Amazing, Fascinating and Enlightening - A perfect and pleasant way get oriented with the alluring and unusual charming city of Muscat, Oman. Said was an amazing guide. He exuded professionalism throughout the day, shared insights into the Omani culture, shared tips on being street smart and introduced us to some intellects to spread the wisdom and intellect to our curious minds. What stands out is Said's professional demeanor, his flexibility, the kindness he has with kids , the patience with our elderly and his subtly cool and encouragingly positive attitude. A highly recommended city tour day trip :-) Be sure to request Said as your guide :-)

Great tour to see Muscat - We had Saif as our guide and he was amazing in showing us Muscat and various famous spots but most importantly taking time to explain a lot of things and answering all our questions. We were fascinated by the architecture and the stories behind the buildings and would always recommend this tour over a shorter one as it will give you sufficient time to properly explore and learn about Oman and Muscat.
