    Review of: Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole Private Full Day Tour
    A must do In Oman
    The tour was better than we had hoped for, the Wadi was just wow!
    Kur guide Ilyas was brilliant he added to the Brilliant experience, he was certain to always caution us about safety and lay our expectations before hand, warning us what spot may be slippery or how much further we had to go. He was prepared with drinks, friendly, had great knowledge and made us feel safe.

    Review of: Dolphin Watching & Snorkeling
    Fantastic and thrilling experience!!
    A 3 hour trip worth an experience of life. The guide and staff are amazing people and know every bit of the sea.
    Spotted dolphins in plenty who were diving up and down in the sea as if they already knew that they had a Show!!
    The Snorkeling experience is amazing and should not be missed. My daughter and wife who doesn't even know swimming were dipping in the sea like professionals.
    We would recommend everyone to explore at Qantab tourism and we are sure each one of you will have an experience of a life time!!!!!
    Thank you Qantab tourism.

    Review of: Day Trip to Nizwa, Jabal Akhdar (Green Mountain) & Birkat Al Moz
    Excellent tour of Oman’s top historical sites with top tour guide !
    My friend and I had a wonderful experience with Abdallah as our tour guide to Nizwa fort, Jabal Akhdar, and Birkat al Moz for the whole day! He was very knowledgeable of history, had excellent English, and was very kind at multiple moments - going well above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we were comfortable. Abdallah was also very patient with all of our questions and let us go at our own pace to take pictures and shop at the Nizwa Market :-) We will definitely suggest him to friends and colleagues who are hoping to visit Oman. This tour was well worth the expense for the high quality, stellar customer service, and convenience it afforded us !

    Review of: Private Full-Day Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole Tour
    Highlight of Oman!
    The trip was amazing. Mohammad our guide was fantastic and I cannot recommend him enough. He has been running this business for 17 years and he knows everything about Omani history. The highlight was Wadi Shab where we got adventurous and did lots of swimming and cliff jumping. So beautiful I was in awe!! The hike was hot but not too bad with water!! If you aren’t a strong swimmer it is fine because you can use a life jacket.

    Thank you so much! I would recommend this tour any day!

    He even help us arrange another tour and helped us find a driver for the next day. They went above and beyond.

    Review of: Half-Day Muscat City Tour
    Tour Guide, Salem, Half-Day Excellence!
    I have written hundreds of reviews and believe in the power of feedback: I hope you find my review helpful.

    This is the perfect first-day introduction to both Muscat and Oman and our guide, Salem, was the personification of hospitality, kindness and excellence.

    The best part of the tour for us was the views atop the Mutrah Fort. Just spectacular views and well worth the stairs to get there.

    We personally skipped the museum as was our choice.

    The Grand Mosque was amazing. Stunning.

    I cannot say enough about Salem. He was the perfect first-day ambassador as a tour guide. He put us at ease and allowed us to go with the flow. Well done, Salem!

    1/2 day tour is perfect for your first full-day in Muscat.

    Review of: Private Muscat City Tour
    It was ok…
    The Grand Mosque is not to be missed! It was breathtaking! Unfortunately there was no wifi in the van, as promised.. the Opera House was meh, and the Souk is really just a lot of Indian traders with Chinese products. Ilyas was great, but if you’re short of time - just go see the Mosque.

    Review of: Full-Day Private Wahiba Sands Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Tour
    Fantastic day trip with Hamood!
    We booked the full day private tour to Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands. The coordinator Roda was very responsive and helpful during the booking process. Our guide Hamood was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. It was very very hot (entirely our fault for visiting during peak summer) and Hamood tailored the itinerary to focus on our main interest areas to help us manage the weather. He took a lot of fantastic pictures of my husband and I and ensures we had the best, most comfortable experience. I would highly recommend both Hamood as a guide and Star Tours as a company.

    Amazing and magical desert experience
    The desert and wadi trip was truly fantastic. I fully enjoyed the day. It was one of the best days in my life and I am very grateful to have made the tour. Hamood from Sunshine Tours who accompanies me, is a great tour guide. He is very friendly, laid back, talkative and he can tell you many interesting things and details about Oman. Thanks also to Mohammed from Sunshine Tours! I highly recommend Sunshine Tours for desert safari trips.
    Shukran.

    Wonderful tour + spots
    Sunshine tours was fantastic! We are so happy to have found them. Comfortable transport (car had snacks, water, and beverages), very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable guide, and great spots in both Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar that we otherwise would never have known to search for. We were truly treated and welcomed like guests.

    Review of: Mystical Muscat
    Awesome tour of Muscat
    This was an outstanding tour and a highlight of our trip to the Middle East. Valentina reached out to us over WhatsApp in advance of our trip to answer any questions. Our tour guide was wonderful. Zaher was very knowledgeable about Oman and was able to answer all of our questions. He even brought some cake that his wife made for us to snack on. We saw the Qaboos Mosque, the Royal Opera House, the Souq, Corniche, Fish Market, and Al-Alam Palace. Zaher even stopped a few times on the route to let me snap a few photos. The vehicle was comfortable, roomy, and well air-conditioned. Everything was right on time. I can't recommend this tour enough.
