We had an amazing time with Nasr! Went to Nizwa and Jabal Akhdar, Nasr was a fantastic guide, he did a great job showing us around Nizwa and is a great storyteller. He finished off our day driving us through an off-the-beaten-path palm tree grove and then climbing up a hill so we could see it all from above- it was a majestic sight.
I would easily recommend Nasr to anyone who needs a great tour guide in the Muscat area!

A visit to Nizwa Fort is like stepping back into a time of ancient fortifications and grandeur. The robust structure and the panoramic view from the tower are simply breathtaking, offering a glimpse into Oman's past. Jabal Akhdar, or Green Mountain, is a refreshing escape with its cool climate and lush terraces. The verdant landscapes and serene atmosphere make it a perfect spot for nature lovers.
This trip was a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, all made more memorable by a fantastic tour guide Amer. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the heart of Oman!

My wife and I booked 2 full days private tours with Sunshine tours and we had the best time ever. Our guide Muneer was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, polite and accommodating to our requests. He really went out of his way to make our experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this company if you want to experience the Middle East hospitality and beautiful culture, history and architecture. It was amazing experience and I can’t thank them enough especially Muneer. After the 2 days we became like a family.

Sunshine Tours Oman was convenient to book and response to inquiry messages promptly.
Our guide Khalid was well-experienced, considerate, patient and a good driver.
We had a wonderful experience at the Nizwa Souq, and an informative tour in Nizwa Fort& Castle.
The falaj area was interesting, we just seen the demonstration at the nation museum of muscat, so it was very enjoyable to see the site in real-life.
