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)

5/5 – Highly recommended - We felt like guests, not just tourists. Dr. Thamer planned our Riyadh tour around us, shared his passion for the city, and even took us to a traditional restaurant, guiding us through the meal. If you ever get the chance to tour Riyadh, ask for him — you won’t regret it. A genuine, personal experience we’ll never forget.

Excellent tour, Best tour guide - This Full day Riyadh City tour was excellent. I had to book this tour in a rush because the original tour I had planned in Riyadh canceled last minute. Thankfully this tour was available and it worked out perfect. I owe it mostly to our tour guide Rakan. He is a young man who knew his stuff about Riyadh and took care of me and my family with the utmost kindness and expertise. The most outstanding part of the trip was he invited us into his family home for lunch (that his mother prepared for us). One couldn't have asked for a more local Saudi Arabian treat. To say the least that along with other excellent places Rakan treated us too was spectacular. I thank the tour comany Abhatrips for coming to our rescue and providing this tour... but I truly thank Rakan for being a wonderful guide. I highly recommend this tour and tour company

Unsatisfactory - Rakan the guide was excellent. But the ternary of the tour was not covered. This was supposed to a day tour to start at 10am, instead started after 4 pm. Could not see the museum because it was late. We regret booking this trip not worth the money we paid. Not happy.
