Didn’t happen

Jane_M, May 2024

Didn’t get to go as the weather meant the trip was cancelled. I ended up sitting in my hotel lobby for over an hour before I found out. Communication with customers needs to be improved!

Brilliant

lynda_t, Apr 2024

The Etihad Tower observation deck was amazing, Palace was amazing and the Mosque was beautiful (I would suggest you go any day other than Friday as it was very busy

The tour guide was very...

Christina_E, Dec 2023

Our tour guy was Jahan. He did a great job with the tour. This tour was perfect for my family (teen boys). They are still talking about how beautiful the white mosque was. Highly recommend. thanks

Excellent guide and trip

Paul_M, Sep 2023

Mariana our tour guide was excellent and it was really interesting to see the Grand Palace and the Mosque as this is certainly not something you would ever get the chance to see in the west. Overall it’s was excellent value for money and we were picked up on time and the communication beforehand was excellent.

Fabulous tour

Mark_S, Sep 2023

Fabulous trip. Very well organised, great guide who explained everything perfectly for us & chatted to us. Great guy. The mosque and Palace were breathtaking. Magnificent buildings. Not to be missed if you are in Abu Dhabi.

Michel_B, Jun 2023

The tourist guide was excellent in guiding the group. He also explained well the significant information about the site that we visited.

Awesomeness in Abu Dhabi

Andrew_W, May 2023

Jahan was an awesome guide! From pickup to drop off, everything was fantastic. The Grand Mosque, Ethiad Towers, and the presidential palace were incredible. Lunch at the mall and a bit of shopping was perfect 🙂 20/10! A++++

Brilliant Tour

Reza_U, Apr 2023

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot to us on the tour about the different sites. He kept us engaged with small conversations and questions along the way

Driver never showed up!

Ken_Y, Mar 2023

Driver never showed up! I arrived on the MSC Europa Cruise Ship. I waited for over two hours in the terminal lobby which is easy to find as the cruise ship is over 1,000 feet long and 21 stories high. It can be seen for miles. I lost all my money and two hours of time. Use a different tour company!

Grand Mosque tour not to be missed

Alan_T, Mar 2023

This tour you don't want to miss if you are in Abu Dhabi, lots to learn about the Emirates. Tour guide very informative and looking after everyone in the group.

Great experience

Karen_G, Mar 2023

The Grand Mosque and Palace were amazing to see. The information that our tour guide Haseeb gave us was very interesting. Haseeb was friendly & knowledgable and we feel lucky to have him as our guide.

A must do trip

Jeffrey_R, Mar 2023

The Grand Mosque and Presidential Palace are very opulent and impressive. There were only four of us on our trip which was brilliant. Our guide was excellent at all times and very knowledgable. Highly recommend doing.

If you havent much time, definitely pick a tour. This was the only day we managed to visit 4 places during our UAE visit

Petar_Z, Mar 2023

Well organised tour, it's the only day during our 9-day trip that we visited so many places, indeed on a faster than I would prefer pace, but still. At the end of the tour we had the time to visit the Louvre on our own too. So we did 4 things in one day. Otherwise, you could do all those things on your own too, but with the tour will be faster. We barely did 3 things in a day otherwise. We stayed only 2 days in Abu Dhabi, that is way we took it. The second day we went to Yas circuit and Warner Bros theme park. We didn't visit Emirates Palace, maybe that's the other major place to see, and it is quite close to the last attraction...

A wonderful tour of Abu Dhabi's highlights!

Scott_S, Mar 2023

Had a great experience on this tour. Adith is a friendly, informative guide who was able to share a lot of information about Abu Dhabi and gave us plenty of time at each location. I recommend this tour as a good way to spend an afternoon and see some of the city's most important locations!

Great guide and fun trip

Kristen_E, Mar 2023

Our guide was great, she was so knowledgeable and super interactive. She made sure everyone was included, answered any questions we had, and gave us ample time at each stop. Lunch was great as well! Thanks, Sarah for a great day!
