I'm really happy that I choose this company because these 2 days of trips (Forts trip and Grand Canyon of Oman) were incredible. It was one of my best vacations ever and especially I must say THANK YOU to their guide Mr. Khalfan because he was very professional, careful, always focusing on details and thinking about to make the trip more interesting for me. He told me also lots of things about the history of the country, its culture, traditions etc. Thanks to him I enjoyed these 2 days so much and I'll definitely come back to Oman and would like to book another trips guided by him. I highly recommend this company to the others.

We had scheduled day tours of Muscat and Salalah and was in Dubai awaiting our cruise on March 12th. We had private tours with Oman Tours reserved. They were wonderful in cancellations! We had to ASAP return to USA first plane available due to our government request or be quarantined at end of cruise in Europe. We will return next year to finish our tours of Oman and will request Sarah to help us again with our plans. She is excellent. Thanks again and see you next year!

Had a great day exploring East Salalah with Ahmed, the company owner who this time was also my guide, driver, and travel companion as I was his only guest! Ahmed picked me up on time at the dot, but from here, he's very flexible and would happily accommodate some extra time sightseeing or taking pictures and not once did I feel rushed during the trip. We started with a visit to a coconut & banana farm where we had freshly cut young coconut and bananas. The next stop was Taqah. Unfortunately both the castle and watchtower were closed), but then he drove me to a cliff with one of the most gorgeous views and he set up a mini breakfast of local pastries for me. Then we drove to Sumhuram to see one of the most important frankincense trading ports some one thousand years ago, then on to Mirbat to see Bin Ali Tomb, Mirbat Castle, and the fish market (it wasn't really special but I had fun posing for pictures with lobsters and a tuna!) From here, we passed by the anti gravity point and climbed to Samhan (the highest mountain in Dhofar). It was already a long day at this point, but Ahmed insisted that we see Wadi Darbat natural pools. I was a bit skeptical as this was not the season to see natural pools, but of course Ahmed knew what he was talking about! We didn't swim there BUT he took me to a big waterfall nearby with a crystal clear turquoise pool where we took a dip in the cool, calm water. What's best is there was hardly anyone around at any of the spots mentioned above (we were the only ones in Sumhuram, both castles, the tomb, and the waterfall - and there were maybe just another 5 other tourists at Samhan View Point). Yes, the khareef/monsoon season is probably the best season to visit Salalah, but if you don't mind not seeing a "green Salalah", you can still enjoy A LOT of things in this region outside of khareef. In fact, during khareef you'll have limited visibility (due to fogs) and lots of rains (which is cool and nice but not when you have limited time for sightseeing like me). And when you decide to visit Salalah, don't hesitate to contact Ahmed. He's one of the most accommodating guides I've ever encountered and I've visited hundreds of cities in over 40 countries :)

It was my first time in Muscat and I wanted to remember this city. To do this, I reviewed many companies that are engaged in excursions and decided to stop at Gidoman . So, I didn't regret my choice and it was the coolest ride of my life. Our guide Ilya, talked to us very interesting information about the city sights. Most of all, I liked the Corniche Road and the old market. We took amazing photos against the background of snow-white beautiful buildings like in the tale of Aladdin. I want to say a huge thank you to the company Gidoman for what you do, I will recommend you to all my friends!
