The tour guide was amazing and I am exceptionally grateful for his help in understanding Omani life. The only thing I would say is that to change a booking with your company is quite a challenge

Our guide was very good! He contacted us to let us know the meeting location and met us a few minutes early. He was an excellent driver and helped us get a wonderful guide at the Grand Mosque. He showed us expertly around the sites of Muscat. Thank you for a beautiful day!
