An Unforgettable Day in Abu Dhabi with an Outstanding Guide

5.00We spent an absolutely amazing day on this private full-day tour of Abu Dhabi, and it exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Sadiq, ensured we saw all of the must-visit highlights while also giving us a genuine sense of the local culture, food, and hospitality. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, allowing us to experience the city’s iconic landmarks as well as enjoy authentic local flavors along the way. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and tailored to our interests. A special mention must go to Sadiq - not only for his knowledge and professionalism, but also for his incredible photography skills. He is hands down the best Instagram photographer we have ever met and made sure we came away with unforgettable memories and stunning photos. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi and looking for a truly memorable, personalized experience.
Best way to experience Abu Dhabi in a Day!

5.00Had a wonderful day with Shinoj! He was very courteous, thorough, informative and kind. We had a chance to modify the agenda for what we were interested in doing for the day. We spent the entire day together from 930 until 530, starting in Abu Dhabi. It was a low stress way to have someone local and experienced take you to all the sites and make it a great relaxing day. Highly recommended!
Great overview of Abu Dhabi

5.00There’s no way you can really know Abu Dhabi in depth in one day, but this is a great tour to give a first timer an overview of what the city has to offer. There’s a lot of flexibility built-in so if something is more interesting, you have an opportunity to spend more time. We spent the entire day with Shijar, who provided excellent context, history, and insight about the city, making it so much more enjoyable. We were particularly curious, asking tons of questions, and Shijar fielded them like a champ!

Beyond his deep knowledge of Abu Dhabi, Shafi is genuinely friendly and made the entire experience engaging and fun. If you’re looking for a guide who is professional, expert, and personable, look no further. Five stars!

4.00I was then my one on the tour, which is probably not how you want to do it. Still, driver/guide was eager and nice. The tour starts off a bit boring as you visit the outside of Ferrari World and the mall, but then gets better in the afternoon. The best part was going across the street from the mosque at night to get photos.
