Me and my wife had a beautiful experience. Learning about Dubai and abu dhabi. Durgesh Was our tour guide and was excellent with explaining everything. He answered any question we had and he even took our pictures for us. You should book with Durgesh he is very polite and knows his Dubai history very well. 5 star!

What an exhilarating experience, so much culture and learning, the place is beautiful, though more staff should be hired to avoid the long queue

The grand mosque is a must see when visiting Dubai. It about a one hour drive to Abu Dhabi where you will explore the most extraordinary mosque. Ladies must cover their heads, legs and arms. There are robes to purchase at a nominal fee if you don't have anything to wear. I brought a scarf for my head. I highly recommend this excursion

The guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. The excursion was nice, hence, it was so hot outside that we couldnt really enjoy like we wanted. If you have a disability this might not be for you. I had a hard time getting around and in and out the car. Unlike the USA there aren't a lot of accommodations for the handicap. However, overall its definitely worth the money.

Jameel was an excellent driver and communicator! He responded quickly on WhatsApp and was quite accommodating. The air-conditioned van ride to Abu Dhabi was easy and without incident. Jameel explained to us how to enter the mosque for the self-guided tour and ensured everyone was aware of the meet up time and location. He performed frequent head counts and kept a good pace for walking. Jameel told jokes and provided history throughout the excursion. It was nice to spend a short amount of time at the Ferrari venue, taking in what the location had to offer. We also stopped at a fruit/vegetable market, spent an hour or so at the mosque, made scenic stops for photos, and had an hour at a shopping mall for lunch. The van was suitable in consideration of the price point, therefore, I would recommend to others for a full-day trip from Dubai.
Estrella_D, Mar 2023
the tour inside the mosque was the best., but the rest of the tour was all the time in the bus, i chose this tour because include one stop for pictures at the Ferrari but the reality was the picture was with the sing if you want a picture with a Ferrary you have to buy the enter ticket. If you really want to enjoy the abudhabi tour s better that you include the visit to the palace. we feel some discrimination from our tour guide and the bus driver.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for your review.
Yes you choose wrong product instead of city tour with ferrari world you book for only city sightseeing where we clearly mention ferrari world only photo stop which clearly shows entry ticket not included.

There was only one choice given for lunch. Take buffet lunch. Our guide was
knowledgeable explaining the places of interest. Overall the trip is fine 😊
Carla_G, Feb 2023
Our experience was amazing! Our driver Yasir was awesome! I would recommend Yasir for anymore tour. He made our experience memorable!
Amir_W, Feb 2023
We had a great time!
And the best thing that we also had is our tour guide
Which we were so so lucky to have him!
Bilal razzaq
Ask to have him.

Our guide was fantastic! On time, comfortable car, and a safe driver. Had an amazing day with Shahzad! He took great care of us and we loved the tour of Abu Dhabi and the SZM. Breathtakingly beautiful.

The Mosque worth to see but the rest of places such as heritage village or the palace that you see from such a far distance was wasted time
Janice_D, Dec 2022
Pradeep our driver arrived on time for us, was knowledgeable and made this a lovely day for us. Would recommend.
ekuba_e, Nov 2022
The dates market, mosque, museum and ferrari centre were my highlights.
Driver was patient and educated us on the journey at a good pace.
Interesting about the Palace too
Atara_S, Oct 2022
Bilal was a great guide! We really enjoyed this tour of Abu Dabi. My favorite was the grand mosque :)
Juan_M, Sep 2022
Amazing tour of Abu Dhabi curated by a very knowledgable guide. Our guide provided a quick overview of the UAE and the significance of Dubai as we were leaving and of course the importance of Abu Dhabi. The mosque was beautiful and breath taking. Heritage village was a great experience as well. Highly recommend this booking and experience.
Cynthia_C, Sep 2022
This was a great tour that my sister and myself took. Our tour guide Durgesh Gopal was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and answered our questions thoroughly. He was very patient and did not rush through the tour. The mosque was breath taking and the highlight of the tour. The drive through of the king's neighborhood was very interesting. We also stopped at the heritage village and Ferrari world which we didn't particularly care for. All in all, I will be returning to Dubai soon and will definitely book another tour with this company.
jizzle_c, Sep 2022
I enjoyed the mosque . It was beautiful! Everything else was just okay! It was a nice trip to abu dhabi
Stefania_G, Aug 2022
The guides were really knowledgable as we were traveling through Dubai/ Abu Dhabi, letting our group know everything we passed by. As we got to the the different destinations, he kind of let us go off and do our own thing and we would meet back at a meeting ground.
Lisa_L, Aug 2022
The Mosque was beautiful however the tour guide was late and the tour was entirely too long it was 12 hours…

Thank you

Great tour guide! Very patient and helpful. We had a great time. Abu Dhabi is really beautiful! Highly recommend this tour.
Diana_S, Jul 2022
Hands down...an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Bilal, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and current events of Abu Dhabi. My husband and I loved his fun and witty sense of humor. If you're driving/touring with a group of people, small talk can be uncomfortable until you get to know a little bit about everyone. Bilal's outgoing personality helped keep those awkward moments to a minimum. We laughed, learned, and had a great time. The mosque was absolutely breathtaking!!! Women - make sure to have your appropriate covering. I brought a dress and shawl. I rolled it up and kept it in my purse until we parked at the mosque. I then put the dress over my clothes and Bilal helped me with my head covering. Once we finished touring the mosque, i removed my outter garments and kept my regular clothes on. This was the only part of the tour that required women to cover up. Even though we went in mid July and felt like we were melting, nonetheless, it was an incredibly enjoyable tour. By the end, I felt like I experienced Abu Dhabi at its best.

Highly recomended!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
JORGE_G, May 2022
Abu Dhabi a nice destination to visit
The mosque is superb
I will prefer to do not loose time in a vendor
DORINO_C, Aug 2023
Esperienza non positiva.Tour che non ha rispettato le aspettative, toccate in modo superficiale e fugace gran parte delle fermate previste. Bene solo la moschea e la tappa ferrari. Resto inesistente e tanta parte commerciale ....Per chi vuole vedere e fermarsi almeno per una foto non lo consiglierei, mi dispiace.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your honest feedback and we are really sorry for your incovencince on tour.
We already mention in our itinerary what places we have photo stop and where we go just frive through but still we promise will make improve to avoide any further inconvince.
Roberta_B, Mar 2023
Il tour ad Abu Dhabi vale sicuramente per la moschea...tutto il resto è un contorno un po scadente confezionato per i turisti
La nostra guida preparata e molto disponibile
Ahmed_m, Feb 2023
Je vous déconseille vivement cette agence!! J’ai attendu plus de 1h dans le hall de mon hôtel sans aucune nouvelle de l’organisateur ! Une fois qu’on nous a récupéré en minibus, nous sommes montés dans un bus à touristes. Nous étions une vingtaine. Le RDV était à 9h nous somme arrivé à Abu dhabi a 12h et nous n’avons pas eu le temps de bien profiter.
ren_A, Mar 2022
Yassir notre chauffeur était très attentif,très à l'écoute
Nous recommandons cette vite Encore merci a Yasir
AGNESADEKEMI_A, Dec 2021
bilal est à l'heure, très flexible sur l'agenda et à l'écoute. Nous étions 4 et bilal nous a accompagné dans la mosquée. Il donne beaucoup d'explications. c'est très agréable. Nous avons eu du temps pour faire du shopping et visiter si nous le souhaitions ferrari world.
Il a même pris des photos pour nous.
le seul petit bémol: la cadence un peu rapide de l'excursion pour ma maman agé
