Oman at its best - I loved and learnt a lot on this tour. Enjoyed hearing the history re water supplies and great view of mountains.. I was the only person on this tour with my guide/driver Hamid, due it is the last tour of season. So thanks for operating this tour just for me. I was unable to see some of the attractions due a slight disability that makes it virtually impossible to climb rough steep steps at the Fort in Nizwa.etc , so got back early, through nobody's fault except mine. If you have a slight infirmity again check with operator before booking. I'll probably rent a car for long day tours so I can explore other options.
Great value for money.Long distance. Lunch included at similar to a diner. Not rushed, the souque at Nizwa was good in the old part of town. The dates are good in fact was given a bag by one of the vendors for nothing. Felt a little embarrassed. My driver bought a supply and offered me dates till I had to politely refuse due unable to eat so many. Oman is a very friendly countrie where I feel safe as in all Gulf states

Khaleel Makes the Magic comes Alive! - I completed on 29th Oct a Muscat and Northern territories of Nizwa, Bahla and Janeed with Khaleel a first class and very professional, passionate and well informed (and looks like a F1 driver) tour guide who gave the group an absolute top rated touring experiences. Khaleel works with Gray Line Oman, if you are in Oman please get in touch with him you will never ever ever be disappointed and, like me and those in the group, you will want an extra day or two with Khaleel.
He is absolutely amazing. A true ambassador for Oman, showing the best qualities of Oman people; loving, caring, professional, passionate, and always thinking of others' happiness, safety, and wellbeing.
Thank you, Khaleel
If there was an Oscars Award for Tour Guide he will probably definitely be top contender everytime🙏👌👍

Day of history, art, culture, memories - Αmazing cultural trip, many stops many attractions, nice food and company.
The highlight was our amazing guide and driver Mister Said, who was extremely helpful, friendly and informative.
This guide explored with us the places, answered our questions and we learned so many things about. Oman of the past and the contemporary lifestyle.
Thanks

A nice trip to Nizwa - You get what you pay for. An efficient tour which they have got down pat. They pick you up on time, show you what was promised, a good lunch and then drop you off. Khaleel was a good, polite driver

Nice - Everything about the trip was good, right from the start to end. The only thing I would recommend is to allow more time at the Souq so that people can visit the Nizwa Fort.

Nicely organized trip... - Nicely organized trip with very informative audio guide. Only wish I had was we could have spend more time each places so we explore each town more as we ended up coming back around 4pm instead of 6pm, which was the advertised ending time.

Dear Viator Team,... - Dear Viator Team,
I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the tour we recently booked through your platform in Oman, which included stops at Birkat Al Mouz, Nizwa Fort, Jabreen Castle, and Bahla Fort.
Unfortunately, the experience we had was far from what was promised in the tour description and did not justify the £80 per person fee we paid.
First and foremost, our driver was not a guide at all — he barely spoke to us during the entire trip and did not provide any context, explanation, or insight about the places we were visiting. Additionally, no water was offered throughout the journey, despite long hours spent in the car under high temperatures, which is a basic expectation for this type of tour.
Regarding the audio guide, the description stated it was included, but we were extremely disappointed to find that it only consisted of pre-recorded messages played while we were in the car. We had expected an audio guide to accompany us at the sites, perhaps with radios or some form of commentary during the visits. As a result, the in-car-only audio was almost entirely useless and added no real value to our experience.
The stops themselves felt rushed and unstructured, as we were largely left to explore on our own without any support or guidance. The lunch provided was also very poor – it resembled a low-grade canteen, with the same bland dish served to everyone, lacking both variety and quality.
Most disappointing of all, we did not get to visit the Nizwa Fort, which was supposed to be one of the key highlights of the tour. The description clearly mentioned we would spend about an hour at the site, and while it was stated that the entrance fee was not included, it was absolutely implied that we would at least be able to visit it on our own by purchasing tickets ourselves. Instead, we barely passed by the fort without even stopping, which felt truly misleading.
In the end, this was barely a half-day tour in terms of actual value and content, and it felt completely unworthy of the price. It was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially given the trust we placed in Viator.
We strongly feel that a partial refund is warranted, and we kindly ask that you review this case and take appropriate action.
I look forward to your response.
