Superbly knowledgeable guide, very thorough tour and fabulous value. Background info provided gave us a terrific understanding of current and former culture that no one else off our cruise ship was aware of. A wonderful tour and highly recommended.

The guide was lovely and as the day was exceptionally hot (even for Male!) conducted a large part of the tour via car trip. We got out and walked at key places. Historical sites are limited as Maldives is a fairly new independent nation, but we saw all of the significant sites and memorials. Our tour lasted only 2 hours due to the car use, but was worth doing. If I'm honest I felt we'd overpaid a little for the content and duration, but we enjoyed the day and learnt some things which was important to us to do. The initial meet was confusing as the guide did not have a sign which we had been told they would have, we were actually stood a few feet apart for about half an hour before we realised each was waiting for the other!

We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Hassan seeing the highlights of Male.he was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and very respectful of our wishes of how long to spend at different locations. We enjoyed the National Art gallery, the parliament building, the Sultan park, the fruit and vegetable market, the fish market, the sting rays at the harbour, a Masala tea and a bus ride on the local bus! What a fabulous tour with Hassan and lots of great photos!
