        Amazing - Muadh was our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. He was well versed with the history of Oman. He took us to the best places whilst providing us cultural information about Nizwa, Nizwa fort and Jebel Shams. All in all, I wouldn’t have enjoyed this without such a great tour guide! I would highly recommend!

        Wonderful experience with Ali and GidOman Tours - I went on the Nizwa Fort and Jebel Shams tour today with GidOman Tours. Ali was our tour guide and right from the initial contact confirming the time the evening before until drop off he was brilliant. I think it's probably the best organised tour I've ever been on. Ali was professional but friendly, nothing was too much trouble for him, and he went out of his way to make everyone feel included. 
He was fantastic at providing background knowledge at Nizwa and Jebel Shams, he was a willing photographer, he was mindful of the heat and ensured we stayed hydrated at all times,  and he worked in bathroom breaks for us all. 
It is clear that Ali takes great pride in his work as a tour guide and right from the start he put us at ease. I have been on driving tours in many countries and have at times worried about road safety but Ali's driving was perfect. He read the road, and driving conditions and I definitely felt like I was in safe hands. 
My only complaint is that I'm flying home Monday and I don't have time to fit another tour in with Ali and GidOman Tours. I 100% recommend this tour and if you're lucky enough to get Ali as your guide then you can be assured you'll have a wonderful experience

        Great day trip from Muscat - Our driver/guide Yaqoob was great. He's knowledgeable, friendly and did his best to make sure "everyone is happy" as he would always say. We saw the items in the itinerary but he also stopped at the water irrigation system as a bonus for the day. Highly recommend.

        Best 4x4 private tour of Nizwa and Jebel akhtar with Mr. Fawzi - We had the best tour of Nizwa and jebel akhtar green mountains with our private 4x4 tour guide fawzi. We explored the jebel akhtar mountains,ancient irrigation systems , villages , culture, rose perfumery’s, coffees brewing, pomegranate and olive plantations. Hike through the green mountains to explore the best view which was guided us by our guide Mr. Fawzi. We visited nizwa fort, all the souqs located in nizwa . Our guide gave us so great tour of the entire fort and souqs which really told the story of oman. It was truly an amazing experience to explore oman with Mr. Fawzi and had a private 4x4 tour from sunshine tours

        There is a lot of driving... - There is a lot of driving but travellers get to see more traditional living of Omanis, the countryside and the Al Hajar Mountains.  A drive up Jebel Shams to over look the canyon is well worth the long day to look down into the canyon.  The journey would have been more comfortable if the vehicle had been larger.  There was not enough leg room

        Interesting but long & hot - Interesting tour, but long drive.  Visiting Nizwa fort mid day, very hot.  Canyon very steep sides, so difficult to take good photos.  Just enjoy the peace & quietness.  Good driver & guide.
