Male diversion - We booked this trip the night before as we had 5 hours to wait before we were going to be able to check in for our flight and had never had the chance to see Male. Unfortunately our flight back to Male was delayed and we arrived two hours late. Our guide waited for us and offered to take us on an abbreviated trip and we spent a great two hours in Male catching as many highlights as possible. We saw the Presidents office, Presidents residence, a mosque with a support structure carved from coral as well as a memorial across from Sultan park. We returned back to the airport right on time and are happy that we were able to have had the abbreviated trip rather than lost everything.

夯 - 非常耐心的好人啊，中国人不骗中国人，没有隐形消费，一开始下飞机真的太害怕被骗了，但是真的带我们去了很多很棒的地方，而且买了很多很棒的纪念品。
Such a very patient and kind person! Chinese people don't deceive each other. There are no hidden charges. When we got off the plane, we were really scared of being cheated at first. But they really took us to many wonderful places and bought us a lot of great souvenirs.

Amazing City Tour during Brief Transit - Our tour guide Faisal was wonderful.
Beginning from the oldest historic buildings in the country including the first school (est. 1927), first mosque, the parliament building, and the burial place of the person credited with introducing Islam to the Maldives, Faisal walked us through the myths, historical facts and the importance of each site. He patiently answered all our questions and his explanations were fascinating, easy to understand and deeply researched.
He then led us to the local markets where we saw stingrays and fish swim up close to the edge of where we were stood. We even walked through the local vendor shops where we tried traditional sweetmeats for free. Faisal even accompanied us all the way to check-in, making the process seamless and guided us all the way to the departure terminal entryway. The tour company also handled all our luggage with care and made our brief transit extremely eventful. Highly recommend and totally worth the reasonable price we paid for the trip. We encourage anyone interested to know more about the Maldives (beyond the luxury resorts) to try this tour out.

Unexpectedly pleasant Male tour with Faisal - Thanks to Faisal from Follow me to Maldives we had a great experience.
We had three hours to spend before our flight.
Faisal showed us Male and told us the history of Maldives, gave all information I wanted to know.
Then we went to the food market. Bought a lot of delicious local food for great prices!
Also he led us to a very fancy restaurant which we enjoyed so much. It had an amazing view and really tasty upscale food. It also had surprisingly good prices. Especially compared to the restaurants we went to ourselves.
He also helped us in the Airport with everything we need. He's an exceptionally good working and ethical guide.
The fee we paid was also very reasonable. ($135 for 4 adults and a kid)
If you have a few hours to spend before your flight, it's best to find Faisal.

City tour Malé - We had a few hours before our flight and used it to explore the city. We were lucky, we were taken on by our guide Mohamed F. from "Follow me to Maldives". We were very satisfied with his services, he showed us around the city and told us about life on the islands. I admire his deep knowledge of history, geography and culture. Thank you for the pleasant time spent and new knowledge.

Wonderful help from Faisal - Faisal was our transfer guide at the airport as we transferred from seaplane to Male main airport. He was wonderfully friendly and helpful and even gave us extra information about the Maldives as he was helping organise our luggage and with check-in. Top man!
