Excellent trip which was very informative. Rasheed was a fantastic guide and he was very patient with our many questions about the history of -and life in- Oman. A great way to see a different part of the country from the coastal resort we were staying in.

We expected a minibus but were picked up by a limousine with a very competent omani driver and guide, who gave all the information about wonderful Oman in very good english. We saw Nizwa Fort, the new and the old town of Nizwa, Bahla and Jabreen castle.

Great tour, competitively priced compared to other tours in Muscat. Guide Rashid was excellent, very knowledgeable and created a relaxed and enjoyable experience for us. Did not feel under pressure to buy in the souks, a good day out.

Rasheed was a fabulous guide! Well organized, well informed about his country, pleasant, and catered to the clients...in other words a seasoned guide. We can't say enough about Rasheed.

Despite the 40°C heat, we had a great trip to Nizwa. Our dour guide and driver, Raheed, was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We were a small group - just two couples, and Rasheed stopped at several additional interesting sites. We enjoyed his knowledge and his company.

Having sunned on a beach it was good to see more of the interior of Oman. Early pick up and drop off at hotel. l We had a very enthusiastic driver/guide who took us to all the places on the prospectus and some that were not, which made a very full day of 3 big forts, some ancient mud built villages and a Unesco World Heritage site waterway some 2000 yrs old! Camera nearly worn out! There were some obligatory 'commercial' opportunities, part of the whole experience. The only potential downside was a 10 hr day in the heat with 5 km of walking and climbing, fine for me, not so for some others. Our driver, Rashid was well organized with water ad lib. Recommend

A wonderful drive through the lovely countryside of Oman. We visited an enticing date shop, irresistible dates and coffee on hand. Had a good lunch and sampled real Oman. Excellent day out with a guide who answered all our questions about Oman's history and offered insights into the past. An older guide is a good idea as he has experience and a wealth of knowledge.

A two hour drive to see the fort and castle via a freeway. The driver was very nice and answered any questions we had though he was not a tour guide and did not go with us into either the fort or castle. There was ample time to check out some shops if you wanted to and lunch was on our own, the guide did take us to a small restaurant that he said was good. It was a basic small restaurant and the food was ok. We also stopped at an old uninhabited village to look around and for those who wanted to we did a short visit to Bahla Fort

This was a great tour! I really enjoyed our time with Rashid, a real gentleman. The sites were very beautiful and the tour was well-organized and timed so we could see a lot. It was a good, full day.

To be honest rather disappointing and not we expected after reading other reviews. Oman has become a very modern country, but in doing so has swept away all its old world charm. Nizwa Fort has been maintained, but looks sterile. The Nizwa soup has been completely rehoused in a modern building and could be a modern market anywhere in the world. Very little to recommend.
Review by: Stuart L, April 2016
Our day out was very good, we got to see many places and try food in a restaurant that we would not have had the opportunity to experience otherwise. Our guide was very good and knoweldgeable. The only drawback of the whole day was that we were sitting in the very back of the car that was very cramped. This was not so much of a problem on the way to our destinations as we were not in the car very long, but the journey home was very uncomfortable as we had to sit cramped up in the back of the car for over 2 hours. we were in the extra seats in the boot area of the car

The guide Rasheed was very good, patient and we saw and learnt a lot. It was very good value and packed in a lot of sights. An excellent day
Review by: Robert G, March 2016
Though the travelling time is quite long, the end result to see the forts, castle and other sites is well worth it. Plus the air-conditioning was very efficient and welcome._br/_ Rasheed our guide was very knowledgeable and made the visit all the more memorable._br/_ An excellent trip and very good value.

The guide, Rasheed, was wonderful. Very informative, nice, and a good driver. Loved seeing the forts and learning more about Oman. Definitely recommend!
Review by: Yvonne T, September 2015
Excellent value for money with a guide who took plenty of time to talk about the history of his country and the places he took me to. The only disappointment was the closure of Niswa Fort until later in September, but I saw and experienced so many other things that I really can't complain.
