5.00The administration team was efficient and flexible to change the start time for me. My guide is Ali. He is fantastic. He was patient and kindly to take very good photos for us. He has a sense of humour and made us laugh a lot. He also provided lots of information about UAE to us. I couldn’t ask for a better day. Thanks Ali and the team!

5.00We enjoyed a fantastic Abu Dhabi tour today (Christmas Day) with our guide Noor. The itinerary included a Louvre photo stop, Qasr Al Watan, Etihad Towers, and the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Each place was impressive and well worth visiting and we are so happy we took this wonderful tour Noor was an excellent guide—very helpful, informative, and professional throughout the trip. Thanks to Noor’s excellent photography techniques we have some fantastic photos he so kindly took of us and for all his other clients at the various sites - he truly is a star and an asset to the tour company We would also like to mention and give praise to our driver (unfortunately I’ve forgotten his name - my apologies) who expertly and safely drove us around throughout the day - thank you so much We truly appreciated both the attractions and the great guidance which made our trip to Abu Dhabi very memorable. A highly recommended tour not to be missed !
