Bad experience made this tour sound better than it was.

Bart_T, Dec 2024
Disclaimer... I'm not a Karen or someone that likes to write bad reviews so this is not my usual MO. Our actual tour guide on the bus was very nice and compassionate to our situation. The operator of the tour was not. Very unpleasant day.... After being picked up 2 hours late (they said the driver had a possible accident in the morining) the operator Faizan Mirza kept saying he would be getting back to us with a new driver.. I had to call every 1/2 at least to get updates while he said he's working on it. I let him know we had dinner reservations for the evening at 6PM so asked if this would be an issue and he assured me that we'd be back in plenty of time. (probably so they could get their money from us) When a driver did show up, the ride to the another shuttle was hot and stuffy with little to no AC. We were dropped off to another driver which took us to another shuttle until we got on the final bus. The "Ferrari world photo stop" was nothing more than letting other people stop and get off and back on the road... Some of the "highlights were very misleading I belive especially the driveby photo oppurtunities which were miles away from the "driveby" The 2nd to last stop was the mosque which on our "5-7 hour trip" started at 5:45 pm which was already at 6 hours into our trip. So much for out dinner reservations. We were going to prepay for another excursion for the night, so I'm glad we chose not to do that bc we would have been out the money for it. It was nice to get past the crowds in lines in the mosque since we were on a tour. I called him back a couple of times about us missing our dinner reservations and all he could do is say cancel them. The only bright part of this situation was after expressing our dissappointment several times and not giving us an answer I asked if I should call the CC company to dispute the charges and he said finish the tour. After that he sent a couple messages and finally agreed to send a car to the last destination to pick us up and we skipped the temple tour. After skipping the last stop which was supposed to last 1 hour, we started back to Dubai.. We arrived at 8:30 PM which was 11 and 1/2 hours later than when we were supposed to start. If we took the last tour it would have been 12 1/2 to 13 hours of our day when we were prepared for a 5-7 hr day as which was stated. Tired, hungry and upset when we were dropped off. BAD DAY.

Wonderful

HOA_D, Apr 2024
It was truly an eye opening trip. We most enjoyed the Sheikh Zayed mosque and the Emirates Palace which were both beyond impressive. Many thanks to our tour guide Mirza for doing his best to provide us a wonderful touring experience.

Highly recommend

Our tour guide Mirza provided great information on our road trip to Abu Dhabi, we learned so much from him and was accommodating when we decided to end our trip early!

The mosque and Ferrari world were impressive. The overall trip was too long and the van was uncomfortable. The driver/guide however, was very good

Great Tour!

Lee_R, Mar 2023
The stories told by the driver made the tour worth while. He was kind and flexible in not stopping were we did not want to send time.

Recommend!

Christine_A, Jan 2023

Abu Dhabi

Barbara_A, Nov 2022
Views in Abu Dhabi Problem was no break for lunch or to have a drink. No water provided. Picked up over one hour late but tour was not extended by one hour. Visit to mosque was rushed and tour guide should have been with us like other groups

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your review, but honesty is the best policy around the globe, we have discussed during the tour and you were offered for the lunch time break, which you said no we ok, we need break for lunch we had heavy breakfast from our hotel in the morning, and Bottled water was given to you throughout the tour. But still Thank you for your feedback, Appreciated Your Time

I was visiting Dubai for...

Saraj_U, Jul 2022
I was visiting Dubai for work and really fancied a trip to Abu Dhabi At 1am on the Sunday, and after chasing, I found out I was the only booking. I then spent then next hour trying to sort things out. After a discussion I agreed to pay an extra 250 AED to make it a private tour, I was reassured that we would have a tour guide and not just a driver. I was also reassured I would be picked up at 10am and not any later. I was picked up at 10:30am The tour guide was bit a tour guide but just a driver, gave us no information at all whatsoever. Wouldn't recommend this company.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much for your review Mr. Saraj Uddin, but you are spreading wrong information to the People around, as you have confirmed in your review already that we were cancelling your trip because we hold the right to cancel if there are no enough travellers but you have forced us to take you for this trip. and we have requested you so many times, that Sir we will not be able to take this trip today as there was only 1 booking for you only, but yet we tried to make you happy by continuing the trip and infact you were with one of our best Guide, Moreover additional time was given to you upon your request. and we have offer you a full refund as well by the time we were cancelling this tour. all the timings and pickup point was communicated with you thoroughly before the start. and we were not expecting this kind false review from you Mr. Saraj, I suggest you to look into our profile we always go extra mile to make all the tours for guest more Joy and memorable, and by writing such false statements you are trying to impact our business which is bread and butter for many with us. writing such lies in the reviews will not be helpful for your either Sir. MAY GOD SHOW YOU THE RIGHT PATH

Great
