Excellent Tour
Rebecca_P, Feb 2023
This was one of the best tours we took. Zee was a wonderful guide. He gave an excellent tour filled with knowledge. My husband and I enjoyed this tour, especially the Palace and the Mosque. We were picked up at our hotel in a small minivan. Very comfortable for the 14 people we had on our tour to Abu Dhabi. I would recommend this tour and one would be lucky to get Zee as your guide.
Great option for day trip to Abu Dhabi!

The tour fully met my expectations: small group and visit of the key highlights of Abu Dhabi (Mosque, Presidential towers and Etihad towers as the other places mentioned in the description can be seen only when passing by). The guide gave us a lot of information about Abu Dhabi history and the visited places. I was a solo traveler and It has not so easy to create to interact with the group but, for the rest, I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Great!

Very nice tour. There was a mistake with the language of the booking, but we got a good solution very fast. The guide was also very friendly and helpful. Great day!
Would use again

Great tour guide, easy to understand and well paced. Customized for what we wanted to see Would hire again.
Amazing!!!!
maxsantos, Jan 2020
The tour is amazing. At first me and my wife consider that having a good guide is essencial to any tour. In our tour we had an excellent English speaker guide (Mohammad Iqbal) and showed us a lot about Abu Dhabi, the tour stops and what we were supposed to do. The mosque is amazing, and the guide helped us to not be part of the crowd. After that we went to the palace, which was incredible aswell. We had lunch (Arab buffet) excellent. Since the tour company does not claim for commissions, our lunch was 15 AEDs cheaper per person. Then we went to Etihad Towers. Plenty time to take photos, walking and appreciating everything.
