Muscat & the Hajar done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Would send friends their way.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Muscat & the Hajar done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
