A great experience and one that I would recommend

Published on Nov, 2023

A wonderful and all inclusive tour with Nemish and a driver. We were picked up at our hotel and expertly driven to Abu Dhabi with a history given by our guide of the area and the culture. The sites were great and we visited the Louve Museum as well. A great experience and one that I would recommend

An Educational Day in Abu Dhabi

Published on May, 2023

Our guide, Saquib, made our tour well-worth the drive from Dubai. After picking us up at our Dubai hotel, Saquib used the 90 minute drive as an opportunity to explain UAE’s history, government structure, the different émérites, cultural protocols, agriculture, economy, and the differences between Abu Dhabi and Dubai (we asked). Our favorite stop was, not surprisingly, the Grand Mosque. Saquib timed our visits to the sites at hours when few visitors were present, which made our visit very special. He also explained the meaning of different structures and artwork. Even the outside marble is heat résistent to allow for daily prayers! Should you take this tour, women must wear long, non-see-through sleeves and pants. Women also must cover their heads. Should you come unprepared there are vendors outside of the mosque (in an internal mall) where you can purchase appropriate clothing. Men have more flexibility in dress, though they still need to dress conservatively (short sleeves and long shorts are fine, though most men wear pants).

Great trip

Published on Oct, 2022

The mosque is the highlight of the trip. Well worth a visit to see. Very interesting to see the diversity from Dubai.

Amazing tour

Published on Sep, 2022

We have been in this tour and was wondering. Worth every penny. Our tour guide Nimesh was excellent, he made our tour special. He knows everything we asked him, the best guide ever. Thanks.

Marvelous experience

Published on Jul, 2022

This private tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The personalized attention that a private tour provides is an incomparable experience. Our tour guide, Mehul, was amazing, very experienced and knowledgeable. We were truly blessed to have him as our tour guide as he definitely gave the extra mile (as we say in Puerto Rico) to provide us with the best experience and memorable tour. He provided us with great details and information, plus took us stunning photos of all of the places we visited. Our driver, Kishore, was also awesome and very attentive. The combination of having your own driver and your own tour guide provides a level of detail and attention you cannot get in regular tours. The experience of this private tour is totally worth it and allowed to see some of the most beautiful and recognized places in Abu Dhabi with great detail in a few hours. We will always cherish the marvelous experience we had.
