3.00The date market stop of this tour is a blatant cash grab where you are thrown into a shop an expected to spend money. The tour would have been better without it. Otherwise, this is a great value tour!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! We had an unforgettable half-day tour and our guide Shafi made it truly exceptional. His communication, timing and organisation were perfect from start to finish. He shared so many interesting facts about Abu Dhabi, answered every question with patience, and guided us through each place with genuine care and kindness. Shafi made us feel safe, relaxed and well taken care of the entire time — nothing was rushed, everything was thoughtfully explained, and he always made sure we were comfortable. Visiting the Grand Mosque with him was an experience we will remember forever. Highly recommended to anyone who wants not just a tour, but a warm, personal and knowledgeable introduction to Abu Dhabi. Thank you, Shafi!
Great Tour!

5.00I had an amazing tour in Abu Dhabi with my guide, Sadiq. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the day. Sadiq shared so much interesting information about the city’s history, culture, and landmarks, and he always made sure I was comfortable and enjoying. His professionalism and warm personality made the experience truly memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommended! He was also an excellent photographer and he took amazing pictures for me.

5.00An incredible day with Shafi - picked up from our hotel and taken on a wide ranging cultural and heritage tour of Abu Dhabi. We sampled coffee and dates in the port markets, visited the heritage village and finished with coffee in the Presidential Palace. We felt completely looked after by Shafi and he gave us an excellent tour filled with history and development of the region. Would absolutely recommend this as your starting point to explore Abu Dhabi!
Excellent tour to see lots of different sites in half a day

5.00My wife and I had a long layover in Abu Dhabi. We figured this would be the perfect way to pass time and check out the area. It worked out great. Our guide, Sadiq, was well informed, and do the best places for photo opps. We went to the palace and the big mosque heritage village, as well as a couple of smaller stops. Conversations at those places as well as in between was very informative. Highly recommended.
Half day tour to keep in your books!
