Abuja offers so much culture and history. Our tour guide provided the best experience taking us to the point of interest . Highly recommend
I had a great experience with Mark, he was very quick on responding to my email and even thought it was a layover tour, he really tried to take me to most sites possible. Mark is extremely flexible, knowledgeable and professional. Also most importantly he assisted with my evisa in 3 days. So highly recommend his service and I will use him again for my next visit to Nigeria.
Thank you so very much for this feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your layover in Abuja. We look forward to being of service to you in the future. Warm regards.

I purchased "Abuja City Tours" but when I got my tickets it says I was getting the Culinary Experience. I wrote to the host that I was not interested in the Culinary Experience since I was born & grew up in Nigeria, know the food culture very well. He suggested I go back to original booking and request Abuja City Tours. I did not understand this as that was what I originally book for. This communication went on back & forth after midnight I was tired & fed up so caved in & wrote back to the Tour Operator that I will take the Culinary Experience but still not what I wanted. I subsequently leaned that Motley Travels Logistics Ltd can provide me with the Abuja City Tours for $200.00, so I purchased the tours from Motley Travels Logistics Ltd for Thirty Thousand Naira which was the nigeria equivalent of $200.00 at that time. I will like Viator to refund me the $140.00 they billed my credit card on 2/17/25 since they did not provide me with the tour I wanted.
Thank you for this feedback sir. This is a review platform for your experience on the tour. You will need to request a refund via the viator appropriate channel. Thank you.
