What a great choice to take a 3 hour guided tour of Muscat on a long stopover. We had our visas but it was not easy to leave the airport where we had a hotel room. We made it happen & Saif of Sunshine Tours greeted us & took us on an amazing visit of the city & surrounds. Now, we want to go back for a longer visit. There is a lot to see.

We had scheduled day tours of Muscat and Salalah and was in Dubai awaiting our cruise on March 12th. We had private tours with Oman Tours reserved. They were wonderful in cancellations! We had to ASAP return to USA first plane available due to our government request or be quarantined at end of cruise in Europe. We will return next year to finish our tours of Oman and will request Sarah to help us again with our plans. She is excellent. Thanks again and see you next year!

Our guide Jamal was extremely professional and was knowledgeable with the sites we visited. He was very kind, polite, humble and treated us as royalty. We were thoroughly impressed with Muscat sights and sounds. The reason was Jamal who made our visit very enjoyable. Thank you Jamal I recommend you to any one who visits Muscat as a tour guide. Five Stars. Nasim Juma

I have just returned from my 10-day trip to Oman and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to Khalifa and Abdullah, my great tour guides! They made my stay there truly unforgettable! I’m a female traveling solo. I was on a tight budget but Khalifa and Abdullah were able to work things out to accommodate me. They suggested the itinerary for me, drove me safely around the locations, provided me with assistance with an excellent choice of lodging as well as variety of local eating opportunities. But most important, they put their hearts and love to their country in everything they did! They are both honest, respectful, reliable, patient, very attentive, accommodating, funny and friendly. Their knowledge of the geography and history of Oman is immense and truly mind blowing. They went above and beyond to make me feel safe and welcome in this beautiful country. Moreover, their hospitality cannot be measured; I was honored to share lunch with their families in their private homes! I don’t think I would have such great opportunity to immerse myself in the history, beauty, and hospitality of Oman if it wasn’t for Khalifa and Abdullah. I feel very fortunate to have met them and used their impeccable services. I highly, again, highly recommend them to anyone who desires to have a true experience in this amazing country!!

Our guide did not speak English well, so we would have been better off just hiring a taxi to take us to these places.

We have been advised with great tips from Tahar to discover Oman. He advised us to go to the nice spots and we enjoyed it! We highly recommend him!

Took this tour during our visit to Muscat,and cannot rate highly enough. We were picked up at the exact time at the hotel and saw all the main sights of Muscat. Our guide, Mazin, was very knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to tell us about all the sights we were visiting and the history of the country. It was really good to have the local knowledge on a tour like this. We saw all the main sights, including the Grand Mosque, the Royal Palace and the Souk. In the souk, the guide showed us a number of shops to buy local items. Overall this was an excellent tour, and showed us round the city in a way we wouldn't be able to ourselves and represented very good value for money. Highly recommend!

I came to Oman and was not sure what to do as a single person traveling. I found Basim Al Habsi through a referral from another guide. Basim is kind and funny. He knows everything about Oman and goes out of his way so that everything is special for his guests. You will never feel so safe or cared for. The Omanis are special people. It really wouldn't matter where I was in the world because the real gift of going to Oman was meeting Basim. He is the best.

Our guide was abdullah. He is very humorous and proactive. He gave a detailed and interesting guide of the nizwa fort, and showed us many viewpoints atop jebel shams. He then brought us to extra places to experience more of nizwa, and drove us to our dinner place at the end of our tour. He cheerfully extended our tour from 4pm to 6plus pm.

This private tour was a highlight of our 4 day trip to Oman. Our tour guide Juma picked us up from the hotel on time. His English was great and was a fantastic tour guide. He went out of his way to ensure our experience was first class. Water was provided throughout the day. We stopped at a local coffee shop and had coffee with the locals and introduced to Omani sweets. Juma also game through the Nizwa souk and fort with us to show us around. He chose a restaurant for lunch which was typical Omani style. And suggested the camel meat. This was all included. Very good. The drive up Jabal shams was great and he parked at a great location and made us Omani coffee and served traditional omani sweets. This was a highlight of the trip. Drinking our coffee with a great view. Highly recommend this tour and the tour company. It may be a little more expensive than other tours but the personal touches has left us with great memories and a friendship.

Very fascinating and detailed tour. Friendly and competent guide. Would definitely recommend to tourists.

I spent a great few days in Oman seeing the sights of Muscat City, shopping in the Souks, hiking and swimming in Wadi Shab, and visiting Nizwa Fort, the Bimmah Sinkhole, and the Jebel Akhdar Mountains. Oman is a wonderful, safe, and welcoming country with both urban sights to take in and natural places to visit such as the mountains, wadis, beaches, and deserts. Initially prior to booking my trip, as a solo female traveler, I was a little apprehensive about visiting Oman on my own. However, once I met my guide, Basim, at the airport I knew I was in good hands. Prior to booking the trip he was extremely prompt in replying to my email inquiries and in arranging an itinerary with my input; while in Oman he was flexible as I arrived half a day late and he rearranged my tours so that I could still fit everything I wanted into my visit, his car was spacious and clean, he was punctual, informative, hospitable, humorous, and entertaining. I am an avid traveler, having traveled to nearly 70 countries, I have met many guides along the way, and I can say with all sincerity that Basim is one of the best guides I have come across. I would highly recommend visiting Oman to all my family and friends, and if they do so I will surely be giving them Basim's contact information. A 5 star experience!!

Spent a lovely day in Wadi Shab with fabulous guide Abdullah. Really enjoyed our day and the company made sure everything was provided for us including life jackets for nervous swimmers. We also did a dolphin and snorkelling trip the next day and again everything was organised to perfection. Would highly recommend this company for their organisation and helpfulness.

Grand Canyon in Al Hajar Mountains is one of the best places in Oman. The place is well know for its natural beauty and its a good Sunrise point [better on 4 am]. I recommend to drive to Jebel Shams in a 4x4 vehicle to get an incredible driving experience. Anyway there are separate routes for 2WD vechiles. Just need to ask some local people to confirm best route before going.

We had a short, but very enjoyable time in Oman. (We arrived on a cruise ship and were in Salalah for only about six hours.) Hassan was a marvelous guide, helping us to understand the culture and traditions of Oman, and also of Islam with our visit to the beautiful mosque. Everything worked out exactly as arranged, we got to see quite a bit of Salalah, and even got to try camel meat, a delicacy not available here in California!
