“As two very independent travelers, we were hesitant to commit to an organised tour, however we were very happy that we went with Experience It Oman. We were able to tailor our week in Oman around our main interests, which was hiking and exploring the beautiful wadis that Oman has to offer. Having a driver/guide also meant that we were able to fully relax and take in our beautiful surrounds. I’d love to go back to Oman and spend more time exploring.”
“From tasting new favorite foods to learning about the incredibly rich history and culture, all was superlative. I would not have left anything out. If anything, I would have spent more time in the desert. Our driver, Abdullah, was excellent – both in his knowledge of the country and his level of English. Could not have asked or hoped for a better driver/guide. Definitely will be requesting him for the next tour.”
“We took the Best of Oman Tour. Our two highlights of the trip were The Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve and the night in the Empty Quarter. Our drivers Khalid, Lito, and Alawi were all wonderful! They were kind and had good senses of humor, very considerate of our needs and wants. I’d rate their English as good, and their knowledge of the country as excellent. All the accommodations on the tour were very good. Our favorite was Anantara Jebel Akhdar, of course! We also liked the Crowne Plaza in Muscat. The Desert Nights camp was wonderful–the “tent” was very comfortable and the food was excellent. This trip was fantastic from beginning to end. We had wonderful times with our guides, and we saw so much in the time we were there, we really got a good feel for the Sultanate of Oman. We would love to come back and have more time at the places we really liked. We would absolutely recommend Experience It Oman, without any hesitation.”
“From my very first contact with Eliot around November last year to my conversation with him in the taxi going to Muscat airport, Suzanne and I have been impressed with the attention to our myriad questions prior to booking our tour and with the subsequent arrangements. Vienna was also helpful and promptly replied to all queries. The accommodation was first class. Mohammed was an excellent driver and guide. At all times we felt he had our best interests at heart and we never questioned our safety. Thank you for purchasing the tickets to the Women’s Day Concert at Royal Oman Opera House. The seats were excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend EIT Oman. Many thanks to you and your colleagues for making our Oman experience memorable.”
“I had a wonderful time in Oman and Qambar did a great job hosting me. Some highlights, at least for me were: the souk and fish market in Muscat; hiking in the wadis; driving in the sand dunes to the desert tent camp; the two tent camps; and the turtle watching. Qambar was very good about doing what I wanted to do. In one Wadi, I wanted to hike to a cave, so we hiked and then crawled in the cave when we got there. As I said, it was a great trip and Qambar was an excellent guide.”
“We enjoyed everything we did. The overall highlight was our relaxed relationship with our guide Rasheed who left no stone unturned in helping us see and experience so many sights and immersing us in Omani culture. The accommodations on this tour were excellent. Both Anantara and the Chedi exceeded our already high expectations. Oman is a safe place to travel and as Westerners we at no time felt unwelcome or in any danger. Would we recommend Experience It Oman? Absolutely! Without any hesitation.”
“Our guides, Ibrahim and Suhail, made our tour very special. They were gracious hosts and very patient with us. Ibrahim was phenomenal – he was the best tour guide we have ever had! We really appreciated how professional our guides were, especially during Ramadan… We would like to commend Eliot for designing a perfect tour for us from start to finish. He was quick to respond to our emails and patient with all of our questions, creating an itinerary that met our requests and preferences. He met us in Salalah for dinner where we got to know him and had some great conversations. Eliot also made our trip special by contacting our hotels about us celebrating our 20th anniversary and we were spoiled with some anniversary cake in our resort rooms. Experience It Tours made Oman a perfect destination to celebrate our anniversary…We appreciated the personal touch given by Vienna when she called us a few days before leaving for Oman to answer any questions we had about our upcoming trip.”
“We were so appreciative of having Mousab as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and engaging during the ten days that we spent with him. We learned so much about the Omani culture, traditions, and food specialities. We had Omani coffee on our long rides and tasted the sweets to awaken our taste buds. He added a other destinations to our itinerary, that we found added immensely to our stay in Oman. Mousab was also flexible with our pick-up times in the mornings. We were impressed with his driving, on the narrow mountain roads, long stretches of highway, and in the desert. Oman is such a diverse country, from the beautiful beaches, bustling cities, desert, and mountains. The old villages, forts, goat market, and mosques were all truly amazing. We recommend visiting Oman to all of our friends, telling them of the friendliness of the Omani people. Your company’s service was also of great value to us. Everything went smoothly from my initial inquiry to the last day of our vacation in Oman..”
“Both our drivers Suhail and Ibrahim were so nice to us…the whole trip was special… we loved visiting the goat market and Nizwah… The number one standout was the Oman people they are soooooo nice and genuinely assist tourists.”
“Thanks to all of you for a fabulous trip… it was wonderful to discover Oman with our great guides Hammood and Khalid… The snorkelling was amazing, I am glad we decided on going to the islands…”
“We had an amazing trip… truly fallen in love with Oman and its people…You and your team have made this such an easy trip for us. We have not had to worry about anything…Our guides – Hammoud and Khalid were amazing…we stayed in the Wahiba desert; the desert is breathtaking!”
“We had a wonderful trip…Our hotels in Muscat, Salalah, Nizwa and Sur were very good (with the Crowne Plaza and 1000 Nights Camp being by far the best). Both our drivers provided excellent service…We loved the country and its people!”
