Must-do

Nicolettec, May 2023

We had a fabulous time on our private tour. Said was very knowledgeable and kind and was the best guide we could have possibly asked for. This tour is a must do (and if you can, request Said be your guide)a.

Superb half-day tour of Muscat

Kerris_L, Apr 2023

Our half day tour of Muscat was superb - but this was primarily down to our EXCELLENT tour guide - JAFFRA. He was extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and made the tour incredibly interesting. Outstanding - thank you.

Lucia_B, Mar 2023

Our guide, Ahmed, was punctual, pleasant and professional. The vehicle was comfortable for our group of 4 adults. Ahmed told us about the sights and gave us ample time at each stop to explore and take photos. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was beautiful and worth the visit. We went to the Bait Al Zubair, a local cultural museum highlighting Omani life and history. Even though we toured the Mutrah Fish Market later in the morning, we were amazed at the variety of fish at each stall. The fruit and vegetable market in the opposite building was nice to wander through. Overall a nice tour.

Great tour

judith_h, Jan 2023

Jaffar picked us up at the cruise terminal gate in a large, comfortable, air-conditioned, SUV - right on time. In fact, he was there when we arrived, 15 minutes early. He was friendly, personable, spoke English well, and had a passion for the area, so was an ideal tour guide. He took us to the Grand Mosque first. From there we went to the fish souk and the main souk. Plenty of time to look around. Then Jaafar took us to Old Muscat, where we toured a small museum and stopped for photos at the royal palace. There were some great views on the water as well. He also offered to take us to another museum (not scheduled on the tour). At the end of the tour, Jaafar agreeably dropped us off at the Muscat airport, where we parted ways. The tour was about 4 hrs, which was just right. We highly recommend this tour and Jaafar specifically.

Great Short Tour of Muscat

John_W, Nov 2022

The tour operator communicated very well so we could be picked up right at the port. Jaafar was a wonderful guide for our short tour of Muscat. The vehicle was great and he spoke great English and gave us information as we went from site to site, telling us about facts and at each stop. Enjoyed this tour would recommend if you only have 3-4 hours.

History and Beauty of Muscat

penny, May 2022

Our tour guide, Said was knowledgeable and proud to share the history and beauty of his beautiful Muscat. We were very happy we chose a private tour as it gave us comfort and the flexibility to stay longer at the sites we wanted. The Qaboos Grand Mosque is extraordinary and it's architecture and symbolism fascinating. Said encouraged us to explore Mutrah Souq at our own pace. It was nice to not feel hurried! We visited the Palace, the Marina, as well as other landmarks for photo and exploring opportunities. Thank you, Said for sharing your amazing Muscat! We hope to visit again. This tour is highly recommended!

Private Half day in Muscat

Judith_P, Mar 2020

Excellent Informative guide. He was kind and patient. We learned so much of the customs and their government. Beautiful city, Enjoyable tour. Always a great tour arranged by Viator.

Our tour guide.

repsaw, Jan 2020

My tour of Oman was one of the highlights of my recent cruise. The reason why is Afaf Al-Abdullatif. She is one of the brightest smartest tour guides I have ever had an any tour overtaken around the world. She has a masters degree speak multiple languages in her English is perfect. She has a passion for country and she shows it he becomes infectious. My wife and I were absolutely overwhelmed by the quality of knowledge and dedication and going the extra distance that she did for us. She showed us the basic tour items but went the extra distance showing us more. I plan on coming back to Oman just because of her. Anybody to have her as your guide has just won the lottery.

Muscat City Tour- well worth it!

Alicia B, Aug 2019

Oman is a beautiful country. Throughout the tour, I noticed the unique beauty of this country and learned so much. The tour guide, Abdullah, is very knowledgeable. He is like a walking encyclopedia. He told me about things that you probably won't find in a book or online. The tour is well worth the money! I'm glad I chose it :)

Superbe ville et mosquée
