Fell in love with Abu Dhabi
Mandyappleseed, 13-06-2022
Our tour guide was Ali. He was amazing! I went on a private tour with my husband. He was very informative, patient and kind. The mosque was beautiful, the farmers market type place was cool we got some coffee and chocolate, the old town was interesting with all the coins and different artifacts and the art museum was so beautiful. We stopped for lunch but we weren’t hungry but the food looked great! We really enjoyed it!
Visit to the Grand Mosque and Abu Dabi.

Highly recommended full-day visit to Abu Dabi. Travel is by comfortable bus with an excellent tour guide, Mr Muhammad Jameel. Our first stop was to the Grand Mosque, a second stop at the Emerates Heritage Center, a nice lunch break, another stop at Ferrari Word & Yaz Mall .
Marvelous experience
joseeduardob2018, 07-07-2022
This private tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The personalized attention that a private tour provides is an incomparable experience. Our tour guide, Mehul, was amazing, very experienced and knowledgeable. We were truly blessed to have him as our tour guide as he definitely gave the extra mile (as we say in Puerto Rico) to provide us with the best experience and memorable tour. He provided us with great details and information, plus took us stunning photos of all of the places we visited. Our driver, Kishore, was also awesome and very attentive. The combination of having your own driver and your own tour guide provides a level of detail and attention you cannot get in regular tours. The experience of this private tour is totally worth it and allowed to see some of the most beautiful and recognized places in Abu Dhabi with great detail in a few hours. We will always cherish the marvelous experience we had.
Amazing tour

We have been in this tour and was wondering. Worth every penny. Our tour guide Nimesh was excellent, he made our tour special. He knows everything we asked him, the best guide ever. Thanks.
Faisal is the best guide

Faisal was an excellent guide and took us around Abu Dhabi for the day as a day trip from Dubai. He made a special point to get us to the Grand Mosque early to avoid the crowds. This was the highlight of the day and he brought us there at the perfect time. He was knowledgeable and friendly so we highly recommend him.
Great trip
