  We had an excellent experience on this tour. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, with convenient hotel pickup and smooth transportation throughout the day. The visit to Wadi Shab was a real highlight. The hike was enjoyable, and our guide was attentive and supportive throughout. Swimming through the crystal-clear pools, exploring the canyon, and jumping into the water made for an unforgettable adventure. The visit to Wadi Bani Khalid was equally impressive, offering beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. We also had a fantastic time quad biking in Wahiba Sands — it was exciting, fun, and a perfect way to experience the desert. The buffet lunch was delicious and offered a great variety of options. Overall, this tour provided a wonderful mix of adventure, natural beauty, and excellent organization. Highly recommended!Show more

  Don't over think it, do this tour. Oman is a beautiful country, incredibly diverse and you can experience so many different landscapes in a short time. The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming to tourists. GidOman was a great company and all the hotels were great. And Abdullah, our guide for the trip, is a super genius in all things Oman and all around great fella. Probably the best part of the tour was all the little coffee, tea, food and lookout spots that he took us to enroute to each of the destinations that appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. Special mention to Abdullah for working the Wadi Shab, man is nimble.Show more

  I would like to share my positive experience from the recent tour. Everything went smoothly and exceeded my expectations. The guide demonstrated excellent professionalism: he was friendly, attentive, and provided a wealth of interesting information throughout the trip. We explored numerous remarkable locations, but the most memorable part was the desert excursion. The opportunity to ride across the desert and witness the stunning sunset was truly breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour and especially thank the guide for their outstanding work.Show more

  I had a very enjoyable trip with a great group of people and would certainly recommend the itinerary and places we saw to others who wish to visit this wonderful country. Now would I recommend they do the tour with GidOman? Probably not. 1. I paid a single supplement of 309.67€ (Feb 2026), which for 5 nights works out at 62€ per night. That is insanely expensive. Or at least if it is par for the course in Oman it will certainly deter solo travellers, especially considering the category of the hotels we stayed at - the Al Ayjah hotel was miles from the turtle reserve, the "desert camp" was just off a main road and not at all inviting, the hotel in Muscat... well Muscat's another story. An extra 62€ single occupancy supplement is frankly excessive. 2. Our "guide" Abdullah was fortunately for us a very friendly & helpful person. However, he is best suited as an escort for a small group of maybe up to 4 persons, not as a guide for a larger group of 14. We were given NO information about the country during the tour - geography, history, culture, economy, etc. - especially considering there was no microphone on the bus, so he basically had nothing to do during the whole trip. Most people in our group complained about the lack of information, so it's not just me. 3. You advertise a group size of 3-11 persons. There were 14 in our group! OK, there may be a justification for admitting a 12th person, but 14 is just greed. And what did we get in return? Lower-category hotels? How do you explain that? As you can see, there isn't too much to recommend about the organisation of the tour and it's quite possible that someone else from our group voices a similar opinion. If anybody's thinking about doing this trip in the future, I hope they realise they won't be getting their money's worth. Sad but true.Show more

  Thank you, Nick, for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary, the destinations, and the overall group experience. Oman truly offers incredible landscapes, and we’re happy that part of the journey met your expectations. At the same time, we sincerely regret that other aspects of the tour did not meet the standard we aim to deliver. **Regarding the single supplement:** We understand your concern. Hotel pricing in Oman often results in higher single supplements, especially in smaller properties. However, we agree that the cost must feel justified, and your feedback will be reviewed carefully with our partners. **Regarding the guide:** Thank you for your kind words about Abdullah as a person. We truly value him as part of our team. That said, your comments about the lack of informational guiding are important and valid. Our goal is to provide not only transportation but also meaningful insight into Oman’s culture, history, and daily life. We will address this internally to improve the overall guiding experience. **Regarding the group size:** You are absolutely right to highlight this. Our tours are designed for **3–11 participants**, and exceeding this number is not in line with our standards. We sincerely apologize for this and will investigate how this happened to ensure it does not occur again. **Regarding accommodation:** We’re sorry to hear that some of the hotels did not meet your expectations in terms of location and overall experience. Your comments will be reviewed with our team to improve future tour planning. We truly appreciate your honest feedback. It helps us identify where we need to improve, and we are committed to making those changes. Thank you again, and we wish you many more great travel experiences in the future. Warm regards, GidOman Tours Team

