5.00This tour was great if you have limited time in the city. We had an over night stay between stops so wanted to squeeze in a quick tour of Abu Dhabi highlights. Loved the Mosque and presidential palace. The heritage market was touristy and doesn’t require a long stop. The Emirates Palace was beautiful.
Great driver for each tourist point - helpful and knowledgable

5.00Our driver (Abdul) was awesome! Very prompt responses, knowledgable of the city, and quick pickup and drop off times. He was always a text away to take us to the next location, and very flexible with what we wanted to do and when. Thank you! Would highly recommend for anyone looking to hit the major tourist spots / highlights in one car and a fixed price!
Great 1/2 day tour

5.00This is a great tour that provides a glimpse into Abu Dhabi and its history. Our tour guide took us to a bunch of places and stopped for us to walk around and take pictures. This is a customizable tour and worked great for us since we had already previously gone to some of the places and could eliminate them in order to make room for other stops..
A perfect day with Ansar

5.00I had a great day on this visit with Ansar. Everything was very well organized, the explanations were clear, interesting and adapted to the group. Ansar is very professional, warm and always ready to answer questions. Thanks to him, I was able to discover many places and learn a lot while having a great time. I highly recommend this experience with Ansar! 🙏
The worst tour ever

1.00My tour was as best led by a driver and not a tour operator. Please understand that my expectation from this tour and with the money spent was that someone would be with us at the Grand Mosque and other places of interest and actually explain / take us through the entire place with a thorough understanding of the attraction. Alll that the guy did was pick us up and drop us off to the mosque and other places like any driver would do. This is not right at all and we felt extremely cheated as we could have done this by just using a ride hailing all. To top it all, when we got really fed up and wanted him to just drop us off at Teamlab Phenomena by 4 pm, he casually remarked that he is off duty hours by 2:30 pm. Hence, we just asked him to drop us off at the nearest mall and leave. We were much happier taking an Uber later. I would request that such an operator be taken off this forum lest other feel / get cheated in a similar manner too.

5.00Rahim was our tour guide in Abu Dhabi. He was prompt, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We chose a flexible itinerary and Rahim was knowledgeable about each place we chose to visit: the Grand Mosque, Abrahamic Family House and the Presidential Palace. He offered to take us to more, but we were fully satisfied with our half day adventure. I highly recommend this tour and Rahim as a tour guide!
Abu Dhabi half day tour
Rod C,,Oct 13, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00It was a tour of the mosque. The tour includes entry to the mosque. There are shops and food options within the mosque complex. By far, the mosque was the highlight and was amazing. You had up to an hour and a half to visit. We then went to a date market that had dates, nuts and candies. We went and toured the heritage village for approximately 30-40 minutes before ending at the Mandarin Hotel. There were other photo opportunities on the tour. They communicated via text. Was a great introductionary tour.
