Best Guide in Oman! - Mazen was our Oman guide for two days - we visited the Grand Mosque and two Wadis one day and then went 9 miles offshore the next to snorkel coral reefs the second day, along with his brother who captained the boat. These incredible, authentic experiences were complimented by stops along the drives for tea and other local only side excursions, as Mazen shared cultural and historical history. He was excellent and highly recommend him as your guide to Oman!

Awesome first trip to Muscat-Oman - Mazin has a great demeanor and is a very kind person. He was punctual, patient and professional. He took us to visit all the major sites and even prolonged our tour when we ran a little bit late during our visit to the national museum. We highly recommend him and look forward to utilizing his service in the future.

Wonderful Muscat City tour with Mazin, would highly recommend! - We had a wonderful tour of Muscat City with Mazin. His punctuality, knowledge of all places and hidden gems highly impressed us. As he is personable and speaks very good English there were no communication issues. He really looked after our comfort throughout the whole day we spent with him, taking us to see the famous markets, mountain, fort, pomegranate orchards, and several other city landmarks. We would definitely go back and use his service to discover other places in the future and would highly recommend his services.

Oman is a magical place ❤️ - We had a great time on the city tour, and I would strongly recommend this service. We asked the tour guide to show us the real Oman, and he was very accommodating. I had the chance to try local foods and learnt their culture. He was very helpful as a local guide, gave us great suggestions and recommendations. I would definitely use his service again.
