Riyadh City Tour - This was a great experience and the guide Rakan was extremely knowledgeable and very nice! We hit most of the main sites in the city. And we even did the Al Rajhi Mosque which was not on the itinerary. We got an early start so we skipped At Turaif which opens at 5pm. I had gone the previous day separately otherwise I would be disappointed as it’s a lovely site (not to be missed)

SCAMMED US - AVOID - I feel completely scammed by this company. The convinced us to pay directly through paypal then completely scammed us on the tour. Then lied to paypal to try to keep the money. CRAZY. They skipped the last main stop of our tour, the whole reason this tour was a premium price compared to other similar ones. Just dropped up back off and cut the tour short, no explanation or anything. When I reached out they said it was because the road was closed... after talking to hotel staff and others that went that day we learned this was not true. Part of the tour was also a stop at a market and we were there during the only 20-30 min that it is closed for prayer during the day. This could have been planned was better as it is predictable and we technically missed this too. All fees were supposed to be included yet the guide made us pay for her parking. The guide also let someone who did not pay joint he tour, not what you want when you are paying hundreds. Lastly the operator completely lied to paypal saying that we were picked up from the airport when we weren't and that was a "free premium" and there way of getting out of refunding. They offered a small credit but it did not even cover what we missed let a alone all of the other issues. Basically we did not get the tour that we were promised at all. Plus the guide took photos of us without permission and is spreading them... AVOID.
