We did a half day Muscat city tour with Omar. He was an extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly guide. We saw all the major sights in Muscat, including the fish market and the beautiful Sultan Qaboos Mosque.

As Muscat is not a very easy city to get around by yourself I strongly recommend a guided tour - and based on our experience Sunshine Tours is a very reliable and professional company.

I cannot praise this company enough!

Booking was easy and Mohammed, the owner, kept us well informed from the first contact.
Our email correspondence was like he's known me as a friend for years..most refreshing.
On the day of our tour our driver and guide, Khalfan, picked us up after arriving at our well hidden apartment block 15 minutes early.
The drive to Wadi Shab was punctuated with Khalfan's local knowledge and informal conversation..just what i want in a guide. He is from the area and knows it intimately.
I never knew the middle East had places this lush and green and the Wadi Shab area is simply stunning.
We had an amazing day with my wife pushing her boundaries for the adventurous!
At the Hawiyat Najm sinkhole Khalfan jumped from the top rim...about 40 metres!
The day ended far too quickly and I would have loved to have stayed a few more days and visited more places with Sunshine Tours.
Khalfan gave us some Omani dates and Frankincense oil that Mohammed wanted us to have as a thank you for booking our trip with them.

It's the little things that matter.

The day after our tour Mohammed contacted me and asked if I needed a ride to the airport and even invited us for dinner!

The people of Oman are renowned for being the most hospitable and friendly in the Middle East and Mohammed and Khalfan from Sunshine Tours are top class ambassadors for their country.

Fantastic service from a friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious company..we will definitely be back in Oman soon and would not hesitate for a second to recommend Sunshine Tours as a preferred supplier of top quality excursions.

My sister and I booked a private 5-day tour of Oman with Sunshine Tours and are very pleased with how it went. Mohammed was very responsive in building an itinerary and all communication before our trip, and our guide, his brother Khalid, was knowledgeable and personable the entire time. This is an all-Omani company and they are clearly passionate about their country. Service is also top-notch: Mohammed even invited us to dinner while we were in Muscat, Khalid took us to lunch at his house on our last day, and we were picked up at the airport even though we weren't beginning the tour for three days. Truly above and beyond.

We got to see a great variety of sights: sea, desert, mountains, wadis. During the tour, accommodations were basic but clean, the 4WD was clearly well-kept, and all three meals a day were included (not the case with other companies, which also often charged more for similar itineraries). One more nice touch: Sunshine did not require payment until departure. I checked with a couple of other companies that wanted me to wire a substantial sum as a deposit. I wouldn't have a problem paying a deposit with a credit card, but was uncomfortable wiring so much overseas without any buyer's protections on my end.

Their website focuses mostly on shorter tours, but definitely also contact Sunshine if you're interested in a longer tour. They were fantastic.

We were arriving in Muscat by cruise ship for 2 days and were keen to explore what Muscat had to offer both in the poet and surrounding countryside. we settled on a tour of Wadi Shab. (See separate review). I emailed several companies and Sunshine Tours shone through from their quick and informative responses to my questions and although Mohammad (the company owner) was already booked for the day required he assured us that Khaflan would look after us (see separate review of Wadi Shab). Sunshine Tours care passionately about their clients and their country, and are keen to share their local knowledge, traditions and genuine friendship. If you are going to Muscat or the surrounding area, contact Sunshine Tours and experience their professional, trustworthy and friendly service for yourself - you'll not be disappointed.

My daughter and I booked two day tours with Mohamed last week out of Muscat and it was perfection. From the first email I sent him in September until he sadly deposited us at the Muscat airport for our return trip home...there was not a single misstep. Mohamed responded immediately to my emails, adjusting and gladly accommodating us as we changed our minds about our 'must see' sights several times.

Mohamed goes above and beyond any tour guide we've ever had...in fact, I have not written reviews on tour guides in the past because I have been waiting for this kind of perfection. He listens, entertains, informs, and genuinely cares about our happiness during the tour. And the biggest surprise of all came at the end...he had invited us to dinner at his home with his lovely family - wonderful wife and 5 adorable children...he had found out it was my daughters birthday and had alerted his family. They surprised her with an incredible homemade cake, balloons, candles...the works. All topped off with an amazing meal. If you want to experience the heart of Oman...Mohamed with Sunshine Tours is the way to go...But...if you are not able to book Mohamed himself, not to worry...he personally cares for each tour that goes out of his company. We met several guides while touring and each was as warm and genuine as Mohamed...You can't go wrong with Sunshine Tours.
