Wonderful Half-Day Abu Dhabi Tour

5.00Wonderful half day private tour of Abu Dhabi. Enjoyed seeing many sites I hadn’t seen before while learning the history of the region between and during stops. I was able to do some shopping at the market and have the famous gold cappuccino at Emerites Palace. Highly recommend Sreenoj as a guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and a great photographer. Since I was the only one on the tour we could cater it to what I wanted which was a bonus!
10/10 and ask for Noufal!

5.0010/10 recommend! Noufal Picked us up from the airport as we were only in Abu Dhabi for 8 hours. He was super knowledgeable and very friendly. He’s also an excellent photographer so you will get lots of great pictures! We saw everything we wanted and bonus, he dropped us at Yas island to finish the evening on our own.

5.00We had our trip today October 21 2025 and our experience with SHINOJ was nothing short of being awesome. Our experience with him as our tour guide to Abu Dhabi was very informative. He was very knowledgeable about the place. He was patient, humble, humorous and well organized in how he helped us planned our day. Places that he suggested was just well fitting for what we needed. Upon meeting him he was so warm and friendly. It was as if we knew him for years. Thank you SHINOJ!
Great city tour

4.00We got to see a lot in just a few hours and he knew the best times to visit places too. The mosque at sunset was very beautiful. Easy to tailor the tour to what you may like to see more of/ less of which is great.
