Spectacular Oman Day Trip - Superb trip from start to finish! The guide was super friendly, and with a small group - only 4 of us - we had a leisurely walk through the souks to the Fort and Castle. The views were amazing and there was plenty of time for photo opportunities. Everything was so well organised, there was no rushing and our guide was very informative. We then went in to the mountains and the views were spectacular. On the way back we saw a date plantation. The entire trip was thoroughly relaxed and enjoyable considering it was a full on trip. So happy to have experienced this and a huge shout out to Hulk, our guide, who made this possible.

Excellent tour and guide - Our trip which included stopping at the Nizwa Souq to buy various delicious dates, to visiting the awesome Nizwa Fort, experiencing the wonderful view of Green Mountain and ending with the ancient farming water ducts of Aflaj made for a most enduring and memorable trip for us. Our guide and driver Aiman was superb and his stories were really interesting and educational. We had a wonderful day!

A complete trip to Oman in 1 day - Mohammed was very down to earth and tried to extend the best hospitality we ever received. We were received in a nice SUV with a tour in the village, fort, Jebel and finally a viewing point. When we thought the day is over, he stopped by at the gas station and offered us a nice Karak tea with local snacks despite the long day. That was very heartwarming and we would highly recommend to all our friends coming to Oman! I wish him all success in his business.

Most Definitely Recommend: One of the Best Day Tours with amazing guide - Amazing excursion with our tour guide Mohammed. He made sure that we explored each aspect of the Nizwa city, amazing drive to Jebel Akhtar and mesmerising view of the Palm trees and the village Birkat Al Mouz with a comforting tea and sweet omani snack on the way back. He was thoroughly engaged with the group and we did see many aspects of Omani culture through our conversations.

Excellent driver for the day- Saeed - We had an excellent driver for the day-Saeed. He did a wonderful job of driving us and making us feel comfortable and welcome. He couldn’t do enough for us.
We were provided with a lovely karak chai on our drive to Nizwa. Saeed knew all the great photo stops and view points and made sure we saw them all. Lunch was amazing, a basic restaurant with great food and service.
Can’t recommend this company enough, especially Saeed. Thank you.

An unforgettable family experience with true Omani hospitality - We booked the Nizwa tour with Zahrat Muscat Tours LLC through Viator, and it exceeded all our expectations.
We traveled as a family with two children, and from the very first moment our guide, Mr. Mohammed, made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. We never felt like “just tourists”, rather like honored guests.
The tour was not only about visiting beautiful places (the Nizwa Fort and the souq are truly impressive), but also about experiencing authentic Omani hospitality and culture. Mr. Mohammed was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and very thoughtful toward our children, which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
This was a memorable and meaningful experience, and one of the highlights of our trip to Oman.
Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a personal, high-quality tour experience.

A gem of a day out! - This is an incredible excursion. You will travel to see a souk, Nizwa Fort, lunch up in the mountains, gaze down into the valley and a surprise viewpoint before heading back to Muscat
Our tour guide, Adbullah was extremely polite and knowledgeable, pointing out details that I would have missed. An excellent tour guide!
