Worth the trip - I enjoyed this tour (Louvre and Grande Mosque) with David as our guide. I chose this over the ones that have more stops because I didn’t want to feel rushed. David was friendly, gave us a lot of history on the drive to Abu Dhabi and made it interesting. The Mosque is stunning. I could have used more time in the museum. Lunch is on your own in the mall next to the Mosque.

Good tour for the money - I had a terrific experience with this tour company but in particular with Fesal who was the guide for the Louvre and Grand Mosque Sheikh Zayed in Abu Dhabi. Fesal was professional. He spoke passionately and knowledgeably about Muslim culture and the background of the United Arab Emirates. When members of the group wandered off or were late to the rendezvous point, he did a good job of rounding up his group, which at times was like herding a bunch of cats. . He was readily available to answer questions and often anticipated requests for bathroom breaks, cold water or even the rare occasion for silence. I would tour with this company again.
