Ziyara in Madinah - It was an amazing experience. The best tour guide I ever had. My family had a nice time with Abou Yousef touring and talking us through all the historical places in Madinah. My kids enjoyed the ice cream treat as well.

Great Madina Tour with Family - Abu Yousuf - the guide is the best tour operator. He is a local Madina resident and knows all stories hard to find with with any other tour operators. The Medina tour lasted almost 4 hours and the time lapsed so fast in hearing all the stories Abu Yousuf had to share of Medina and Islamic histories. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for learning about Madina, its history, people and how Islam seeded and thrived here.

Highly recommended - Our tour guide Abu Yusuf was very knowledgeable and informative. His english was highly proficient. The whole tour took around 3 and a half hours. He was friendly and fun, so the time passed quickly. Would highly recommend everyone who visits Madinah to take this tour.

Amazing, best tour guide and very flexible! - Abu Yusuf was the kindest and most generous tour guide. He was very attentive and knowledgeable and really taught us a lot about the beautiful monuments and historic events of Madina. He truly made our experience amazing and explained every monument and historic areas well to us. He also was very flexible and was contactable. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family, I hope to come back one day and would love to go on this tour again!

Highly recommend! - My family and I were absolutely delighted with our private tour of Madinah. From the moment we started, it was clear that this tour would exceed all our expectations. Our tour guide, Abu Yousef, was nothing short of remarkable. As a local, his knowledge of Madinah’s rich history was clear. He wove together stories of the past with the present, bringing the history of the city to life in a way that was both engaging and deeply moving.
Abu Yousef wasn't just a guide; he was a host in the truest sense of the word. His hospitality made us feel welcomed and valued, adding a warm, personal touch to our journey through Madinah. It’s one thing to visit a place, but another entirely to experience it through the eyes of someone who holds it dear to their heart, and that’s exactly what Abu Yousef provided.
I would not only recommend this private tour to others but eagerly look forward to embarking on another journey with Abu Yousef should we visit again. It’s rare to find such a combination of passion, knowledge, and hospitality. If you’re planning to visit Madinah. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of the city, enriched by the stories and insights of a truly exceptional guide.

Fantastic tour! - Absolutely fantastic tour! Our local guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We saw all the highlights without feeling rushed. My mom with reduced mobility really enjoyed sightseeing at her own pace. Bonus: the sweet stop at Al bardisi was such a treat.
Highly recommend!

Medinah tour - I booked based on good reviews of a previous guide, Abu Yusuf. We got a different guide, which is fine because a specific guide was never promised. But while the tour guide’s knowledge was good, it was not exemplary. But was very kind and professional. Would recommend as it was still a good experience.

Cancelled by Operator on the morning of the tour - In early August, I had booked this trip for my family as we were intending to inshallah travel to KSA for umrah. With three young kids, I have to plan and be organised. Yesterday and prior, I messaged the tour operator. However, no reply or response was received. Today was supposedly this tour, and whilst sending several messages on WhatsApp and calling the number, no response or reply. I had ensured my children were up and ready for the tour waiting in the lobby at 7.50am. Finally, at 8.38am, the tour operator messaged, claiming he never received the booking confirmation and was on vacation outside of Madinah. He agreed to refund the fee and provided an option to provide a free tour, but honestly, I am so disheartened with this experience and the poor communication, that I just requested a refund and did not wish to engage in any furrher dialogue. A complete disaster, but Alhumdulillah, Allah had something better planned, and we did things via Uber, exploring all the sites of Mount Uhud.
