The guide I had was very knowledgeable and flexible, we ended up spending more time in the mosque than he had intended. It is a great and economical way to see the city, especially considering taxi costs. I would definitely recommend it.

I had a lovely tour guide who took me around Muscat. The capital is tiny and only takes few hours to view, but the tour covers all the most popular sights.

An excellent tour and good value for money. The driver/guide, Rashid, was punctual, polite, informative and good company. The tour was comfortable and extremely interesting taking in the Grand Mosque, Muttrah markets and souq and Muscat including the royal palace and museum of Omani life. There was plenty of time to view it all.

Great tour! We had a lovely tour guide, who was a local and knew everything about the city. He made sure we stopped off at all the sights and take pictures. I loved the tour of the mosque. He spoke great English and knew every answer to the questions. Great trip and brilliant value for money. We had such an enjoyable day!

Very knowledgeable driver guide who also allowed plenty of time to absorb our surroundings. Gave a great insight to what Muscat had to offer a tourist and allowed us to select our way around Muscat on our own during the following days.

It's very hot, and we traveled during Ramadan which made things a little difficult. But the city tour itself was very good.

The trip needed more narrative, explanations of Omani life, history and culture.
