By Naghmeh Sohrabi(United States)July 16, 2025 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!We recently experienced four incredible tours with Panorama Travel, and each one was more breathtaking than the last! From the bustling streets of Muscat to the serene waters of a private yacht, and from the dramatic cliffs of the Grand Canyon to the hidden paradise of Wadi Shab—every moment was pure magic. This 4-tour package with Panorama Travel is perfection. 5/5 stars – highly recommended!Date of Experience: June 10, 2025

By Eva Bellin(Oman)February 27, 2024 IT WAS PERFECT FROM BEGINNING TO ENDDear Fatima & Badar, The tours you suggested were great. We love the Daymaniyat Islands sea trip & the swim with the turtles, but we give full credit to Rustaq & the Wadi Tours. Crowne Plaza was nice as you suggested & fit well with our Muscat tours. It was perfect from beginning to end. Khalid met us at our hotel on time and delivered us back. His knowledge of culture and nature was very impressive and his picnic lunch location was 5Star. I highly recommend Khalid and your company for superb service and attention to detail. We wish we had been able to attend an opera performance, but we realize we booked late and there was high demand for opera tickets, but overall the Muscat tour was excellent. Thank you so much for a memorable tours Eva & Family
