We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Hashem Alshareef (+966 54 846 1616 ) He was friendly, professional, well-spoken and extremely knowledgeable. Hashem took us around Riyadh and showed us the traditional market, spices, perfumes, auction, historical museum, Governor’s Palace, and the famous Kingdom Tower and Al Faisaliah Tower. We also enjoyed the amazing views from these iconic Riyadh landmarks. He explained the history and culture of each place and answered all our questions. He also took beautiful pictures of us, and the car was comfortable, clean and spacious. He was punctual, welcoming and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Hashem Alshareef to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide in Riyadh. He truly went above and beyond to make our day special. 🇸🇦
