    Good tour with several sights and excellent guide and driver and a fun group of travelers. Only negatives were delays in transfer from airport to hotel very late at night and being placed in a smoking room with no ability to change due to hotel being full.

    Great hotels Great transportation Great pretrip question answering by Richard Ramos OK buffet food Biggest issue was that our guide-though I personally liked him and he provided insight when asked-could have made this so much better. From the start: 1. When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk did not have my information on hand, and I had to wait 20 minutes to get checked in after 23 hours of travel. 2. I did not get the welcome kit as outlined in the trip itinerary. There was not no briefing for the trip as outlined on the itinerary. This would have been helpful. 3. The tour did not start at 8-8:30 as stated in the itinerary, and so I had to reach out to people with Grayline. Our guide did not show up until after 9AM. He said that they left a note with the front desk about starting later but I never received it. 4. I've taken Intrepid trips several times and I'm used to guides that brief you and give context on culture, religion, food-you name it. As well as an overview of each site, history, etc. We didn't get any of that. It was hard as we were with an Italian group, and their guide was constantly giving them information while we drove-and we had several hours of driving-to give context, history, etc. Our guide provided minimal information. 5. I resorted to using my Lonely Planet for each place we went to as we were not provided this information from our guide. This is a good quick visit to Oman, and hopefully your guide will provide an enriching experience, as we did not get it.

    We were due to arrive in Oman a few days before the start of the Tour. Suresh, the local representative, was extremely helpful in arranging for our pick up from the airport when we arrived and our accommodation for these preceding days at the hotel where the tour was due to start. We were surprised that we were the only people on the tour, but it had turned out that the main tour at this time was for French speakers, Greyline kindly put on an English speaking tour just for us (at no extra cost). Fahad, our tour guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and great company on the trip. The sites we visited were varied and interesting. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Essentials tour to anyone visiting Oman.

    Oman was a pleasant surprise. I went there without knowing much about the country and left wishing to go back. The tour was very well organized. The food and accommodation options were excellent. The places visited from Muscat to the Wadis, the desert, Nizwa were beautiful. The driver and the guide were very kind and always accommodated any request from the clients. Highly recommended!

    Family We joined lately to the tour, and we were quite tired, but this tour was a perfect introduction to the country Oman. Our guide was kind and had a lot to say about the various parts of the country, the mosque, and took the time to stop for scenic vistas above the fort and palace. We enjoyed the trip to the markets as well. From online chat support to guide, they had a good customer support team. Really recommend this 05 day tour to all.
