An Abu Dhabi highlight!

KATELYN_L, Nov 2023

I first tried to buy tix on the official site, but they were sold out. Luckily I saw this listing for the same time! I personally did not need the pickup so I can’t speak to that part, but the tour itself was one of the highlights of my UAE trip! I learned so much from the staff, and it was very engaging. We also met a kind gentleman bringing his falcon in for an exam while we were waiting, so it was interesting to get his perspective as well.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Viator rip-off

debra_m, Jun 2023

I took my trip on Jun 11, 2023 Booking no 1409413859. The Falcon hospital was very good but i am unhappy with Viator. I have used your company many times and it has been my go-to source for trips. I was however overcharged for the trip i recieved and have contacted Viator now 2x to get a reimb. I signed up for the trip which cost $217, including food and drink. what i received was the Falcon hospital pick up and drop off from hotel and admittance into the Falcon hosp tour where i joined another tour group of 25 people. The cost of the alternative Falcon tour, not including lunch or beverages, on your website indicates "from $75". I expect a response from Viator and a fair reimbursement for the difference in pricing.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for sharing your review. I'm glad to hear that you had a great experience at Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, and I apologize that you are dissatisfied with the pricing. I would like to bring to your attention that your booking was specifically for Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital with round trip Private Transfer from Hotel to the Falcon Hospital. When booking with transfer services, the price will always be higher than the ticket-only option. Additionally, our tour description clearly states that food and drinks are not included, as we offer a tour with transfers only. It's worth noting that Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital organizes group tours periodically for corporates and schools, aiming to raise awareness about Falcons as the national bird of the UAE. I kindly request you to review the tour description once again to address any concerns or doubts you may have.

Very educational

Meghan_B, Jan 2020

Excellent tour. We loved learning about the use and treatment of falcons in the region by owners and the importance on culture. Also incredible to be able to see the hospital and see those animals being treated as well as their boarding facilities.

wonderful experience
