Basically you pay for very expensive taxi to the Diriyah. There were no guides from the Viator, they didn't book a guide for us inside the Diriyah.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

I was not satisfied with the time we waited for the bus to pick us up from the hotel, further we had to pick up passengers from North of Riyadh and then go to Diriyah which is west of Riyadh. The driver did not have good knowledge of Riyadh, he did not give any information of the areas that we went through or the sites or the huge buildings that we saw on the way.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Ad-Diriyah is a beautiful place and our tour guide was very pleasant. However, the price is expensive for a short and simple guided tour with pickup and dropoff. I recommend looking elsewhere for a guided tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hello Chris, thank you for acknowledging Ad-Diriyah's beauty and our pleasant guide. We apologize if the tour's cost seemed high for the experience. Your feedback is valuable, and we're committed to enhancing our offerings. We appreciate your recommendation to explore alternative guided tours. Please feel free to share more details, as we aim to continually improve and provide a more satisfying experience in the future.
