Although they try their best to keep you entertained this entire tour is very underwhelming. The mosque is just ok, the stops are rushed, & you get little to no time at viewpoint. Very mid

Very enjoyable tour! Great energy from our guide Ibrahim. One of the highlights of our trip to the UAE. We got to see many different parts of the city all in one day that would be difficult to do alone. The tour was run very efficiently.

We took the day trip to Abu Dhabi and the tour exceeded our expectations. The itinerary was perfect, we would not have changed a thing. Our tour guide Ibrahim was amazing, he took photos for us and gave us lots of history and explanations at each stop, he was also very funny and had great recommendations (the authentic lunch recommended, while not included, was delicious). My wife and I really enjoyed our experience, it is a must if you are visiting Dubai!

The trip was ok in general. Tour guide was ok, it was a rush though. You get the photos and cant listen to the stories, you listen to the stories and u dont get the shots, for the Mosque.

Hossam was our tour guide and he was the most patient and informative young man. I appreciate his kindness and his mannerism was top notch.

It was a great tour. First, we saw the museums. I found them very interesting. Next, we went to the palace, where I managed lose the group. Our fearless leader was very good about it. Then, on to lunch and the Mosque. The abaya was quite warm in the hot weather. It was a very informative day.

Nasser was a wonderful, friendly and fun tour guide. The experience of the mosque was amazing and inspiring. Learning the history of the structure of the mosque was interesting. I would recommend this service.

Great day trip to Abu Dhabi, highly recommend to those who staying at Dubai but still want pay a visit to Abu Dhabi. Also if you are visiting alone, this could be the best choice. Special thanks to our tour guide Nasser, who is knowledgeable and is professional at photography (another perk of the trip if you are traveling alone).
