"Ali was a great local guide. He was knowledgeable and adapted the tour to my interests. The last highlight was a great seafood dinner at a local restaurant - so fresh and very reasonable price…highly recommend his services. "

"Hajer is an exceptional local who took us to a local street food area that we would never have found or even thought about trying, the food was amazing, then off to a local Syrian outlet for the best Falafel ever. After the tour Hajer recomended a locals fish retaurant near the Souk that was tasty and such good value for money. Hajer is a great local and we are looking forward to having more adventures with her when we return to Muscat"

"Hajer picked us up from the hotel and provided a fantastic tour of Muscat passing on het vast knowledge of the city. We visited all the main places of interest, Grand Mosque, Fish Market and Souk, Sultans Palace, Opera House, Hajer even took us into a Mall to find some shops. At the end of the tour we wanted some lunch, so Hajer took us to a locals Turkish fish restaurant, helped us order and joined us for lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for Hajer. A fantastic day with a fantastic local lady "

"Great half day city tour with Alwood in a comfortable car. We enjoyed seeing Muscat with her and she was accommodating in adapting tour to our family’s needs. So helpful to have her assistance in the souk to help on negotiating better prices! She even pointed out some turtles and big fish from the Corniche! "

"Great knowledge and expertise. Friendly and nice slow pace not rushed at all. Fascinating chatting about architecture, history, food and culture. No pre rehearsed spiel just telling us about things that interested us. Highly recommend "

"We enjoyed the company of Alwaad during our Muscat tour. She was knowledgeable, easy going and very friendly person. Alwwad is super organized and our experience was that what we saw and what she said was in the wright order. Because we met her our first day she recommended some things to to. That's why we rented a car to go to see some nature in the mountains. She even got us a recepie of halva. Thank you Alwaad to spend a family friday with us. "

"We went to Wadi Shab with Alwaad. It's was amazing ! Nature is very well preserved, it's gorgeous. It's quiet and peacful. Alwaad is lovely, kind and funny. She is very outgoing. We felt like we were part of her family. Thanks to her, we were able to really discover Omani culture. She is very attentive and adapts to our pace and needs. She speaks English very well and her driving is perfect! We had a wonderful day with her, we didn't notice the time passing. We recommend it 100%."

"We had an absolutely amazing tour in Muscat! My husband and I learned so much about the country’s history, culture, and everyday life. Our guides, Alwaad and Ahmed, were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel so personal. We visited the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, enjoyed the views along the Mutrah Corniche, and wandered through the atmospheric Mutrah Souq with its spices, incense, and traditional shops. We also stopped by Al Alam Palace and the old forts, where we learned a lot about Oman’s history, culture, and daily life. Our guides Alwaar and Achmed were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, so we always felt comfortable and could ask all our questions. It was a perfect introduction to Muscat and to Oman, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip — we’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Muscat!"

"Alwaad and Ahmed were absolutely exceptional as our tour guides during our first visit to Oman. From the very beginning, they demonstrated incredible flexibility, tailoring the itinerary to suit our interests and adjusting the time spent at each location. This was especially appreciated since I was traveling with teenage boys who have shorter attention spans, and they made sure the experience was engaging for everyone. Their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort and cleanliness of their vehicle, which made the journey between destinations relaxing and enjoyable. Beyond that, their knowledge of Oman’s history, culture, and hidden gems added so much depth to our trip, turning every stop into a memorable experience. If you’re planning a visit to Oman, I cannot recommend Alwaad and Ahmed highly enough. Their warmth, adaptability, and commitment to creating a personalized experience truly set them apart. Booking a tour with them is the perfect way to discover the beauty of Oman with confidence and ease."

"We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Muscat with Hajer today. It was like hanging out with a friend, but a friend who knows the city really, really well and has a great sense of humor. We wanted to try camel for lunch; she found us a delicious camel-serving restaurant. We wanted to stop by a supermarket to grab a few sundries; no problem. And Muscat itself is a gem. Do not hesitate to hire Hajer - you'll be really glad you did. We're already planning to come back and hire her again."
