Fantastic introduction to Saudi history and culture - I cannot say enough about how great this tour is. Suliman is a fantastic guide. He’s a Saudi local who is passionate about his country, its culture and its history. He’s happy to answer any questions, he played us his favourite Saudi tunes in the car. The tour takes 5 hours and is really good value for money. I highly recommend it.

Amazing experiencing Saudi culture thanks to guide Suliman - The trip was excellent and the tour guide Suliman was great, a very friendly and helpful young man who spoke perfect English and was able to give us all the information, I learned a lot from him. The trip was well organised and I appreciate the extra time we had in Diryah, as well as Suliman's patience to walk us through the whole souk and show us so many objects from the Saudi culture and his support to help us negotiate. The trip was very pleasant and relaxed. Dinner was tasty as well and the restaurant with the typical Saudi setting felt very homey. Many thanks Suliman for creating an unforgettable trip and sharing the Saudi culture with us! 😊

Outstanding tour! - Suliman was amazing! He had an outstanding grasp of the English language, which made it possible for him to explain the nuances of the sites and Saudi culture in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking to visit the listed attractions.
