It was a good tour. Our guide Shijar was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. But the the time allotted to the entire tour wasn't nearly enough. The Heritage Village needs at least 45 minutes to an hour, not just a half hour. The Grand Mosque is an amazing place. Its huge and extremely crowded. We practically raced through the place and still exceeded the assigned 1 hour limit. By the time we came out of the mosque, it'd have been great to have a short down time, at least for a cup of coffee. We were exhausted and hungry and considering the time for the guide, we declined his offer to visit the date souk. It was more than 4 hours already. We enjoyed what we saw, but still came away rushed, frustrated and dissatisfied.

We enjoyed the tour very much. The guide was very informative, and the whole tour was excellent. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Shijar was an amazing and informative guide who was so friendly and helpful. Communication via WhatsApp was regular prior to pick up and whole tour was seamless. Highlight is The Grand Mosque which was stunning and a must if visit Abu Dhabi.

A great overview of Abu Dhabi in half a day. Our driver Noufal was great, shared lots of interesting information and was very patient and accommodating. We had already been to the Heritage Village so he included an alternative tourist point which was appreciated. The Mosque was stunning and whilst as a female I was wearing appropriate clothing, Noufal had a traditional robe with him which I could wear. Definitely recommend the trip.
