We had a wonderful day with Ahmed. He was great taking us to the sites and telling us stories. He was funny and has a great sense of humor. He also adjusted the schedule based on how we were feeling that day since it was super hot. Nizwa was amazing and the views from the mountain were great. Highly recommended.

Khalid took great care of me and was happy to change up the programme when requested. He provided interesting information, showed the most important and exciting sites, and overall made the experience very fun. He also took great care in ensuring I had enough water in the hot sun, and even carried my bag when I bought souvenirs. Great experience, I recommend Khalid's tour to anyone and everyone.

We had the best time with the best tour guide Amer from Sunshine Tours! He picked us from our hotel in Muscat and we drove down to Nizwa. On the way Amer told us about what we were seeing and a lot of the great history of Oman. We visited the Souq and he gave us great tips on what to try like the dates, coffee and Halwa (which are a must to try). Even though we had a 3 year old toddler with us he helped us every step of the way from picking the buggy to looking after my daughter in the shade at the Nizwa fort whilst he let me and my husband take pictures in the beautiful spots. He knew all the secret hidden gems for pictures. His generosity was such the he even paid for our Omani bread and bought me and my daughter water! (He also had a stack that he kept offering us in the car) We then made our way to the green mountain - Jebel Akdher which again he was so informative about the views and took us to a beautiful picturesque spot where he took some love picture of us. We ended the afternoon by having some beautiful lunch at a restaurant which he again suggest to sit upstairs to take in the beautiful views of the mountain. As we hadn’t prayed he took us to pray in a lovely masjid near by and then passed by the area of the water irrigation system which was a cute little stream which my daughter got to dip her feet in and enjoy the coolness of the mini waterfall! This experience wouldn’t have been the same without Amer and we appreciate all his help and generosity towards me and my family. We will definitely be coming back to Oman and will keep in touch with Amer to book again ❤️ P.s very very hot in May

Amer from sunshine tours was excellent. From minute one he gave us a fantastic experience. On the journey he told us different things about muscat and when we arrived at nizwa souq he couldn't be more helpful. He even bought my wife and daughter some Omani bread whilst I was away for a few minutes. He then took us to nizwa Fort and after the guide finished, he continued to take us around the Fort and tell us more details. Once we arrived at jebel akhdar it was breathtaking. Beautiful views of the green mountain. We went to eat at the layali restaurant which was tasty and very price friendly. All in all this was money well spent and a huge thanks to Amer and sunshine tours. will definitely be visiting Oman again and asking for Amer and sunshine for our next adventure.
