  I booked this tour in an available slot in Tripadvisor, included payment detail, and never got a confirmation. A few days later, I received an email from Tripadvisor stating that my booking could not be honored. So, if you try to book, make sure you have an alternative option just in case

• Outstanding Customer Service!

  I sadly didn't have the chance to meet or take a Tour with Ahmed, but he helped me tremendously! I reached out to him a few weeks ago, and asked him to lead my tour. Sadly, he was traveling internationally over the dates I was in Jeddah. But this did not stop him for helping me, as he responded to every questions I had relate to the tour of Al Balad. He even tried setting me up with other guides, but sadly none were available since this was Saudi Arabia's National holiday. I ended up following all of Ahmed's advice, and had an incredible time in the old city! Shukran!

  Mr Mahfouz was an excellent tour guide! He arrived early to pick us up at our hotel, was very thoughtful in asking what our tour preferences were and gave us more than we could have asked for. We got to see lots including the floating mosque, the old town of Al-Balad, Al Shafi'i, the oldest mosque in Jeddah. We even got to shop for some souvenirs and stopped to get some lemonade. It all completely exceeded our expectations! Thanks for an outstanding tour which gave us an awesome opportunity to experience Jeddah! We would love to return in the winter season to experience it 😀

  Ahmed was an excellent guide, passionate and knowledgeable about his home. He was extremely kind to our family and especially our children even buying them gifts and treats. Of all the places to see in Jeddah Al Balad is most important and you can’t have a better guide than Ahmed.

  

  

• Unforgettable Al Balad Tour with an Amazing Guide!

  I had an amazing tour in Al Balad, and I can’t recommend it enough! My guide, Ahmed, was fantastic—knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of the area. He went above and beyond by adjusting the tour last minute due to changes in my schedule, even leaving a corporate event to make it happen. Ahmed showed me around at a perfect pace, never rushing, allowing me to take in the charm and history of Al Balad. He also introduced me to some incredible local flavors, treating me to delicious local donuts and samosas, and later taking me to a hidden gem for a fantastic dinner. Overall, it was a wonderful experience—great hospitality, insightful stories, and a truly memorable evening. If you’re considering a tour in Al Balad, I highly recommend Ahmed!

  Well what a fabulous day tour with the most informed, interesting and congenial guide we have met in many years. Ahmed is passionate about his city’s history and architecture and this most certainly shows. His wisdom, kindness for his guests and great sense of humour made the day very special for my husband and me. We would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend Ahmed highly enough.

  Ahmed was absolutely spectacular! He is very knowledgeable and very easily able to engage with all the immense knowledge he has about the history of Jeddah and KSA. He was able to easily answer all the questions asked apart from the usual tour information. We really had a wonderful time with him guiding us to all the right places for shopping and eating after the tour ended. Highly recommend this tour with Ahmed! We are going to definitely recommend this one to our friends! Priyanka and Dhruv

  Ahmed is an extraordinary guide, he manages to make you feel at home... because Al Balad was his home. The stories of the life lived in those alleys, in the rooms of the houses visited are part of his life and he manages to make you relive atmospheres and flavors thanks to the collaboration of his friends. I recommend you discover the beauties of Jeddah, the upper city; Jeddah the grandmother of all; Jeddah the happy city. Thanks Ahmed
