Our story

A focused way to explore the city

Since 2023, we have focused on showing Riyadh through carefully chosen tasting stops, neighborhood context, and a pace that leaves room to explore what interests each group most.

Every route begins with a date and group request, followed by dietary information collection, venue availability confirmation, and route and tastings confirmation before payment.

Tours usually depart at 11:00 or 16:30 from a market or food district meeting point in Riyadh, with booking available through the website, email, or by phone.

For private experiences, we adjust the route to the interests discussed in advance and build in time to linger where the experience feels most engaging.

Private culinary routes can reflect your interests, while still staying within the structure of the selected route and available venues.
