. Waleed is a thoughtful, experienced and professional guide. He was patient and considerate, adopting to my needs in making the most of our time together. I only wished we had more time. Maybe, next time! Highly recommended.

Exceptional Experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman - My experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman has been nothing short of exceptional! His warmth and genuine friendliness made me feel so welcome throughout the entire experience. I’m incredibly grateful for how he shared insights into the culture, pointing out special details that someone new to it might easily overlook. It’s been such a valuable and enriching journey, and I can’t recommend Star Tours Oman and Waleed enough for their incredible talent and compassionate approach. Thank you so much, Waleed!