  ** This overview has not be released on any of our social platforms.*** Let's first start we want a complete refund for the false description of this tour. This note represents my wife: Sylvia Laudien-Meo and myself Frank Meo. This is the very first time we're writing a notice of this nature. 1. It's been well documented by our fellow participants regarding the accommodations throughout of trip - we received the cheapest hotels (the better hotels were in fact available ) - horrible locations (far from city center). and being lied to is rather disappointing on many levels! 2. The tour guide we had was Abdullah, he was extremely nice, very friendly and nice to be around. It ends there. He had zero knowledge of the country or chose not to share any of it with us. Can you you image traveling in a bus for 3-4 hours and not sharing a SINGLE WORD about "your home great" land of Oman. So incredibly disappointing - AND truth is we do like him! 3. Group size - we were told 10 - maybe 12 we have 14! Another falsehood. 4. Imagine being dropped sophie, she still talking to you at a museum and your guide simply disappears. This is not a trip to Disneyland!!! You can only image how angry and truly saddened we all were for a once in a lifetime adventure and to leave with zero knowledge. 5. I could continue - but I think you get the idea and level of frustration my wife and I felt -we all did. As I stated this correspondence is "for the moment" between us I await your response to see our next legally and social media wise. 6. Truthfully, we were given an escort service and not a thoughtfully inspiring guide - it was truly imbasssing experience. Your tour description was completely a falsehood! Sincerely, Frank MeoShow more

  Dear Mr. Meo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify some points regarding your experience: Accommodation: During the high tourist season, the main hotels listed in the tour program were fully booked, and in other hotels there were not always enough rooms to accommodate a group of your size. Therefore, we arranged the best available comparable options at that time. The Intercity Bawsher in Muscat is part of the same Intercity network as the hotel initially listed, maintaining the same standards. Our website clearly states that the hotel may be the one listed or a similar alternative. The program does not guarantee a beachfront location, and we made sure the hotels selected were centrally located in the city and appropriate for your group. Tour Guide: Our guide, Abdullah, is a professional with many years of experience and has received consistently positive feedback from other participants on this same tour. This is the first time we have received critical comments regarding his performance. Nevertheless, we will review this feedback with him to continue improving the quality of our service. Group Size: We acknowledge that the group for your tour was slightly larger than initially stated. The maximum size has now been updated to 15 participants on our website to reflect accurate information. Tour Experience: All scheduled activities and sites in the tour program were fully conducted as planned. During the tour, our team also made additional gestures of hospitality, such as arranging refreshments and complimentary museum entry, to make the journey more comfortable for the group. We understand your concerns and are continuously working to improve our tour descriptions to ensure clarity and avoid misunderstandings in the future. While we cannot agree that the tour description was entirely inaccurate, we value your feedback and appreciate your input. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Kind regards, GidOman team

  A very enjoyable short tour through a fascinating and surprisingly varied country. We visited the coast, the desert and the mountains as well as the capital city, Muscat in a five day tour. Highlights included the swim at the Wadi Shab, dune bashing at the desert camp and seeing the impressive modern architecture of the Oman Across Ages Museum. Additionally we spent time at Wadi Bani Khalid, visited the Dhow workshop at Sur and had the option to go to see turtles one evening (though I personally passed on this, having seen turtles previously in Equatorial Guinea). Our guide Abdullah ensured the tour went without a hitch.Show more

  I had an amazing 5-day tour in Oman with GidOman tours, and I truly enjoyed every part of the experience. The itinerary was very well planned and allowed us to see a great variety of landscapes, culture, and history, from beautiful deserts and mountains to charming towns and breathtaking coastlines. Our guide, Abdullah Alhabsi, was outstanding: extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always kind and attentive. He explained the culture, traditions, and history of Oman in a very interesting and clear way, and he made sure we always felt comfortable and well taken care of! Overall, everything exceeded my expectations! Oman is a stunning country and this tour was the perfect way to discover it. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Oman!Show more

  Very well organized group tour. The communication was very good, both the driver who picked me up from the airport and Saeed, the tour guide, got in touch in advance to coordinate the details. The trip itself was well planned and almost all the stops were very nice. The highlights were the wadis and the desert. The hotels were very appealing, clean and with good food. The highlight was Saeed, the tour guide, who provided lots of useful information and insights into the country, was available to answer any questions, clarified organizational details and always looked after us well. The only thing I didn't like was sometimes the timing. There was a lot of time scheduled for souvenir shopping in very touristy souks and a perfume shop, but the time for the museums was sometimes a little short. But that is certainly also a matter of taste.Show more
