Great tour in Abu Dhabi

Xavier_C, Apr 2024

Our Abu Dhabi tour was perfectly timed and we really enjoyed the different steps, the food at the Arabian buffet and of course we were impressed by the mosque, which is one of the most beautiful place that we visited during our life. Thank you to our great guide (April 23)!

Should have been postponed!

tab_a, Apr 2024

Tour great, driver/tour guide superb. But tour happened day after heaviest rain in 75 years and most streets and roads flooded. Had it not been for our excellent driver we would have been stranded in the dark in the middle of dubai. Trip took extra 4 hours to try and get everyone home safe. Trip should not have occurred.

Great way to see the city in one day

Elaine_K, Feb 2024

Great tour and prompt service. The best part was the mosque, you can skip the others if you are pressed for time.

Excellent Tour

Naomi_K, Feb 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Touring the mosque was an amazing experience.

Worth the money

Emile_G, Jan 2024

Zaher (the tour guide) was a great person. The only problem is the Mosque, the queue is too long and the bar code didn't work so I could not get in. There is no any logic behind having a bar code to walk through the machine to enter the Mosque. Anyway no much to see in the Mosque and does worth the hassle. The Heritage house and F1 were interesting. In general the tour is interesting.

Excellent tour - Thank you Mr Khan

Bhavin_P, Dec 2023

Mr Khan is a very knowlegable driver. He know around and made our tour very special. He went an extra mile to make ouur trip memorable specifically in a very busy time.

Great Experience

Jazmyne_M, Oct 2023

Our tour guide was very kind. I had to leave early for the airport and he hailed a taxi for me and made sure the driver knew where I was going.

Great experience for a day in Abu Dhabi

CK_L, Jul 2023

The tour guide is great. We were picked from our hotel on time. The tour guide then drive us with the whole tour in 12pax total. Have enough time for us to visit the Giant Mosque. In the mosque, we no need to wait for long queue. Because the time is quite good to get access.

I am 86 year old in poor health and this experience had a detrimental effect on my health.

michael_a, Apr 2023

Driver refused to ta take us as ,Abu Dahbi Port as we had agreed when booking was made.we are waiting to credit my credit card for the amount of $95.00 immidiately,

Bad Tour

Faye_Y, Nov 2022

There is no guide at all. The guide is simple a driver. Not informed full itinerary in advance. It says on website that guaranteed to skip the long lines. But when we arrived at the Mosque we still needed to queue in to enter ourselves. We saw other tours the guide accompanied to enter without queue and also guided through the Mosque. But not this tour. The tour also stopped at local shop and market to ask you to buy local carpets and dates, which were boring. We’d prefer more time in the Mosque and a stop at Louvre which was not included in the tour.

Excellent day trip!

Elaine_W, May 2022

I enjoyed the entire trip due to the flexibility and affability of our driver Amjad. He provided interesting information and adapted the trip to the interests of the passengers. And his driving skills saved us from a car crash directly in front of us!

Not guided by any means

Samip_P, Mar 2022

This tour is merely transportation from point A to point B. There is no guide at all. We were just dropped off at various locations with no clear pattern and told to return to the van at a particular time. Beware.

Don't book this tour

USBhola, Jan 2022

A group of 9 people and I was solo. We only had 1 hour for the whole mosque instead of the 2 hours mentioned. It was very rushed because the driver took us to see carpets which was not in the planning. Probably he gets commission fees from tourist sales... Very disappointed. He also took us to very poor restaurants. He then took us to date market, but that seemed to be also of his acquaintances. He stopped only in front of that store, while the date market consists of so many stores. Ferrari world was closed the day we came. For all activities the time was very very less. The driver was grumpy, unfriendly and didn't seem he enjoyed touring us around. Rest of while he drove, he was just scratching his head cause of dandruff orso. Disgusting. Very poor. Wouldn't recommend. Please book something else.

Abu Dhabi day tour

Adele_A, Jan 2020

This tour was a curious mishmash of sights. It began at Ferrari World, but there was no time to sample the rollercoaster. Could have done without the small fruit and veg market, but enjoyed the heritage village, president's palace and mosque. Day spoiled by being crammed into a vehicle that was too small. Those in the very back seats couldn't see out of the window or hear the commentary.

Mosque

RODNEY_H, Jan 2020

On the day of our tour, the mosque was overcrowded. As we go to enter, we were given a ticket and asked to come back in 20 minutes. We only had 1 hour and 15 minutes to tour. Once we finally made it to the mosque, we were super rushed along by the staff to keep moving. So we didn't get to take in the beauty and the spirituality of the mosque. We did understand this was nothing the tour company had any control over.

It was ok...

Michelle_W, Dec 2019

You get what you paid for. Nothing special they just hit the main sightseeing spots for a quick 15-30min photo. The driver would point out things along the way. What was unexpected was the shopping stops they'll take you to. Sights were pretty but the tour was overall boring.

Too rushed and wasted over 3 hours...

Lu T, Dec 2017

Too rushed and wasted over 3 hours picking up lost travelers. The driver was friendly but not really guided tour and spent more time looking at highway and finding clueless travelers. Very disappointing. Had 45 minutes to eat lunch and shop. I would not recommend this at all and in fact it was 50 more than it should have been given what little we saw and then spent 1/2 in carpet shop that I had absolutely no interest in but rushed through mall and date market. Viator I would speak to your local group about this. Not at all up to par. My ant was totally disappointed as well

Relativamente bien.

Julian_E, Oct 2023

Nos pareció bien el recorrido, muy bonita la mezquita, te llevan a un hotel enorme y super lujoso, se tiene una vista perfecta de los edificios donde grabaron rápido y furioso 7. En relativos términos, estuvo muy bien el paseo. No me gustó que nos llevaran a un "Museo" que en realidad lo que querían era vendernos unos manteles.

Deknudt_M, Apr 2022

Top, guide gentil et compréhensif malgré que nous ne parlions pas Anglais, nous avons découvert Abu Dhabi sous plusieurs forme, cela en vos la peine surtout la mosquée magnifique

Mosquée magnifique !

Karine_C, Jan 2020

La mosquée est plus que magnifique.Avant d entrer les femmes sont dirigées vers un dressing et reçoivent une longue robe avec une capuche .
