We are group of 8 People traveling Muscat. We were 4 in each car. The guide was in one car and we transitioned back and forth. The guide was very knowledgeable and curtious He knew his history. I would recommend this trip and especially the Mosque which was magnificent.
Elizabeth_P, Oct 2022
Knowing we would be in Muscat on a Friday, I was reluctant to book a tour as in Muslim countries usually everything is closed. So I went on the live chat to inquire and was reassured that the tour would proceed and everything would be as normal.
Of course, when the guide collected us and started driving us around, the only thing open was the Souk for shopping ( which we were not interested in doing ). He drove us around for about 2 hours pointing out a few landmarks and museums, all of which were closed, and we were back at the hotel after approximately 2 hours. We paid over $400 for this tour. A complete rip off. I have written to the tour operator for a refund. I doubt this will be forthcoming.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
I am sorry about you not liking the trip.
With due respect, there are few things that needs to be corrected in the review above. First one is that there was no earlier communication with us regarding the Friday on live chat. May be it was with Tripadvisor itself. Friday being an off day here, many things are closed. We have closed the booking for this trip on Friday, so that the other days people can see all the places.
Secondly, the guide tried his best to show you Muscat. Since it was hot, no one from your side was interested to come out of the car and see the sight. If no one comes out of the car and see the sight, it would be like a road trip with just pointing out the sights and finish earlier.
