5.00We had a fantastic Trip to Abu Dhabi with our superb guide Khalid. He took us to many beautiful places and always gave us enough time to enjoy the sites. His knowledge about AD is amazing. Khalid also took lots of pictures from us, he always had good ideas about the best photo spots. We as a couple were by ourselves, so we Had a very private tour. We were carried around in a small van, very comfortable. Khalid also provided bottled water throughout the Trip. We had an awesome time, brilliant day trip to get familiar with AD. Not to mention everything was well organised as well.
Great beautiful day with our guide Khalid

5.00We spent two amazing days exploring Abu Dhabi with Farhan and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. His knowledge of history, culture, and everyday life in the UAE was outstanding. Born and raised here, Farhan gave us insights and stories you’d never hear on a typical tour — the kind of depth that would take months to discover on your own. He answered every question with patience and encouraged us to be curious. Kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does — Farhan made us feel welcome from the first moment. We highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want to experience Abu Dhabi (or Dubai) through a truly unique and authentic lens. His new company has a bright future, so don’t wait too long to book — he’s a rare find!
