    I have recently done 5 excursions with Tour Radar / Gid Oman. The organization of each tour was excellent. Communication was clear and prompt prior to the tours. The backend staff were helpful with my questions and concerns. I had excellent guides for different tours. Big shout out to Jamal - city tour, Mohammed - Wahiba & Wadi Bani tour, Abdullah - Nizwa and Jabal Akhdar tour, and Muhannad - Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole. Two thumbs up to all the guides. Would engage with them again in future tours.

    I visited Oman for a short period in March 2025. I booked daily tours from Muscat with Gidoman to some attractions in Oman, including city tour in Muscat, fantastic Wadi Bani Khalid swiming in warm waters, stunning sunset in the desert, visiting historic city of Nizwa, views of the green terraces in Jebel Akhdar, Bimmah Sinkhole and the highlight of the trip in Wadi Shab with and beautiful canyon and natural crystal pools. For the grand finale I took a boat trip to the Daymaniyat Islands, I could not imagine this paradise near Muscat, I have never seen so many turtles in my life! Communication with GidOman was smooth, every day I received a message with the pick-up times from the hotel and also the contact details of the guide. On each tour I had a different guide - Jamal, Mohammed, Qais, Mazin, Roman, they were all extremely polite, helpful and very knowledgeable about Omani culture. Despite the Ramadan period, the guides always made an effort to find places to buy food for lunch, as most restaurants are closed during this period. Transfers from the airport to the hotel were also arranged by GidOman. Oman is an incredible country, with nature, history, culture and extremely welcoming people. I really recommend Gidoman to discover the wonders of Oman!
