Ansar gave us a great tour of Abu Dhabi. His communication to meet up with us was excellent, he was very thoughtful with pictures, and he took us to all the highlights! Our favorites were the Grand Mosque and the dates tasting. I highly recommend!

I had no idea what I was getting into, but I booked this anyway. I had a 9 hour layover in Abu Dhabi and wanted to kill some time. My flight arrived early and messaged my tour guide Viji, he replied right away and picked me up early. Viji was very accommodating and tailored my tour based on what I wanted to see in the amount of time I had. The car was nicely air conditioned and Viji had water for me to drink. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a long layover in Abu Dhabi between flights, and this was the perfect way to spend it! Musthafha the guide was amazing! He picked us from the airport straight from arrivals and was so welcoming! He spoke perfect English, offered bottles of cold water and took lots of photos for us to take home the best memories! Musthafha is very knowledgeable, so friendly and clearly loves his job. He was a fabulous driver and truly made our experience for us! He helped guide us through all locations to make sure we didn’t miss anything and didn’t feel lost! We saw all of the must-see sights of Abu Dhabi without feeling rushed within the timeframe and was dropped back off at the airport. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city and would definitely choose Musthafha again!

Mustafa showed up on time, explained the places we will be visiting - he was open to take me to few landmarks to take photos - was patient and always stayed near to pick me up - after visiting a specific location.
