What people love about Private Tours in Oman
- Jewels of Oman: An 8-Day Private Tour
Our tour with was absolutely fantastic! Their in-depth knowledge was impressive, and they had a wonderful ability to bring history to life. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a tour guide. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they made sure we had a memorable experience. We would highly recommend anyone visiting.
- Oman’s Premier Private Experience
We did the 8-day Adventure Tour around Oman, which we really enjoyed. It provided us with a great overview of the country, with a fantastic variety of sights and activities. For us, the tour struck the perfect balance between being active and providing time to relax. Importantly, it allowed us to get under the skin of Oman and get to know its friendly and welcoming people. The hotel accommodation was excellent, with a very high standard of service. Our guide, Ilyaas, was incredible! He let us work to our own timescales and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He always went the extra mile to ensure we were well-fed, comfortable and got to see the real Oman. We were also incredibly well looked after by the other associates of GidOman, who ferried us around (airport and certain tours). They kept us up-to-date and were on hand to assist, day and night. Overall we would highly recommend this tour.
- The Oman Essentials Tour with Fully Live Escorted Tour in 4* Hotels - Full Board Plan
Sites were incredible. Tour guide, Mohammed, was incredibly knowledgable, friendly, accommodating, and fun. Food could've had more variety.
