Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This was the perfect start to our trip to Muscat. Hayer was bang on time to pick us up and we were whisked off to some lovely sights around the city, all the time Hajer filled us in on her city and Oman life in general. A little shopping in the souk and a couple of delightful local delicacies ended the evening beautifully. I can't recommend Hajer more highly. Thank you!"
"Yousuf was our guide for a day of exploring Muscat and it could not have been better. He arrived at our hotel on time (was flexible to change the meeting point for pick up and drop off at our hotel which was out of the city centre) and provided us with with a local’s guide to his city, including the best spot to see the sunset. He even provided guidance as to the best time to start the tour to make sure we saw the sunset. He wanted to know what wanted to see but Siri gave his local suggestions. A great way to see Muscat at night, which is definitely worth doing. Thanks Yousuf! "
"Highly enjoyable and informative evening tour of Muscat with Yousaf Ali - exactly what we’d hoped for. Yousaf was great at reading his audience and delivering! We’d already seen a good bit of Muscat by day, and also a trip to Nizwa etc, so we were keen to hear about Oman/Muscat’s history and current affairs, mixed with getting a different view of old Muscat by night. Friendly, enthusiastic and informative, a great evening trip and would highly recommend Yousaf to others (in fact we already did to someone else staying in our hotel!)"

"I was delighted to meet Hajer who I had been messaging on the app. She is extremely responsive and helpful even before meeting her! She arrived in a very comfortable 4 x 4 which she drove with great confidence and care all over the city. She is incredibly proud of her country and its people and shared so much of her knowledge with me, including sampling three treats which reflect street food in the city. Seeing Muscat lit up in the dark was a real treat and created a very different atmosphere to what can be experienced during the day, I highly recommend it. There were so many highlights, the beautiful mosque with the golden domes, the Opera House with its glistening white marble and the Sultan’s Palace. However, for me, meeting such an engaging young woman was a highlight, I felt as if I had known her for years such was her warmth and kindness."
"We visited Muscat by night with Hajer yesterday. The tour exceeded our expectations. Not only she showed us the city, but we had a chance to taste some local delights, a very nice touch. We are very happy she'll shows us another side of Oman tomorrow. Thank you!"
"We had a fanatstic afternoon with Hajer. She made us feel like we were old friends just arrived in town. She showed us her favorite places and answered all of our questions about life in Muscat. We took a scenic boat ride from a small beach through a stone arch and looking up at hidden beaches. She also shared some of her favorite cliff-side views of the shoreline. We grabbed coffee and snacks and went to see sunset on a nearby village beach with kids playing nearby. There's too much to share it all! It was a magical day and we'll remember it as a highlight of our visit to Oman. "
"What an unforgettable experience! Hajer was the perfect guide — warm, knowledgeable, and full of local stories that brought Muscat to life after sunset. Every stop was a treat, but the food stole the show: we had the best falafel ever, crispy and bursting with flavor, followed by an incredible grill right at the foot of the sand dunes — a setting straight out of a dream. And to top it all off, Hajer introduced us to the best karak tea ever, rich, spiced, and perfectly sweet. Ending at a wonderful beach close to a mangrove reservation, this evening tour was the perfect mix of culture, flavor, and local charm. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to taste and feel the real Muscat!"
"Hajer took us to cool local spots that we never would have known to go to otherwise. She was very friendly, great for accommodating dietary requirements, and taught us lots about Oman. We're very glad we booked this tour and would highly recommend it! "
"My husband and I had wunderfull evening with Hajer. We visited all beautiful buildings and the beach at evening. Hajer was so friendly. We spoke about life in Oman, sightseeing, food. She knowed everything we liked to know. We eated streetfood at typical place where oman people like to eat. We tasted typical oman tea and food with tamarind which we never tasted before. We saw at the beach beginning fluorescent algas we never saw before. At all a very very good evening. Thank you so much Hajer. Next day we had daytrip with Hajer."
"From the moment we met Hajer, we felt we were hanging out with a friend who was showing us around. She was super friendly and knowledgeable about Muscat. We got to try authentic mashaqeeqs in downtown Muscat as well as saffron tea and the legendary Omani crisps sandwiches. She took us to the souq and to see the Royal Palace as well. But beyond all the lovely food we tried and the landmarks we saw, Hajer gave us a true feel of what Muscat and Omanis are like: kind, fun and truly proud of their country. Thank you for such a lovely evening. We hope to see you again in Muscat or in London!"
