5.00Great trip, everything on time, friendly and helpful guide. If you are wondering if a trip to Abu Dhabi is worth it - yes, definitely. This one covers a few great places. May feel a bit rushed at times but you have to accept you're in a group with a tight itinerary to see everything. Recommended.
