Ilyas stands head and shoulders above any other guide I have ever had in my 40 years global travel. His high level of expertise cannot be overstated. Ilyas fills the tour days and nights with local anecdotal information not written about in books. At the same time, he listens keenly to the responses and tailors the activities, timings and trip details according to the needs and preferences of his clients. He showed me hidden gems and shared information that I am sure other guides are not aware of or not inclined to go the extra mile to share. I am so grateful for his outstanding connections, love of seafood, and genuine heartfelt love and pride of his countrymen. I look forward to staying in touch with him and all the other fantastic people I met in Oman

I give a rating of 5 "everything we expected and more. From the moment of meeting at the airport to the moment of landing. The travel guides of this company are professionals in their field.

This trip was fantastic. I want sure about this trip but it was a highlight, especially for my teen age son and daughter. I'd recommend it as a day away from normal touring. Note: we were shattered the next day.

Our tour guide, Jamaal, was AMAZING! The whole trip to Wadi Shab and the sinkhole was fantastic in and of itself but Jamaal made it much more so. Beautiful car, well prepared, super considerate, very knowledgeable about all things Omani, he was one of the BEST tour guides I’ve had in any country for any trip. He knew Wadi Shab like the back of his hand, he navigated us through the labyrinthine chasm as far as we could physically go. I felt bad for tourists who were trying to accomplish the Wadi by themselves / this is clearly not recommended. Jamaal was super safety conscious yet adventurous. He was great about recommending super photo ops. Jamaal- thank you and thanks for meeting us at airport to give us something valuable we had left in car! Awesome- my highest recommendation!!!!

We had a wonderful tour with Aziz, our guide He is knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, cheerful and a proud Omani. All twelve of us in the group were impressed by the cleanliness and development of Muscat, the love of Omanis for their departed Sultan, their pride in their country and the well organized welcome for tourists. GidOman responded to my messages promptly which is great assurance for any traveller booking online. Their vehicle is comfortable and clean and Ilyas arrived punctually. We certainly enjoyed our short but comprehensive visit.

What a great day ! It was exactly what we were hoping for : aventure and discovery in family! Given the fact we were with 3 Kids (12 / 10 and 6 years old). The site is stunning of course. We were led by a sportive and passionate guide, Hamood, who shared a lot of the culture and history of his country. The rythm was really good and adapted : no rush, true enjoyement and yet a very full day. Not only a guide, we really felt that Hamood took care of each of us.

Would definitely recommend this tour. Mahmoud was an amazing guide, very friendly, patient and kind. The views were stunning, definitely worth the hike!😅

Went on the full day Wadi Shab Bimmah Sinkhole tour. Pick up direct from hotel was on time, our driver and guide Mahmood was excellent, full of fun and looked after us well. Experience itself well worth it, a great day out if you enjoy a good hike, swimming and fun. The scenery is unreal, the last cave and fountain worth all the effort to get there. Everyone on the trip were so friendly and I enjoyed every minute of it, and to finish off with an Omani meal in a local restaurant and stop off for tea and sweets on the way home. A great day, a great experience always to be remembered. Thank you Mahmood
