What are people saying about Abu Dhabi

Tiffany_S, May 2026

Our guide for the private...

Our guide for the private tour was Ahmed. He arrived promptly for our pickup in Dubai and was great communicating throughout the process. He gave us history and insight as we drove around and was very nice for the whole day-we were lucky to have him conduct our tour. You truly can make the experience as personalized as you want and will not feel rushed (were able to add time for Ferrari World and Louvre). Highly recommend and loved our time visiting Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Layover City Sightseeing Tour - Private & Flexible

Elena_A, Mar 2026

I had a long layover in...

I had a long layover in Abu Dhabi and really wanted to make the most of it instead of staying at the airport for the whole time. This was the perfect way to do just that. Khalid was a wonderful guide with a profound love of the city that you could really feel. We covered a lot of ground and he explained the history of many of the sites that we drove by and answered a ton of my questions. Khalid was like a local celebrity. Almost everywhere we went, people knew him. We made multiple stops at important places, had a wonderful lunch, and even got to see some cars doing test runs on the F1 track. I got back to the airport with plenty of time to catch my flight while still feeling like I got a full day of culture. Really a perfect way to get a quick feel of a city without having the stress of dealing with transportation. Definitely recommend for anyone transiting through Abu Dhabi.

Smooth and Well-Paced Private Tour with Shakir

We had a very pleasant experience with our private guide Shakir in Abu Dhabi. He was well-prepared and clear in communication, taking time to go through the itinerary with us at the beginning so expectations were aligned. Throughout the day, he managed the schedule smoothly and adjusted the pace based on our comfort. Shakir was courteous, attentive, and professional, especially at cultural and religious sites, where his manner made us feel comfortable and respected. He never rushed us and maintained a calm, considerate presence throughout the tour. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience. We would recommend Shakir to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful private guide in Abu Dhabi.

A Perfect Desert Adventure in Abu Dhabi

This desert safari was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The dune bashing was exciting but felt safe and well controlled, with a very skilled driver.

The BBQ dinner was tasty, with a good variety of food, and the atmosphere in the desert camp was relaxed and welcoming. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. A perfect way to experience the Abu Dhabi desert!

Great morning in Abu Dhabi

A great morning Ayoob was very knowledgable, and took us to some lovely places, and knew where the best photo stops were, great photographer too, helped us download our tickets for the mosque and even had robes for those that needed them. There were four of us on our trip so much better than going with lots of other people.

Very fun experience and great value! The dune thrill rides in the SUV was a blast, these guys are skilled at what they do. If you get motion sickness, this part is not for you. Great sunset pictures, quick camel rides, sand surfing, dinner and entertainment. Fun evening to spend in the desert and highly recommend!

Great tour organisers

At first, I wasn't sure, but I was impressed with the tour. They picked me up and dropped me off at the mosque, where we waited for the tour guide and the group to arrive from Dubai. The guide, Hamsa, was knowledgeable and understanding of everyone's needs. He explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. I certainly recommend this tour.

Great experience

I enjoyed this tour a lot. Our driver, Awais, is an experienced dune basher and navigated dunes like a true professional. The camp part of the tour was entertaining: camel rides, buggy rides, delicious meal and a show. The gentlemen at the camp are wonderful hosts and very accommodating. I highly recommend the tour company for this adventure.

Helen_C, Aug 2025

Wonderfully Memorable.

Viji was my tour driver as he called himself rather than tour guide. After a few glitches with the internet to register for the Grand Mosque visit we were on our way. What an absolutely incredible time I had & the tour was far more than I expected. Viji quickly personalised it showing me the best & allowing me to experience some very unique opportunities eg having a Gold Cappuccino at the exquisite Emirates Palace Hotel along with some great photos to remember this fabulous time in Abu Dhabi. I’m very grateful. Such a wonderful tour.
