Great private tour of Abu Dhabi

A beautiful day

ANNEMARIE_R, Mar 2024

Visiting and absorbing the beauty of the Grand Mosque was the highlight,especially realising the artists and workmen that made the desert flowers on the pillars. The tranquility in the Mosque area is touching. The heritage village was very interesting too. But the actual highlights would not have happened was it not for the pleasant intelligent and excellent driver/ tour guide Abdul Karriem.We commend him. Thank you Anne-Marie and Sumarie Roodt

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great private guide.

Joanne_G, Mar 2024

The Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque and Emirates Palace Hotel were both spectacular. Our driver/guide was friendly and professional. We needed to buy new luggage as ours was damaged on our flight to Abu Dhabi. He drove us to Marina Mall so we could buy a replacement. All in all our experience of the days attractions and our driver/guide were superb!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great tour and fantastic guide!

Colin_S, Feb 2024

Musthafa took me on a great tour! I saw old and new parts of the city and loved it! We saw a lot of water, architecture, and culture. Musthafa was patient and very knowledgeable. He was a great driver and guide!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

A good stop over time filler

Katarzyna_H, Jan 2024

Our guide Ayoob was a talkative one who happily explained all the points of interest. He has some water for us. It was good stopover drive. You get a glimpse of Abu Dhabi in an air conned car with some explanations. The date market for me was the least appealing stop while the Mosque was the most attractive one.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

The Grand Mosque was...

Steve_M, Jan 2024

The Grand Mosque was astounding, and circling around Abu Dhabi gave me a much better vision of the city. The driver was excellent. My only suggestion is the pickup is at 9am, so by the time you get to the Grand Mosque, you can make the 10am cultural tour. We were too early and I didn't want to wait 30 minutes for it.

Abu Dhabi

Harry_R, Jan 2024

The mosque. A very memorable place to visit It was quite odd that underneath the mosque there was a shopping mall with a Starbucks

Must See Grand Mosque

Joe_M, Jan 2024

The Grand Mosque was clearly the highlight. Absolutely amazing. My wife had 3/4 sleeves & we were required to purchase an abaya, so don’t make that mistake. They were all very respectful about it, though. Tour guide was friendly, but difficult to understand.

Very nice experience. It gives you the possibility to visit the main city spots. The 90 minute visit of the Mosque is amazing. Shafeer is an excellent driver and a very good and kind guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Good overview of Abu Dhabi

Joseph_C, Dec 2023

Ayoob was a happy person, occasionally even quietly sang a song or two. He was more of a driver than a true guide, and his English was a little rough, but we enjoyed his company none the less. Saw the top sights. The Grand Mosque was beautiful but very crowded. Similar type of crowds you get at Disney during the high season.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Private tour in Abu Dhabi

Patrick_G, Dec 2023

Ayoob was great! He took us to the main must-see spots & even took amazing pics when visiting Emirates Palace Hotel. Highly recommend using him!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

In theory all was good, but the guide/driver showed zero enthusiasm to share information about the points of interest.

Barbara_A, Nov 2023

Our driver/guide was polite and friendly, but he wasn't engaged in his job. He was talking by phone most of the time, he didn't explained what was the itinerary or give us clear instructions on what was next, he did tell us about some points of interest and took us to the places we were supposed to go, but without any enthusiasm. It was clear he was just doing the less indispensable to do his job. We saw other guides enthusiastically giving information about the different points of interest. The chat service was very good and helpful.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear Valued Guest, We indeed to Thank your great feedback and for spending valuable time for us. We We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We will definitely try to improve our service more better. We are looking forward to your future journey. Once again Thank you

Vance_H, Nov 2023

My guide was awesome. Tour was great. Enjoyed the experience. This is definitely the tour I’d recommend

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Very dissatisfied

Robin_S, Nov 2023

The description was a tour in a luxury car (Chevy Malibu??) Not luxury in my book! Description was for english speaking driver, he understood very little of what we said. Misdirected us at the Mosque, costing us about 45 min of aggravation. Very nice person, but not informative or able to communicate.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Not as expected.

Sandra_B, Nov 2023

The driver did not communicate with us because he spoke little English. We visited alll of the places on the itinerary, but by ourselves. No information was given. He was very nice, but we missed a great deal.
