  We had been looking forward to visiting Oman for a while, and this tour included everything we wanted to see. Our guide and driver was Ali, who was phenomenal. He was a great driver, extremely knowledgeable and easy going with all the timings. He was great at staying in touch via whatsapp. We arrived in Oman a few days before, so on the first day Ali helped us to the new hotel, rather than from the airport. From there, the itinerary covered so much. None of the days involved too much driving, there were no early starts and there were regular stops. We got some time to ourselves in the afternoon/evenings. Our highlights were the turtle watching Ras al Jinz and Nizwa. The accommodation was a little varied, always comfy with beds and ensuites. The Ihyaa hotel in Nizwa and the safari desert camp were the most incredible. The dinners when included and breakfasts were good buffets with lots of options for everyone (including camel kebabs). We whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see lots of Oman and learn about their culture. For practical purposes, we recommend bringing water shoes and a towel, to explore the wadis and swim; and warm layers for Jabel Shams as it gets cold in the mountains.Show more

  This tour was even better than expected, thanks to our great guide, Sayeed! The tour itself gave us a wonderful overview of Oman's beauty but it was Sayeed who made it so outstanding. His personal touch made us feel so welcome & comfortable, the time flew by. A fantastic & fun experience. The vehicle was really comfortable & Sayeed is an expert driver. The ride in the canyon & along the steep mountain road the last 2 days were amazing. We'd highly recommend it.Show more

  Our tour with was absolutely fantastic! Their in-depth knowledge was impressive, and they had a wonderful ability to bring history to life. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a tour guide. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they made sure we had a memorable experience. We would highly recommend anyone visiting.Show more
