Best trip best tour guide - This is our first trip to Oman and first guided tour in the country. We absolutely fell in love with the mosque, the village, and everything else. We owe everything to our amazing tour guide. He was kind, gentle, friendly, and knowledgeable.

A breath of fresh air from the city's hustle bustle😌 - My 3rd tour with the company and more to go🤎we booked the tour 1 day prior because we really want to go to this Wakan Village and again Star tours never failed to arrange it for us. The tour was challenging for the weak-hearted I guess but we accepted the challenge and finished it to the top, my legs are proud they did it😅.

Star Tours Oman trip to Wakan village - The walk through Wakan village was a delight. The views were stupendous and the way of life there quite an eye opener. The tour followed the advertised program exactly and timings were correct and generous. The driver /guide, Yahya, was friendly, informative and helpful. All in all a very successful day.

Wow really 700 + steps - A wonderful trip we had to see the place of wakan village there’s a lot of mixed plants like grapes and a lot of apricot trees and there’s local people who’s living there some people are selling honey and some vegetables from their plants. To see the views from the top is really amazing.

Nakahal and wakan village - We visited the place of Nakhal fort photo stop outside only because the fort still under renovations then next we had visited the Nakhal hotspring and from there we enjoyed the free foot spa from the small fishes. Then our last visited was the beautiful nature of wakan village. Our guide was helpful to carry our things while we are walking around 700 steps

Wakan Village trip - It was more than700 steps we did to reach the top the higher you get the better views to see. And we had so beautiful photos and videos from the top. You need to save power when you go to visit this wakan village and make sure you have the bottle of water with you. Tired but really worth it to see this village.

Good way to sample interior from Muscat - Good way to view the interior and find a sense of solitude and views. Nakhal fort was undergoing restoration at time of visit so that was disappointing and the springs are nothing special - probably the option of Al Jabrin/Nizwa/Bahla might have been better. Driver Abdul, whilst late in arrival, was upbeat throughout and ready to answer any questions. Organised a good cheap lunch in Nakhal. Vehicle used was good quality 4WD,
