View on Google MapsA very enjoyable tour of Male! Don’t just head out to your hotel or resort without understanding the country you are in and the amazing people who live here. This is a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes. Pants are required for men to enter the mosque and women must cover their hair, shoulders, and knees. Be sure to bring these things with you - it’s worth the effort! Thanks to Hassan who was an excellent guide with a lot of pride in his country.
The guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. We covered the major sites which were all fairly close to my hotel.
There was very little information given by the guide during the tour. As Male is a small town , you can easily complete the tour easily on your own.

We had 2 guides, both were students on break. The first young man accompanied us to Villiingili island. There wasn't much to see there, but it was a different perspective of the country, very rural. The second guide, a pre-med student, walked and talked us around the main parts of the city. He was very knowledgeable and informative. The walk was at a good pace and ended in the local marked where we tried samples of a number of local snack foods; all very tasty. The city is small and compact, very walkable.
This is a great way to have a better understanding of the every day lives of people that live and work in the Maldives. Our guide Loly, did an excellent job showing us all aspects of daily life. We saw mosques, schools, parks, beaches and Villemale where many local people live is a hidden gem. We also saw the markets and the port distribution area to better understand where all the supplies come from and how they are distributed throughout the islands. I highly recommend this tour to see the real day to day life of Maldivian people. This tour was taken as a cruise excursion.
Our local guide was AMAZING!! The timing and day of our tour was perfection: Saturday at 8:00 - quiet streets, cool morning and informative guide provided a relaxing, well timed tour. Varah Bodu shukriyya.
I had an enjoyable tour of Male and Villimale with Aslam. While the islands are small and walkable, it was worth having a guide: he did a great job answering my many questions about the history, culture, economy and daily life of the people. He even showed me a few place not on the tour itinerary, like the Stingrays watching spot, Tsunami Monument, and Republic Square. He’s also super relatable as well.
Naura, our guide, spoke excellent English. She was flexible when and informative answering our questions as best she could. She waited patiently in the museum lobby while we were inside. She also helped us find a restaurant that was open to tourists during Ramadan (day fasting ) since most of the local restaurants were closed during the day. All in all a good visit .
Aslam, our guide, was awesome! He was very polite and smart. He was able to give us a tailored tour based on what we were interested in. He showed us lots of amazing things in Malé and made us appreciate the Maldivian ways and culture. Definitely a must-do tour during your Malé stopover to/from private island stays! Highly recommend this company. Kudos to Aslam for being a very accommodating and witty guide!
Most of people visit Male for its famous beach resorts and water sports, but we were only there for sightseeing and very short on time . As such , a good tour guide is very important. Our guide Hassan is excellent to give us a great insights about the place, its past and present, and the people. We are very grateful for having him as our guide.
