        Exceptional Experience with Waleed and Star Tours Oman
        My 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. I’m incredibly grateful for how he shared insights into the culture, pointing out special details that someone new to it might easily overlook. It’s been such a valuable and enriching journey, and I can’t recommend Star Tours Oman and Waleed enough for their incredible talent and compassionate approach. Thank you so much, Waleed!

        Amazing Day Tour to Nizwa and Jebel Shams
        Had a great tour of Nizwa and Jebel Shams. The views from Jebel Shams were stunning and is called the Grand Canyon of Oman. Aziz was an amazing guide and drove extremely well to get us to the right spots in challenging terrain.

        Fantabulour Nizwa and Jeble Akhdar
        I booked this trip thru viator and my Tour Guide was Khalid. He was spot on time at 0900 and we visited the published itinerary which included Nizwa fort- Souq, Jebel Akhdar, the village and lastly the beautiful scenes of Jeble Akhdar. Khalid was extremely polite, knowledgeable and i enjoyed every minute of his company. He did not rush and we had a relaxing day. He has a thorough knowledge of the history and it was interesting to know a lot of things whech were new to me. He was a pleasure to have a company. I strongly recommend Khalid as a tour guide 10/10.

        Love Oman - fabulous tour!
        We spent 2 days with Khalid Alraqadi as our guide. Today We visited Opera House NIZWA souq NIZWA fort Aljabal AlAkhdar (mountain) Birkat AlMuz It was excellent. Khalid made our journey fabulous with his kind spirit, knowledge, suggestions. He took us to places where the tour buses don’t go and we saw scenery and sites that were amazing. He also took a lot of pictures which he shared with us. We would highly recommend Star Tours Oman and Khalid!!!

        Excellent tour of Oman
        My son Matthew and I had an excellent 4 day tour of Oman with Star Tours and Hamood as our guide. Oman is a fascinating country with lots to see and Hamood was very knowledgeable when showing us round and explaining the culture and history. Also the car we travelled in was a highlight for me, a very nice Land Cruiser V8.

        Great nature and historical sights within three days
        Excellent tour seeing mountains, hiking and swimming in Wadi Shab, visiting Turtle Beach (real turtles!), sunset and overnight in the desert camp, visiting historic sights and much more. During 3 days seeing the best of Oman outside the capital area. We had a friendly and caring guide and driver Khalil Aljabri with great knowledge of all aspects of life in Oman, introducing us to some very good selection of Omani food during our trip (sambusa, mandazi, luqaimat), preparing for us real tea in the desert dunes. Very good car and accommodations. Highly recommend.

        Wonderful Day Exploring Nizwa
        We had had a fantastic day exploring the forts and castles around Nizwa. Our guide, Ahmed, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. In addition to explaining the various historical sites, Ahmed enthusiastically shared so many interesting insights into the Omani culture. We have a much better understanding and appreciation for this incredible country. Planning was very easy, logistics worked perfectly, and we had a great overall experience. We’d highly recommend Star Tour Oman and would strongly suggest asking for Ahmed!

      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

      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.
