Absolutely worth it – perfect Abu Dhabi highlights tour

A very well-organized tour covering the main sights of Abu Dhabi. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was absolutely stunning, with enough time to enjoy and take photos. The Corniche drive and views of Emirates Palace were beautiful, and the stop at Etihad Towers offered great city views. Qasr Al Watan was truly impressive. Professional guide, smooth transport, and all admissions included. Excellent value and highly recommended!

Excellent way to learn about Abu Dhabi

We expected a great day to see the highlights of Abu Dhabi and received exactly that. Our guide/driver was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about Abu Dhabi and the UAE. We visited so many sites during the tour and learned so much about the city. Our guide was also very accommodating to include dropping us off at the Dubai Mall at the end of the tour at our request.

This tour was great if...

This tour was great if you have limited time in the city. We had an over night stay between stops so wanted to squeeze in a quick tour of Abu Dhabi highlights. Loved the Mosque and presidential palace. The heritage market was touristy and doesn’t require a long stop. The Emirates Palace was beautiful.

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.
