For someone new to the city, Ahmed was a great communicator on time and spoke excellent English. He was very knowledgeable about the history. The architecture took me on a phenomenal walking tour. It was nice that I also had a chance to learn from a spiritual guide at the mosque as well as a musical guide at the museum of one of Saudi Arabia’s most beloved musicians.

My guide Ahmed is very knowledgeable and loves to share what he knows about this beautiful city with me. It was a very pleasant experience with Ahmed and I would recommend this private tour with him for sure.
