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.
