Seamless tour of Muscat and trip to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar… - We went on two tours with Khalid…the first was a private tour of Muscat, the second a private tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. Both were great. Khalid is very knowledgeable about the history and passionate about his country. He knew the best places to visit in the Nizwa Souq. It would have taken us hours to try to figure that out on our own. The road to Jebel Akhdar is long, steep and winding. You must take a 4 x 4 vehicle. We would have been terrified to attempt this in our own. We were fortunate to visit while the roses were blooming. It was delightful and about 15 degrees cooler than Nizwa. Khalid is not only a great guide but also a great driver. We highly recommend him.

Great Private Touring from Muscat over 3 days - We booked three full day tours with Star Oman Tours. Day 1: Sultan Qaboos Grand mosque - Royal Opera House - Shatti Qurum Beach - Fish Market - Mutrah Souq – Muttrah Corniche- Al Alam Palace - Bait Al Zubair Museum - Parliament Photo stop. Day 2: Nakhal Fortress, Nakhal Hotspring, Wadi Bani Awf, Bilad Sayt Day 3: Nizwa Fort – Nizwa Souq - Bahla Fort – Jabreen Castle The first two days we had Waleed as our tour guide, while the last day was with Said Al Kiyumi. The communication with Star Oman was great from the start. Quick responses, very clear about what to expect, flexible to accommodate start times, switch days, etc. The sites, themselves, require no review. They were all beautiful and worth visiting. TripAdvisor has separate reviews for the sites. What I can say is the tour company delivered, and I would use them again. In particular, it was clear Said really wanted us to experience his beautiful country, and inquired many times throughout the tour what else he could do for us, and whether there was anything else we wanted to see. This was on top of a 10-hour tour day! We really appreciated his enthusiasm and willingness to do that. Hotel pickup was exactly as planned. Each night, we received texts vis WhatsApp to confirm the next day’s pick-up time, and whether we wanted any changes. Extremely flexible. We really enjoyed the three days of touring with Waleed and Said and definitely recommend Star Oman Tours. *****

Nizwa and Jabel Akdhar Day Tour - Booked a day tour to Jabel Akdhar and was blessed to have Mr Nasr as our tour guide and driver. Mr Nasr was extremely friendly and accommodating. His service was second to none. He is great with kids and even bought us drinks. Mr Nasr speaks excellent English and knows the history of every single place we visited. He doesn’t time watch and will let you take your time at every point. Thank you Mr Nasr for your service. If you book with Oman tours ask for Mr Nasr!!!
