Quick Trip Bad Car Ride

Sarah_A, Mar 2024

They picked nice experiences like the Grande Mosque, Palace, and date market. The lunch options were good. I did not enjoy the Ferrari kids experience it was a waste of time at the end of a long day. The drive home at 145 km / hour getting on every drivers tail in 5:00-6:00 traffic was very scary and unnecessary. The car was also packed and uncomfortable.

Abu Dhabi Tour

Marlon_W, Oct 2023

Abu Dhabi was by far the highlight of our trip. Pinpointing one specific part will do all other an injustice, the whole tour was fantastic. Our host Ali was equally as gracious with his time and patience.

Not a great day

mattie_p, Oct 2023

This was the only event I booked during my trip that I regretted . I felt like I wasted an entire day . The driver had too many people in the car. I felt it was a trip of drop off. I did not learn anything different about Abu Dhabi, that I couldn’t just google. The driver did not drive very well and seem to just be annoyed with the entire experience. I would not recommend .

Efficient Way to See Abu Dabi Sights

Keila_I, Aug 2023

Enjoyed Abu Dabi tour to see some major sights. Liked that our tour operator already pre-purchased mosque tickets. Didn't have to worry about that. Stopped in 7 spots. Weather was really hot so outdoor exploration was limited. Not a whole lot of time to explore each of the sites (with the exception of the Grand Mosque ~2 hours were given). Overall it was a good day where we got to see lots of things in a short period of time.

The most interesting...

Ronald_R, Jun 2023

The most interesting excursion of all. Please continue doing such a great job. Will inform my friends.

Delighted to be at AbuDhabi

Neelaveni_T, Apr 2023

Grand mosque, emirates palace were worth visiting. A nice lunch we had at Abu Dhabi. Tour guide was a wonderful person. Well organized trip.

Excellent trip to Abu Dhabi

The reason for 3 stars:...

Grace_K, Sep 2022

The reason for 3 stars: The vehicle felt too crowded for 6 people + the driver. (Toyota 4 Runner)No leg room in rear of vehicle especially since the drive to Abu Dhabi was 90mins -2hrs with heavy traffic. Inam is pleasant & very nice & informative but I wish we were told in advance we had to pay to go into mosque & needed PCR ( we only had vaccination). Be aware the mosque is a money making business similar to a mega church in the US. We went into a mall with only vaccination then at the Ferrari place we were told we needed PCR + vaccination. No consistency & left on our own to deal with the guard telling us we cannot enter. This issue should have been left to our tour guide to deal with. We were taken to museums twice and realize these are more places trying to sell rugs and gold. Not your typical museums , very disappointed. Take money with you since this trip is not only about seeing Abu Dhabi but spending money. The last stop was to a shopping area with stores that sells Dates . Again it’s a haggle just to buy Dates. I only wish the site explained in more details we could make better decisions.

Interesting

Phebe_B, Jul 2022

Driver was interactive through out the drive, not cool that I had to buy a socks to cover my ankle before entering the mosque, even though I made sure to wear a full Abaya to avoid such for the trip. other than that it was an interesting trip and liked the experience.

Driver was friendly and...

Bruno_N, Mar 2022

Driver was friendly and nice, giving some explanations while touring and very helpful. Complete tour with all highlights and very good price.

Super Aleem khan

Cleiton_R, Dec 2021

the pass was amazing! RAH Tourism was extremely punctual and attentive, compressing exactly everything that was proposed. I would like to highlight the cordial, friendly and attentive service provided by the guide Aleem Kahn, who was always concerned about giving us information about tourist attractions and other information. I recommend the services, and if it is possible to choose a Guide, choose Aleem.

No highlight to our trip at all

Joe_M, Apr 2020

This was during the covid-19 timeframe and had a tour of Abu Dhabi from Dubai scheduled. We were a party of four men. They tried to stuff into a Toyota 4 runner in the back two rows of seats. Two diminutive Japanese’s women were in the first row of seats. The shortest of the four got in and his head was hitting the ceiling. There was no way we were driving two hours each way with our neck bent that way. They said they would send another vehicle at additional cost. We waited and talked to the concierge at the hotel and they found out what we were doing and say that EVERYTHING in Abu Dhabi was closed and taking a tour there was akin to fraud. We cancelled the entire trip. They sternly said we would not receive a refund. I told them that they would not decide whether we got a refund or not and would speak to Viator. Well we’ve sent two requests for refunds and have not received any responses. We that these are extraordinary circumstances but these also require extraordinary responses. We were not impressed with Viator in this regard. I hope this is a fluke but we will searching out other tour operators whenever we need a tour (which is often).

Good

Pablo_B, Mar 2020

We went in the middle of coronavirus crisis, so the Big Mosque was close, it was painful. However, Ali, our guide, worked hard to give us a nice day. He drove over lot of Abu Dhabi's places, and told us some stories about the places. Fortunately, we could get into the emirates palace and it's beautiful. We took a private tour for the prize of grupal because there were no more people.

Beautiful experience

Sandra_G, Mar 2020

Sohib was amazing! The tour was enlightening and we were given enough time to absorb the culture. His driving was smooth and he was prompt. We also had a lunch stop. I recommend.

Souvenir extraordinaire

Karine_G, Jan 2024

Mosquée sublime, tour de La ville agréable et guide très sympa. Une journée de marathon inoubliable.

Fabuleux

YayeKhady_D, Sep 2023

La Mosquée. La visite a répondu à toutes nos attentes. Dommage que nous n'ayons pas pu y prier. Nous l'avons ratée de 15 mn. Le Guide Zahir a été très professionnel et courtois. Les autres étapes étaient aussi très intéressantes

Magnifique

Jennifer_O, Sep 2023

Abu Dhabi est magnifique On n'en prend plein les yeux Le guide est super sympa La prochaine fois on prendra 1 pass pour Ferrari world il nous manquait que ça

Muy buena excursión, MUY MAL VEHÍCULO.

andres_m, Apr 2023

La recogida fue bastante puntual, el chofer muy correcto y siempre pendiente de nosotro. Las visitas dentro de lo programado, salvo una a un centro comercial donde intentaron vendernos unos tapices bordados de oro (aguantamos en unos cómodos sillones). Lo que sí me pareció mal, pero MUY MAL, fue el vehículo. Un 4 x 4 en que viajé siempre hecho un ovillo en el asiento trasero. Si no fuera por la disposición del chofer, habría puntuado mucho menos.

Visite de la ville d'Abu Dhabi

Sylvie_C, Mar 2020

Belle journée à Abu Dhabi. Notre guide Inam a été très serviable : il nous a emmené dans un restaurant local pour déjeuner qui était très bien et plus que correct au niveau du prix.

visite de la ville

stephane_g, Feb 2020

visite de cette ville hors norme….la mosquée est extraordinaire par contre l'arrêt dans un piège a touriste (soit disant un musée) c'est minable le guide ...bof pas tres marrant
