I had the pleasure of having Aziz as our tour guide during our recent trip, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that he was not only an expert driver but also a fantastic guide. Aziz was extremely knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating insights and stories that brought the places we visited to life. The comfort and safety of the ride were top-notch, and Aziz made sure we were always well taken care of. He went out of the way to ensure we had plenty of time to explore, answer all of our questions. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable and stress-free experience, and I’m grateful for the warmth and professionalism Aziz brought to our tour. If you’re looking for a driver who is not only skilled but also passionate about their craft, I highly recommend him

Excellent. I was contacted by Youssef by WhatsApp immediately after booking to confirm the pickup time and location. Pickup was from my hotel, on time and just a short drive to the ranch. There were only two other people booked on the activity so it was a nice small group. We covered a lot of distance, on all different types of terrain; some on-road, dirt tracks, beach… On the beach near the lagoon, we had the opportunity to really open the throttle and get some speed which was really fun and exhilarating. The instructor gave us opportunity to pose for photos which were taken on our own phone at no extra cost. An excellent activity to spend half a day on this gorgeous island. Thanks to Youssef and his team.

Excellent. I enjoyed the camel and horseback caravan ride so much I booked for the 2h horse ride. One to one ride on a lovely well behaved horse. I have risen only a couple of times but felt very safe. Enjoyed the ride along the country trails and the beach. The instructor gave me chance to trot and canter with the horse. He took lots of photos and videos on my phone at no extra cost. A wonderful experience to enjoy the nature and scenery on horseback.

Very informative tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. I did the tour on a Sunday which I LOVED because Medina and city center were quieter and less crowded. Not as many shops are open on Sunday, so if want to shop in the Medina, I suggest booking the tour on another day. Great tour overall!

Was a great day out and very entertaining. Cannot beat it for the price.
