    · May 2nd, 2025
    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.

    Riyami was an excellent tour guide, I was really fearful of swimming and he swam with me to make sure I am safe and he was very caring of us throughout the trip. I loved Oman it was beautiful experience and would love to come back.
