It was a very hot day but the taxi aircon was good for the task.The drivers English was good and he gave the information about the sights we visited.

Great finish to the day with specular sunset o the sea front.

Best tour guide ever who can take great pictures and speaks good English! I would definitely recommend this tour. - I had a wonderful day in Kuwait during this tour. My tour guide picked me up from my accommodation and dropped me back afterward. He knew a lot about the history and culture of Kuwait, and I could ask many questions and learn a lot. I felt safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler during this tour. As an experienced traveler who has been to more than 50 countries and been on many tours, I can confirm that this was a fantastic tour. Booking a guided tour is the easiest way to discover Kuwait. The tour guide took us to hidden places and he was very open to our wishes of the things we wanted to see. Additionally, he is a great photographer. His English was very good, and he was very friendly.
Kuwait towers are so beautiful, especially from the inside. So I would recommend to choose this additional option. I had a fantastic time, and I would definitely recommend booking this tour with this company. If I could, I would give this tour even 10 stars.

Great tour! Highly recommended - Trip was great! With many stops on the way and lots of informations about the country. Walid was amazing tour guide - you can see that he loves and enjoys his job! I really loved the 4WD experience and driving in the desert. Another great activity was a camel farm! I was surprised to see how friendly and gentle they are! Literally like dogs following us everywhere for pets:) I had a lovely day and will recommend this tour to everyone who is coming to visit Kuwait!

Incredible day full of entertainment! - What an amazing experience I had! I was a bit nervous as I was travelling alone as a solo female traveller but Walid made me feel at ease! He was punctual, nice, polite and fun to be around. He loves his country and he shares a lot of interesting information throughout the tour. Driving next to the beautiful camels that were roaming free in the desert will always remain one of my favourite travel memories...I recommend this tour for everyone coming to Kuwait.

Excellent tour, great guide! - Overall very good tour and a good value. Walid was quite knowledgeable and had a lot of good information. I liked that in one day was able to see quite a range of sights all over Kuwait. I had flexibility in the tour to allow me to see or spend more time in certain areas, and Walid was open to even doing a separate more custom tour if there were other places I wanted to see. Definitely would use him again if I returned to Kuwait!

Tour cancelled by guide/company at last moment - I cannot really rate this tour because the guide/company cancelled the trip late in the evening before the tour. The 'official reason' (or should I call excuse) was that something happened with the car that was planned to be used for my tour. How about you use/rent another car and not mess up the plans of people who booked with you ??
So be warned. If you want to book a tour with a company that does not cancel your tour in the last minute, then do not use this company.
I complained about this incident with Viator (with whom I had booked this tour) and they just apologized and did nothing to solve the problem. Shame on them ! I
