★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 11 reviews · 4 hours · from $57

Review of the $57 Diriyah UNESCO tour from Riyadh, covering transport, At-Turaif, value, guide service, construction, and who should book.

“We were very disappointed by this tour. The driver was on time and very friendly, but there was no guide (misleadingly mentioned in the tour description) at Diriyah and the At-Turaif Unesco Site which we had to explore all by ourselves. In addition, there was a lot of construction going on, so the most interesting palaces and places were closed for visitors. Totally overpriced for what is basically a drop-off shuttle service.”
