Not what we expected

ALEXANDRA_N, Mar 2024

Actually it was only a transfer to Abu dhabi and the places included to program. No guide. The driver didn't knew much to explain. Additionally the timetable was very tight. We didn't had enough time neither to grand mosque and lunch.

Very nice tour

Sergio_K, Feb 2024

The driver very good, nice and a great guide explained everything interessante about all turístic and historical areas at Abu Dabi

Very Informative and Enlightening

Jameece_P, Oct 2023

I liked the places that we saw and the history lesson provided by the tour guide. There are a lot of things to see and experience.

I should have just hired...

Divya_K, Oct 2023

I should have just hired a taxi for the day. The driver was great, but there was no guide. For someone less familiar, they will miss out the real attractions.

Beautiful and Informative Day

Karen_F, Jul 2023

Our guide was great. Provided cultural info about the Emirates and was very hospitable and accomodating.

Great experience in Abu Dhabi

miguela_n, Dec 2022

Abu Dhabi is a incredible city with all the tourist attractions and Our driver and tour guy Ali was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. This was a great experience because of Ali’s guidance and kindness.

A nice trip with a little research

Tammy_M, Dec 2022

Our guide was great and the mosque was amazing! We loved the royal palaces however the other stops were a bit lackluster. We felt like Ferrari World, the markets & even the art stops were very sales focused versus real cultural experiences. Having said that, this is a private tour so do your research ahead of time and I'm sure you can create a very positive experience.

Not a Private Tour, but otherwise good tour

robert_w, Dec 2022

This tour was NOT private but instead with 6 total guests + 1 guide. Not what I paid for and there was a different agenda set to skip the Louvre. The guide was able to squeeze in 1h at the Louve for me which I really appreciated, but from a "did I get what I was promised" tour this did not meet my expectations. I didn't find out until 11pm the night before that it was 6 people, and by then Customer Service could only rebook for 2 days later which didn't work for my schedule. I will say that the guide was responsive and a great guide and the tour was good, just not exactly what I paid for.

A must do for any visit

Amy_W, Nov 2022

We had a wonderful day exploring Abu Dhabi. Amjad was an amazing guide who not only adjusted our tour to meet our needs, but he went above and beyond whenever asked. I would really recommend adding this day trip to your visit to Dubai. It was interesting to see the differences between the two cities.

Choose a different company for this tour

Florence_B, Nov 2022

Viator should discontinue using Rah Tours all together. We booked a private tour, which to us means that we are by ourselves in a car to do the tour. Driver was an hour late, then we had to pick up more people, and they fit us like sardines seven people in a medium SUV. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes in a gas station for him to get gas which clearly needs to be done outside of the customers time. I was in the middle seat between two large men and uncomfortable for a 10 hour tour. The driver was very hard to understand so about 50% of what he said we did not understand. We travel all over the world and are used to all kinds of accents, but this was not understandable. He just dropped us off at the places and then picked us back up. Did not go in with us or explain anything at the sites. Took us to a place that was supposed to be the Louvre museum but ended up being a rug place with a sales pitch and then took us to a terrible buffet where clearly they drop off all the tourists. We tried to make the most of it, but were beyond disappointed with the quality of the tour. It is definitely not what is described in the viator site. We explaied to the driver that we had gotten a private tour and he contacted his company and then said that it had been a Viator mistake and I needed to deal with them direcly on it. They took no responsibility or tried to find us another driver to complete a private tour, even though that’s what we had paid for. Terrible!

Great service !

Roseline_M, Oct 2022

We were very pleased to have Shams as our guide , he is very patient , knowledgeable and trustful. As a family of four with two girls we were pleased ! The trip to Abu Dhabi was short and as soon as we got there we started all the main activities. Definitely recommended !

Adu Dhabi private tour

Yan_T, Sep 2022

Excellent trip with exceptional guid Ali Ghulam. He was friendly, knowledgeable and caring!! Beautiful views of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre and Ferrari World were amazing!!!! Highly recommended

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Karen_N, Sep 2022

Raja Abdul was a fabulous guide. He was very knowledgeable about Dubai as we drove through to Abu Dhabi and had many facts about the places we were visiting and Abu Dhabi and Dubai history. The Grand Mosque was incredibly beautiful and the Presidential Palace was breathtaking. We also visited the Heritage Village, ate local food (including camel) and stopped for photo opportunities on the Corniche. We can’t recommend this tour enough and especially our wonderful guide

Shafqat Ali is super...

GeorgeS_B, Jun 2022

Shafqat Ali is super great tour guide and very accommodating., No boring moments inside the car while traveling to the City because of the jokes and he provided information about Abu Dhabi’s amazing landmarks and the city. Additional services such as photography and brought us to a nice restaurant for our lunch. At the end of the tour we walk away with beautiful photos and stories that we can share with family and friends. Kudos to Shafqat Ali. We became friends with him in FB.

Great experience

TIRSO_S, Jun 2022

Great experience, our driver Qasim was super helpful and attentive. He arrived early for the pick up, but never rushed us to hurry up. More than a driver, he was our tour guide, explaining history, landmarks, and traditions of people. Highly recommend this trip.
