"Hajer picked us up from the hotel and provided a fantastic tour of Muscat passing on het vast knowledge of the city. We visited all the main places of interest, Grand Mosque, Fish Market and Souk, Sultans Palace, Opera House, Hajer even took us into a Mall to find some shops. At the end of the tour we wanted some lunch, so Hajer took us to a locals Turkish fish restaurant, helped us order and joined us for lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for Hajer. A fantastic day with a fantastic local lady "

"Great half day city tour with Alwood in a comfortable car. We enjoyed seeing Muscat with her and she was accommodating in adapting tour to our family’s needs. So helpful to have her assistance in the souk to help on negotiating better prices! She even pointed out some turtles and big fish from the Corniche! "

"We enjoyed the company of Alwaad during our Muscat tour. She was knowledgeable, easy going and very friendly person. Alwwad is super organized and our experience was that what we saw and what she said was in the wright order. Because we met her our first day she recommended some things to to. That's why we rented a car to go to see some nature in the mountains. She even got us a recepie of halva. Thank you Alwaad to spend a family friday with us. "

"We had an absolutely amazing tour in Muscat! My husband and I learned so much about the country’s history, culture, and everyday life. Our guides, Alwaad and Ahmed, were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel so personal. We visited the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, enjoyed the views along the Mutrah Corniche, and wandered through the atmospheric Mutrah Souq with its spices, incense, and traditional shops. We also stopped by Al Alam Palace and the old forts, where we learned a lot about Oman’s history, culture, and daily life. Our guides Alwaar and Achmed were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, so we always felt comfortable and could ask all our questions. It was a perfect introduction to Muscat and to Oman, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip — we’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Muscat!"

"We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Muscat with Hajer today. It was like hanging out with a friend, but a friend who knows the city really, really well and has a great sense of humor. We wanted to try camel for lunch; she found us a delicious camel-serving restaurant. We wanted to stop by a supermarket to grab a few sundries; no problem. And Muscat itself is a gem. Do not hesitate to hire Hajer - you'll be really glad you did. We're already planning to come back and hire her again."

"This private tour in Muscat was an exceptional experience. The guide tailored the itinerary perfectly to our interests, making the tour feel truly personal and relaxed rather than scripted. We explored both iconic sights and hidden gems we would never have found on our own. What really stood out was the guide’s warmth, deep local knowledge, and genuine passion for Omani culture and daily life. There was never any rush, and every moment felt thoughtful and authentic. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an individual, personal, and memorable way to experience Muscat."

"Today Yousuf showd us Musqat. We arrived this morning in Oman and Yousuf was so kind to allow us a late start. He drived us arround with his SUV and showed us the highlights of Musqat and explained us all about the history. His English is very good making it easy to talk with him. He even visited Europe a few times so he can easily discuss the cultural differences between the regions. He is fun and very flexible in mindset. Thx. Yousuf 😀 br Paul from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 "

"Hajer was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. She picked me up at my hotel on time and the tour was fascinating. She took the opportunity to show me the turist attractions but also spent time showing me the normal activities of an Omani person. Her music playlist rocks, too. Thank you, Hajer. It was a sincere pleasure to spend the day with you. Do not hesitate selecting Hajer as your tour guide. You won't be disappointed. "

"We have used With Locals in Rome and Athens, and they do not disappoint! So it was a given that we booked our tour of Muscat city, a fascinating place. Nasser picked us up and we drove around this fabulous clean, well laid out city, visiting the Sultan grand mosque, which was incredible and well worth a visit! The lovely staff helped me with fitting my Abaya (dress) and lihaf (headscarf) , which I hired as dress ettiequte is a must for woman and men (long pants, long sleeve shirt) in Oman and of course, should be respected. We visited the local fish market and grocery market in Matrah, the Matrah Souq (market - buy your tee shirts in here not outside on street - better pricing), old Muscat where you will stop at the Sultan's palace and the Portuguese Fort from outside. We choose not to go into either the Royal Opera House or Museum (due to travel tiredness). Nasser took us to a lovely local restaurant, Ramssa, the Omani food was really good. Nasser took time to explain and answer any of our many questions about Muscat. Great tour, thoroughly enjoyed the content and of course our lovely Guide."

"We had such a nice experience with Alwaad! A whole day of individual exploring with an authentic Omani taste. Alwaad showed us around Muscat and Muttrah, cared very individually to our interests and gave us a unique insight into Omani way of life. She gave us valuable tips for our following trip and knew the best places and stories. She went out of her way with her hospitality and showing us around. Thank you, Alwaad! We loved every minute of it!"
