Excellent tour by Khurram. We enjoyed learning about the historical sites of Taif and enjoyed the beautiful views. Had a lovely lunch too. Would recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! We’re glad you enjoyed the Taif tour, the views, and lunch. Khurram will be happy to hear your kind words.
Lunch was not delicious, the guide was a decent person and could speak English. It wasn't rose season, so it wasn't worth seeing. It was finished an hour earlier than planned. The trip was long and there was not much time for sightseeing, so we stopped at the last cafe with a view, but it was said to be 10 minutes and we could not drink coffee.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your positive comment about the guide and regret that the lunch, timing, and sightseeing duration were disappointing. Visiting outside the rose season may have affected the experience, and we apologize if this was unclear. Your comments regarding travel time and the short café stop have been noted and will be reviewed to improve our service. Thank you for sharing your experience. We value your feedback and will use it to make improvements.
Do not waste your time and money with this tour. The guide does not follow the itinerary; I booked this tour to see the town of Taif and principally its Souk. Instead we only spent 1 hour in downtown Taif eating in a restaurant after which we were coaxed to spend 2 hours on a farm in the outskirts of town, viewing a river overflowing with litter and caged animals - clearly the guide and the owner of the farm had a prior business agreement. The drive to Taif is beautiful, but the tour is badly organised: you reach one of the main mountain passes around noon when it is so foggy that you can barely see 10 meters. However, on the return trip, when the view was clear, we didn't stop to enjoy it. Also the stop at the rose distillery was uninteresting and took way too much time. I felt bored and regret I wasted my time on this tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the itinerary did not align with what was advertised. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments regarding time management, stops, and overall organization are taken seriously and will be reviewed with our team to prevent similar issues in the future. We truly regret that you felt disappointed and appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve our services.
Excellent experience. Had a good day tour to Taif with Khurram, a knowledgeable person and guide. He showed us different parts of Taif.
Thank you so much for your five-star review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an excellent full-day tour of Taif. Khurram will be very happy to know that his knowledge and guidance made your experience enjoyable. It’s wonderful that you got to explore so many parts of Taif with him. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
The scenery was decent but not something spectacular- I think it depends on when the season is. Maybe in spring when the roses are in bloom and the mountains are green it would be better. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed having a kind and knowledgeable guide with you. Taif’s scenery does vary by season, and spring is indeed the most vibrant time to visit. We appreciate your honest thoughts and hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.
