A worthwhile and enjoyable experience - I had an enjoyable tour of Male and Villimale with Aslam. While the islands are small and walkable, it was worth having a guide: he did a great job answering my many questions about the history, culture, economy and daily life of the people. He even showed me a few place not on the tour itinerary, like the Stingrays watching spot, Tsunami Monument, and Republic Square. He’s also super relatable as well.

Good Visit - Naura, our guide, spoke excellent English. She was flexible when and informative answering our questions as best she could. She waited patiently in the museum lobby while we were inside. She also helped us find a restaurant that was open to tourists during Ramadan (day fasting ) since most of the local restaurants were closed during the day. All in all a good visit .

Eye-opening tour! - Aslam, our guide, was awesome! He was very polite and smart. He was able to give us a tailored tour based on what we were interested in. He showed us lots of amazing things in Malé and made us appreciate the Maldivian ways and culture. Definitely a must-do tour during your Malé stopover to/from private island stays! Highly recommend this company. Kudos to Aslam for being a very accommodating and witty guide!

A great guide for our sightseeing trip - Most of people visit Male for its famous beach resorts and water sports, but we were only there for sightseeing and very short on time . As such , a good tour guide is very important. Our guide Hassan is excellent to give us a great insights about the place, its past and present, and the people. We are very grateful for having him as our guide.

A good introductory visit to the Maldives - Had a half day tour around Male and Villimale island with Hassan. It was a fruitful experience to see firsthand how Maldivians live in their beautiful island

Great afternoon touring Male! - Had a wonderful tour with Haaidh today, a wonderful guy who was very knowledgeable on Male and Maldivian culture and history in general. Haaidh was at the meeting point ahead of time, was very well spoken, and made sure the tour met our interests and expectations. The tour was well paced, covered the relevant sights and was flexible to our interests. A great way to spend a few hours during a layover in Male, definitely recommend.

Nice walking tour but beware of the lunch menu prices! - A walking tour was a lovely way to visit Male and Villemale. Our guides English was limited but we managed. The down fall was when our guide directed us to a restaurant and recommended was order a particular dish. This was on a separate menu. We assumed the price listed was in local currency like the other menu .The guide was also told us he was going to take us to his uncles shop after lunch, not usually part of the tour but we did not want to say no. Fortunately, the guide was called away in the middle of lunch to start the afternoon tour so we were able to avoid the shopping excursion. When the bill arrived we were charged in USD ($200 verses the expected around $40 USD). The meal was passable but not even close to value for money. Complete ripe off! While the guide turned out to be a little sketchy the tour owner was very honest. We rang him when this ridiculous bill was presented. He arrived within 5 minutes. Resolved the problem by refunding the tour price which resulted in us paying the same amount as if we had simply purchased a USD$40 lunch. (lunch was not included in the tour). The owner, walked with us back to the port and notified his other guides to avoid this restaurant. Tour operator was a stand up fellow.
