5.00Great way to see Abu Dhabi for a short layover stop. The day is packed full of the top sites in the city. Shafi was an excellent guide that worked hard to make sure we were enjoying our day and getting to see what we wanted to see. He took us to a wonderful lunch spot that had fresh seafood and was attached to the seafood market. The grilled shrimp was amazing. Another great find was a he Team Lab. We hadn’t heard of it before, but it was a great interactive experience and a highlight of our trip. Packing the day with so many attractions can make for a long day, but with limited time in the city, this tour makes you feel like you didn’t miss anything.
Wonderful day in Abu Dhabi

5.00We had Shafi as our driver for the day, he reached out ahead of time and was punctual the morning of our tour. Overall, what you get on this tour is exactly as described - a safe driver to visit all of the sites in the description. We chose not to go into Ferrari World or the Louvre based on our preference, but still ended up taking a full 8 hours. Shafi knew a decent amount about the area, but keep in mind that it's not specifically a guided tour. He will leave you at the entrance to the Mosque, for example, to explore on your own and meet up after, but was always very prompt and in a good spot to meet us. Long story short, we thought it was a great value for a private driver for the day, with some extra insights along the way!

5.00Shijar was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We had a 14 hour layover and this was worth the experience to see Abu Dhabi. Definitely recommend this and ask for Shijar

5.00Shafi was amazing!! Picked us up promptly at 10am at our hotel and had so much energy and enthusiasm showing us all we could in one day. We definitely tired out before he did but it was such a fun day and we learned so much from Shafi about the history of Abu Dhabi. If you want to see Abu Dhabi from an insiders perspective, we highly recommend this tour, it did not disappoint! The fish market was wild, stay close to Shafi and he will navigate!
Fantastic way to see the sights!

5.00We went on a full day tour around Abu Dhabi with Shafi. We only had a day and a half in Abu Dhabi and this was the perfect way to see all the sights and learn about UAE. Shafi shared so much knowledge with us and was able to answer all of our questions. He also recommended a fantastic place for lunch - the best food that we ate while there. There's no way we would've seen so much of the city without this tour. We,'d definitely recommend!

5.00Our private tour with Shenu was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited in the full day tour. He also provided clothes for the Grand Mosque for me and my friend to make sure we respected the cultural norms. He even found us a fantastic lunch venue to take a break from the heat. We were also able to customize our tour to make sure we saw only the places we were interested in seeing. Shenu took amazing photos for us and knew all the best spots to capture the cities’ beautiful architecture. Highly rated guide and excellent service.
I am really happy with my...

5.00I am really happy with my experience with this company. I had accidentally booked for pick up in Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai and the company worked quickly to find a driver in my area. Although the tour was delayed because of my mistake, everyone was very kind and helped me resolve the issue. Our tour guide was Fawaz, which he also made the day go by even more smooth. He was kind, respectful, and gave good tips. We tailored the experience to what we mostly wanted to see. I thought the price was very worth it for the fact that it’s a private tour and to your liking.
Great experience
