Dr Thamer is really an awesome tour guide! He speaks good English and so warm and welcoming! Really enjoyed time with him, he took us to a local restaurant which is great too. He also was flexible enough to drop us off at airport, which is appreciated!

Here is the corrected version of the sentence:
It was a wonderful tour with our guide ( Mr. Thamer of Riyadh Lovely Tours). He was knowledgeable, professional, respectful and caring. He ensured we got all the necessary information for this short half-day trip. Thank you ( Shukran ) Thamer.

Thamer did an excellent job. The tour visited almost every major tourist site in Riyadh, and Thamer’s knowledge was exceptional. This tour visits the historical heart of old Riyadh as well as some of the more modern areas too. I would highly recommend this tour for a short stay in Riyadh.

Our extremely kind and knowledgeable guide Dr Thamer took us on an amazing tour of some of the main attractions in Riyadh. We started at the old city of Diriyah, which gave us a facinating incite to the birth of the Saudi Kingdom. This was followed up by a visit to the National Museum for greater historical perpective. Next stop was the old Souk for a bit of shopping, and then we were treated to some Saudi coffee, dates and sweet Saudi pancakes. We ended the tour with a visit to Kingdom Tower and the spectacular view of the city from the Skybridge on the 99th floor. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Riyadh looking for an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable day out.
