Mytouroman is impressive in its service and care - Haroon was my driver for a fascinating day seeing the countryside of Oman. The lunch was well-presented, and the host most informative. The drive up the mountains coukd be a bit hair-raising for some, but I felt very confident in Haroon's driving skills and the views really were breathtaking. (Who would have expected to be able to get freshly-squeezed orange juice,and a really good espresso at over 3,000m!) Oman was very hot indeed in June, but it was a dry heat, so not as fatiguing as if it had been humid. Oman really is a fascinating country, and Mytouroman will make certain you see it safely and comfortably.

Jabal Akhdar and food tour - All I can say is WOW! A tour, with breathtaking views and a guide who knows rich history, about the people, villages, farming and tradition ... this is the tour and Salim is your guide! The Jabal Akhdar region is simply incredible. These people are mostly farmers who grow amazing fruits, vegetables and flowers for centuries. We ate a mean Salim and his wife prepared for us with fresh local fruit they grew on their land. I am speechless at how beautiful everything was. Our guide was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. We were in touch before we even got to Oman via Whatsapp. Booking with this company was simple to do and definitely recommend! Enjoy Oman!

Great experience on 3 tours - We did 3 tours: Mountain food, Jabal Akhdar trek and Desert tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the presence of Salim and his knowlegde. All 3 tours had something special, but our favourite one was the Desert one, it was our first contact with tbe desert and we loved it. Great way to learn about the Omani culture through the 3 tours.
