Review of: Private Half-Day Local Experience of Malé
We took this tour before we left Maldives. We were able to check our bags at the airport and then get a taxi to the pick up point. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of both Male and the Maldives. We liked eating some of the local food, though we had been in Maldives for a week so had had some at the hotel. We did NOT like the art experience and would have preferred to do something else. They had us paint step by step a Maldives island. I don't need painting lessons and I don't need some small, not very good painting I made. A visit to another spot to learn more about history would have been preferred.…

He’s the only one who could get us through the 5-star resorts during the last minute. Our choice was between Club Med Kani and Adaaran Prestige Vadoo while the other agencies can only get us to 4-star ones. Impeccable communication and customer service too. Very detailed and very accurate. Best wishes to you. 💕…

Review of: Private Half-Day Local Experience of Malé
I never do tours or guided anything, when traveling and decided to try this tour. It was AMAZING! I was the only one on the tour and literally got more than what I paid for. My tour guide was Hussein. He was incredible - very knowledge-able about the city, the history, and the Maldives period. The tour included: the walk (of course), a painting class/souvenir shop, and passing through the local market. We went to the President's house, King's palace, 2-3 different mosques, artificial beach, Sultan Park, lawmaker's building (forgot the actual name), police quarters, a cemetery, and more. My favorite was drinking FRESH water from the well at the ancient mosque. Hussein was very open to answering questions about the country and culture. I learned so much during my time. This is definitely a must do. If you're ever in town there, you can personally reach Hussein at +960 790 3001. He would love to show you around. I'll definitely be in contact, when I go back.…

Although we are late to attend due to delay on sea plane flying. They are very well to prepare another time for us but eventually we didn't attend. It is so good for their services.

Shine met us at the Bank of Ceylon at the appropriate time. He was very cordial and seemed enthusiastic about his country. We visited a large mosque and other historic sites. He took us to the fish and fruit markets. We also joined him for the tea ceremony. He found us a slot in the submarine tour immediately following our tour with him. A very satisfying morning tour.…
