5.00I had the best time on this tour - it was my favourite day of my trip here! Hussain was my tour guide and was so incredible. He knew absolutely everything about the places we went to, and also answered all my questions so thoroughly. I really really appreciated learning more about the culture here, and honestly, it just massively opened my eyes to so much. A truly amazing day! And the tour operators were really responsive and helpful on Whatsapp to help me arrange everything, as I had trouple with booking through Tripadvisor. Thank you all round :)

Highlight of our tour

5.00Edge of the world is an absolutely must-visit place if you visit Saudi! We had two kids 5 and 6 year old, and we were not quite sure if it would be worth the long distance off road bumpy trip plus the hike up to the top, but I'm glad we went. Our guide Mohammad made sure that everyone was safe, found the fastest route, and brought us all back home safe and happy. He is highly experienced!
Wonderful Riyadh Day Trip

5.00I had a wonderful day trip with Mohammed to see Byijairi and the Edge of the World. Mohammed was a very safe driver and provided insightful explanation of both places, and we had many interesting conversations regarding Saudi Arabian culture. This is a trip you should definitely do when in Riyadh.
A great experience

4.00For first time visitors to Riyadh and Saudi Arabia, it is helpful to have a tour guide to show and introduce the city's main highlights.
Guide asked for $100 tip after the tour

1.00The trip overall was fair but not for the price we paid The guide Waddah showed up in a Pajero which was run down and not well kept and the trunk was full of his personal items and the seats were pushed so far forward that we were sitting bent forward. He kept his personal camping gear in the car and the car was pretty beat up. Regardless he did a decent job of showing us the souk and al mismak etc before taking us to the edge of the world tour. That was fine but the end of the tour he demanded that we had gone over the time limit and so we owe him $100. When I asked to be connected to the manager to get an explanation he started cursing us and called us names for being cheap and not tipping at least a $100 USD. Definitely book directly and locally and not through Viator. The trip is half the price if booked at the hotel. Terrible experience in the end for pushing and cursing for $100 tip in front of our children. The driver got so aggressive that the hotel staff had to intervene and ask him to leave. I have booked many tours through viator before and this was our first overall negative experience.
Outstanding Guide and True Ambassador of Saudi Arabia

5.00I had one free day before starting my business trip in Saudi Arabia, and Ali was assigned to guide me—what a fantastic match it turned out to be. It was my first time in the country, and Ali made the experience truly memorable. His English was excellent, making our conversations easy and enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, shared great insights, and showed me places I never would have found on my own. Ali is a wonderful “face of Saudi Arabia” for foreign visitors like me—warm, knowledgeable, and truly welcoming. Thanks to him, I had an unforgettable introduction to the country. I can highly recommend him!
What a Great Introduction to Ryhadh

5.00This was an incredible, private, customized trip with Waddah. He is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and speaks English beautifully. I feel like I made a new friend. He took us to the King Abdullah Financial District, the old carpet market, the Al Masmak Palace, an incredible Arabian restaurant, and ended at the airport.
