Our tour with was absolutely fantastic! Their in-depth knowledge was impressive, and they had a wonderful ability to bring history to life. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a tour guide. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they made sure we had a memorable experience. We would highly recommend anyone visiting.
Jewels of Oman: An 8-Day Private Tour - J
John • traveled in June
We looked in Oman as much as we could see in 8 days and of course thanks to GidOman . Excursions (except for the sea) were held on the Toyota 4x4 car, no matter how tired we were for the whole day, getting into a clean car and moving on, we felt at home. None of our requests were ignored, we did not have time to buy local spices, so our guide brought them to the hotel the day before departure and simply presented them. All excursions are full of information about the country and local beauties, the guide brought us to such beautiful viewpoints where we didn’t meet anyone else, I think that no one really takes them there, this is his personal initiative to show everything possible and impossible in such a short time to give the maximum idea of the beauties of Oman. . Impressions go off scale, so if you decide to get to know the country better and want to travel around the country and enjoy the trip, we advise you to use the services of this travel company, you will return home full of the best memories and the greatest satisfaction from the trip.

Unfortunately there was some really bad rain (highly rare) and the Sultan passing away which caused a few things to be closed but we made do, and got to see a lot of the country side which was great. Our driver was highly educated and always answers to our questions.
