Jacqueline
Asked on August 31st, 2024I am interested in a private tour of Oman, for two persons (one room), starting on 28.12.2024 until 04.01.2025. Unfortunately, I could not find anything available for these dates on the website.
Explore!Operator•Written September 2024Unfortunately we at Explore do not offer private tours for 2 people. We can only offer our group tours.

Asked on August 27th, 2024Do you have your 8 passenger minimum? I am a solo traveler interested in twin share.
- Explore!Operator•Written August 2024
on our 02 Feb 25 Mountains, Deserts and Coast of Oman trip we currently have 3 passengers booked. This date is a guaranteed departure and we would be able to operate it with a minimum of 4 passengers. We already have a male passenger booked to share - so you would have someone to share with.

Traveler•Written August 2024The tour was scheduled to use a minibus NOT a minivan. Is this still the mode of travel?
- Explore!Operator•Written August 2024
The mode of transport for this trip would be a small coach (maximum number of passengers we would take is 16). If we ended up with a smaller number - say 4 or 6 passengers it is more like the mode of transport would be a Minibus. Whatever the group size - we will make sure passengers will be comfortable for the road journeys.
