100%. Very satisfied

Badr is a wonderful guide. A former English teacher, he is excellent at communicating the history of Medinah and places of interest. As non-muslims he took the time to explain to us the relevance and context of buildings and practices we saw going on around us. He went above and beyond and gave us more time than we were due. His car is comfortable, air conditioned and he provided bottles of cold water. He is also a patient photographer! Shukran Badr.

Amazing Guide

We had an amazing experience with this tour. The guide was passionate about the history of his native city and had so much knowledge to offer. He was kind and patient with our young children, and took some wonderful family photos of us at the cites. He was also very accommodating of any curve balls we thew at him because of our children. It’s a great way to tour Madina in one day when you’re pressed for time. Highly recommended!
