Best tour guide - Mohamed A. was our tour guide for the Friday Nizwa program. We haven’t met such a well-prepared guide in a long time. He shared a great deal of information with us and talked extensively about the country and the sights throughout the entire tour. He was attentive to the group and remained cheerful and positive the whole time. Thank you for this wonderful day – we highly recommend him to everyone!!

Beautiful visit - Very long road but worth it. The visit to Nizwa Castle is beautiful. The souk too but the relatively high rates (mutrah's is cheaper). After a meal on the road towards Jebel Shams, the great canyon of Arabia... beautiful.. and this tour in oetit group by car this is great. Thanks to Ahmed the super guide

A Fabulous Day trip from Muscat - I had the most amazing tour today with Muhammed Aldighaishi. There were just 3 of us on the tour, and his enthusiasm shon through from the moment he picked us up. He gave us full information on what the itinerary was. Our first stop was Nizwa Souq, seeing and tasting the different dates, and smelling Francansence. Nizwa Fort showing all the different rooms and views. Lunch in Nizwa was delicious, followed by Jabreen Castle and finally Bahla Fort A truelly memorable day

Actually for Fort and Grand Canyon - (We actually went on The Nizwa Fort + Grand Canyon Trip as the original trip did not meet the number of participants) This experience was very good and intuitive, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, giving us plenty of time to explore (Thank you Mr. Abdul Hamid), we had our itinerary texted to us with what was required and what to expect, which was very useful. The experience itself was amazing, the grand canyon was a marvelous scene, and the main food and drinks were covered by our wonderful guide. Please be aware that although it is stated that the trip is around 10 hours, it is most likely going to last longer than this, the trip from muscat to the fort and then Nizwa is close to 4/5 hours itself, two ways means that it would be around 9/10 hours. Due to extra traffic on the way back meant it was a total of 13 hours to return to our hotel. Also be prepared for a bumpy ride and comfortable of high heights (for the canyon) Regardless of this, it was still worth the experience fully. With a public setting you are likely to meet other outgoing people. In addition - the team very helpful contacting via WhatsApp the night before with all the information needed and as mentioned our plans were changed, although there is a price difference I was not charged extra for the change.

First class tour - If you’re visiting Oman then be sure to take this tour, especially if you’re fortunate to have Mohammed Aldighaishi as your guide! We covered everything in the itinerary and more, along the way you’ll try local dates and coffees and sweet treats. Lunch was excellent, the visits timed really well, with time to see everything and we were sad when we all had to say good bye. A really excellent day ! Thank you!

Great tour - It was a great tour with a very kind, friendly and trustworthy guide (Mohamed) who took great care of our group and went above and beyond to make this experience as enjoyable as possible to each of us. I liked that we traveled in a small group (9 people) and had time to stop at different spots and try local food as well!
