- Delosrivers0 contributionsExceptional Experience with Waleed and Star Tours OmanMy experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman has been nothing short of exceptional! His warmth and genuine friendliness made me feel so welcome throughout the entire experience.

We visited the place of Nakhal fort photo stop outside only because the fort still under renovations then next we had visited the Nakhal hotspring and from there we enjoyed the free foot spa from the small fishes. Then our last visited was the beautiful nature of wakan village. Our guide was helpful to carry our things while we are walking around 700 steps

Thank you so much Bro Mohammed … my colleagues (senior ladies) and of course the young ones that came with us yesterday had a great time… it was an adventure for the senior ones since this was their first time to go out of muscat since they came 35 years ago😅 they could not believe that they have missed a lot in oman…
Despite not reaching the top (all have knee problems and co morbidity 😜) it was still fun… the bonding among friends was more stronger, non stop stories and laughter vibrated in Wakan…
Rashid and Moosa were excellent guides and are considered a family…. Rashid took care of the young ones and Moosa stayed with the seniors…. He never left us one bit same with Rashid with the young ones… we really appreciate how they took care of us….
Now the seniors are eager to visit other places and have fun..🤩
All of these will not be possible without your help my friend 😊 Thank you so much❤️

Good way to view the interior and find a sense of solitude and views. Nakhal fort was undergoing restoration at time of visit so that was disappointing and the springs are nothing special - probably the option of Al Jabrin/Nizwa/Bahla might have been better. Driver Abdul, whilst late in arrival, was upbeat throughout and ready to answer any questions. Organised a good cheap lunch in Nakhal. Vehicle used was good quality 4WD,

Hello dear Roy,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important and we rely on hearing from our guests to ensure we’re doing a great job.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I appreciate you reaching out and am sorry if you felt disappointed for the Nakhal Fort but from the beginning dear when we received your booking with us we mentioned that the Nakhal Fort it will be a photo stop outside only because it’s under renovation.
About the Nakhal Hot spring there’s something special if you try to swim because that fresh water is coming from the mountains and it’s a little bit warm, and there’s also natural Fish spa you can just sit on the bank pop your feet into the warm water and let the tiny fish eat away the dead skin on your feet. And this is one of the best Hotspring in Oman and the people they swim when they get sick to relax their body, it’s also good for the people who have skin problem.
I will be sure to pass your feedback on, and we’ll work on improving our customer service in order to meet your expectations in the future.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with Star Tours Oman– we take all reviews seriously and will use them in our continuous improvement efforts!
Regards,
Star Tours Oman

The walk through Wakan village was a delight. The views were stupendous and the way of life there quite an eye opener. The tour followed the advertised program exactly and timings were correct and generous. The driver /guide, Yahya, was friendly, informative and helpful. All in all a very successful day.

It was more than700 steps we did to reach the top the higher you get the better views to see. And we had so beautiful photos and videos from the top. You need to save power when you go to visit this wakan village and make sure you have the bottle of water with you. Tired but really worth it to see this village.
