We do not recommend this tour as it is not as advertised. Our tour guide was knowleddable, but not at all engaged with us - we had to ask to learn about the visits. We had only 45 minutes at the museum as we arrived shortly before it closed, and the Old City is a night visit not a day visit (during the day it is a construction site with no charm and no people). The 6 hour tour was over in 4 hours. DO NOT DO THIS TOUR IT IS A RIP OFF.

I had the pleasure of spending the day with ShahRukh! What a nice day I had! I was a solo female traveler in Saudi Arabia. My tour guide put me at ease right away. His knowledge of the country was outstanding. I learned so much. The itinerary was perfect. Not too much, because it was HOT, but also well balanced. The bay, the old Town, museum, mosques, etc. We even had time to stop for the famous Al Baik chicken! Thank you ShahRukh for a wonderful time!

Excellent 6-hour your. I arrived on Eid, which meant that lots of places were closed. But Saad made the best of it. Showing me the sights and views on the Corniche. Walking tour of the Old City and Fish Market. Traditional Saudi coffee and dates. Lots of information about Saudi culture. I would highly recommend Saad and booking with La Vacanza Travel.

We were there on a Friday. All businesses and museums are closed on Fridays. The operator should have warned us. In fact, there is no life anywhere before 4 pm, when shops are opening. We were touring a ghost city. Prepare to go back to the interesting places after dark, everything is full of life then. The tour should be offered after 4 pm.

Disappointing. Friends had done this tour the day before me and had a good day. I was driven to the museum which was excellent. From there to the historical district. I was dropped off there and left to fend for myself. I was extremely doubtful I would be able to find my way back to the car so I did not see much at all. I was then driven around other city highlights. There was no suggestion of showing me some place to lunch. We went back to the hotel. A 6-7 hour tour took just over 3 hours.
