Shadab was our guide. He knew so much about Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He was charismatic and engaging! We truly enjoyed our day trip to see all of the beautiful mosques and architecture! Habitis, this is a wonderful activity to add on to your trip and get between the cities while learning more about the area, seeing exciting views and getting great photos! I’m so glad we did this activity

We recommend this trip. The guide was very polite and answered to all our questions. The amount of places we visited was perfect. Not too much that we should run everywhere and too little that it would be boring. We ciuld take photos and guide didn’t rush us. Only one minus was that evening before trip was written how we should dress up and even if we were dresed up as it was required we will had to put clothes that was suitable for mosque. If we knew that we will get clothes we could dress up a little bit looser. Now it was very hot. But besides that everything was very nice. Thank you.

Our tour guide Noor was exceptionally friendly and informative throughout the day. With a smaller group, we had ample time to stop, take photos, and immerse ourselves in the city's rich history. We were provided with complimentary bottles of water all day, had a delightful lunch stop after visiting the mosque, and enjoyed some free time near Ferrari World before heading back to Dubai. Despite covering so much in just one day, Noor ensured the pace was relaxed and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend booking this trip! A big thank you to Noor and Lets explore dubai for a brilliant day out!

The overall experience was fantastic. The tour guide was exceptional, and the Emirati heritage tour was very informative. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is breathtakingly beautiful. I appreciated the convenience of being picked up directly from my hotel. However, I was disappointed not to have the opportunity to enter Ferrari World and the Emirates Palace. It would be great if the tour company could make arrangements in the future to allow tourists to actually go inside these attractions, rather than just passing by them.

What an exceptional day! We managed to cover all the attractions in Abu Dhabi, with the added bonus of a visit to the Louvre. Although the visit was short, it was immensely rewarding. A special highlight was the Etihad Tower, which offers a much better view than the Burj Khalifa! Our guide, Jahan, was simply outstanding - always available, a brilliant photographer, and a true expert on the UAE. He provided us with insightful information on all aspects of the country and our visits, all delivered with a delightful sense of humor. Thank you, Jahan!

Here's an enhanced version in English: "We were absolutely impressed by the exceptional care and attention provided by our guide during the trip. From the punctual pick-up to the safe driving, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The guide's recommendations for beautiful spots to capture photos were perfect, and they even took stunning pictures for us. The entire experience was truly worth every moment and penny spent. We are deeply grateful, and if we ever return to the UAE, we will definitely seek out this service again. This has become the most special and memorable part of our journey in the UAE."

The trip was exceptionally well- organized, covering all the key highlights of Abu Dhabi. What stood out the most was our guide, Ibrahim, who provided a wealth of information and patiently answered every additional question we had. His friendliness, courtesy, and attentiveness were truly remarkable. Ibrahim consistently anticipated the needs of our group, something I've rarely encountered with other guides. It was an outstanding experience!

The Abu Dhabi tour was very nice and highly recommended. Thanks to our tour guide Hassan, the trip was a very special experience where we collected many wonderful memories. There is always enough time to look at the sights, take photos and ask questions. Thanks to Hassan, I learned a lot about the UAE, its history and its culture. I would book the tour again at any time. Everything was very well organized. Thank you very much.

Our guide Noor was exceptional, combining friendliness with efficiency. He was incredibly helpful at the Grand Mosque, ensuring we felt comfortable and well-informed about this remarkable site. The experience was truly outstanding. The Louvre was also impressive. While we could have spent a bit more time there to grab a bite to eat, the overall tour was very enjoyable. Noor made it relaxing and engaging throughout.
