The island capital of the Maldives teems with high rises and narrow streets, all ringed by seawalls.

We took this tour before we left Maldives. We were able to check our bags at the airport and then get a taxi to the pick up point. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of both Male and the Maldives. We liked eating some of the local food, though we had been in Maldives for a week so had had some at the hotel. We did NOT like the art experience and would have preferred to do something else. They had us paint step by step a Maldives island. I don't need painting lessons and I don't need some small, not very good painting I made. A visit to another spot to learn more about history would have been preferred.

My guide Safooh has done a great job in introducing Maldivian culture and way of life. If you want to get a real local insight into the history, religion, and practically anything about how people in one of the most remote countries in the world have built their nation as it stands, you must definitely engage Maldives Tour Guide. Over and above historic landmarks, you will have a taste of their culinary offers, most especially fish-based dishes, as well as local legends you'd only hear from natives themselves. Don't forget to catch a rare glimpse of seaplane landing!

This agency was the best thing I could ask for to plan my Maldives holidays. Alex search for everything I wanted, and he delivered everything to the best rate I could find. Even in covid times, when I was not sure if I would be able to travel, he assured me of everything he figured out options stray away. He was super professional, polite, reasonable and correct! He made my Maldives holidays the perfect dream :) I was 3 nights at a local island and 4 nights at a resort. I had to worry about nothing, he organized the transfers and the hotels. I am really happy to have contacted him to plan my holidays. Thank you so much Alex for everything.

Though it is a late review, it is the one I just had to write as the experience was awesome. I visited sand bank and dolphin cruise with Mash from Secret Paradise. Maldives in itself is a beauty, sand banks are the most amazing thing one should definitely see while in Maldives. I was travelling alone with my daughter and Mash made it a wonderful memorable trip for the little one. Ruth from Secret paradise arranges all the activities and is very punctual and apt in replying to all your queries. During these pandemic times they are taking utmost care with very less group size for everyone/s safety which I loved.
