Our guide, Ibrahim, was great as he was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept us all on track. The palace and white mosque are amazing. Be warned the traffic and drive can be long but it’s definitely worth the trip.

This experience was made memorable by the excellent care we received from our guide Abnan. The palace and mosque were unbelievable and the pictures Abnan took were creative. Highly recommend this company as they are well organized and kept us informed about the pick up and drop off. Well worth the money. Marina Christoff

We had a fantastic day with Moja. Moja was a font of knowledge about the history of the UAE and the sites we visited. Moja was very professional, friendly and helpful. The day went so quick and we saw so much we highly recommend this day trip.

I booked this tour because of a friend's recommendation, now I strongly recommend this tour to everyone else. Abu Dhabi is such a beautiful city. Both the Royal Place and the White Mosque are magnificent. They are must-see. The tour is also well organized. Our guide Moja did a good job serving tourists. Thank you for everything!

The sites we visited were fascinating. The guide walked too fast ahead of the group on crowds without looking back despite being asked to slow down and check on his group

Perfect day trip to Abu Dhabi, full of information about the people and culture of the UAE. Guide did a good job of moving us along from stop to stop. Could have done without the Louvre photo stop, especially after sitting in traffic for 90 minutes trying to park.

Fantastic tour in every way! The coach was comfortable, excellent driver. Our guide Ramadan was terrific, well organized, friendly, welcoming and he managed to keep our group together and on time! Would highly recommend this tour and this guide! The Mosque and the Palace must be seen while you are here!

Well worth it. The mosque is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the palace was closed and we did the louvre museum and that was really nice as well. Seeing the awesome view from the Etihad tower was stunning

This is a great experience, you must do it:) Abu Dhabi is a much quieter city, so this tour is relaxed but still exciting! Our guide Ahmed Hussein was a proper host. Amazing experience!
