IT WAS PERFECT FROM BEGINNING TO END

Dear Fatima & Badar, The tours you suggested were great. We love the Daymaniyat Islands sea trip & the swim with the turtles, but we give full credit to Rustaq & the Wadi Tours. Crowne Plaza was nice as you suggested & fit well with our Muscat tours. It was perfect from beginning to end. Khalid met us at our hotel on time and delivered us back. His knowledge of culture and nature was very impressive and his picnic lunch location was 5Star. I highly recommend Khalid and your company for superb service and attention to detail. We wish we had been able to attend an opera performance, but we realize we booked late and there was high demand for opera tickets, but overall the Muscat tour was excellent. Thank you so much for a memorable tours Eva & Family

AMAZING DAY

A wonderful journey through time in Al Rustaq medieval Fort. We loved the breathtaking Wadi adventure & the stunning mountain village hike. Ahmed was the star again and his usual picnic spot was just perfect 👌
