Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was so interesting! Afterwards we were treated to free literature, dates and tea.
What a nice tour! A small group of 3 felt like It was a family outing. Our tour guide, Mahommed, was very polite and knows a lot of the city. He even helped me bargaining at the Souq. There was no rush, the clients determined the pace of the tour. Our van was in good condition, lots of space. I especially liked the karak chai that was offered to us towards the end of the tour. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing tour discovering Muscat. The beautiful Opera House, Mutrah Fort, Museum and Palace, and the incredible Muscat Mosque. It has to be seen to be believed. Our tour guide Mahmoud was so informative, and gave us a wonderful introduction to the history of Muscat. Mahmoud is an exceptional guide. A great ambassador for his country. We enjoyed this tour very much.
