Exceptional! - It's my first time for Abu Dhabi and UAE in April 2024. I had tight schedules of business trip and limited time for exploring the city. Abu Dhabi has countless tourist attractions which I couldn't complete all by myself. One-day personalised trip was the best for my condition. Last year I chose the similar one in India and felt very impressed with not only the agency (Viator) but also the tour guide and team in making my special trip happen. Mr. Noushad was the one who was assigned this particular task in Adu Dhabi. He's an Indian guide and driver who was punctual, polite, knowledgeable, flexible, and talented. We discussed the attractions I preferred and set the priority before leaving my place. We went to the Yas Marina first, followed by Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, CLYMB™ (the world’s ultimate adventure hub), Abrahamic Family House, Saadiyat Island, Louvre Abu Dhabi, dates market, Al Mina fish market where we had wonderful lunch cooked by fresh fish and seafood from the sea, Corniche beach, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi where I tried aromatic cappuccino sprinkled with real 24 carat gold flakes and enjoyed the magnificently beautiful interior design, and Etihad Towers which car jumping scene in the Fast & Furious 7 was shot. By the end of the day, we visited Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque as a last place. I'd seen the world’s largest chandelier, world’s largest hand-knotted carpet, and one-of-a-kind architecture both outside and inside this mosque. Throughout the trip, Mr. Noushad was a very good narrator and photographer. He gave me lots of in-depth information and could proficiently catch my right moments, compositions, and atmosphere. I got lots of beautiful and much satisfied photos from him. On the other hand, my trip was adjustable, relaxing, and no rush. I was very pleased and highly recommend this one-day trip to the other tourists esp. Mr. Noushad who had an important role in this unique trip. Thank you so much.

A Must Do in Abu Dhabi! - We had a wonderful packed day. We had never been to Abu Dhabi and only had 3 days to explore. The itinerary was ambitious but our guide was able to keep us on track. We were given the flexibility to change some things if we wanted to spend more or less time at one of the stops. He provided water, time for lunch and a unique perspective on the real daily lives of the people living there. He provided water which we really appreciated. He opened the doors for us and really made us feel welcome. He also answered the dozens of questions we had being very knowledgeable about the history, architecture and tolerances in the beautiful city.

Full day in beautiful Abu Dhabi - Noufal did a great job of showing us the best of Abu Dhabi. He was very kind and patient with us. We were very impressed that he had outfits for the women to wear when going to the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque. The women thought they had appropriate attire, but unfortunately their clothes didn’t cover wrists and ankles. If Noufal didn’t have the appropriate cover for the women, we all would’ve had to turn back after walking a long way to the entrance as many others did. I highly recommend this tour!

Great trip, great driver - Our driver Shijar was very friendly and looked after us for the entire day. We were driven in comfort with plenty of bottles of water provided to us during the day. We got to see the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Heritage Village, Sheikh Zayed Memorial, the Louvre, the Gold Souk, the Emirates Palace and the Dates Market. We had a wonderful day and I would recommend this trip.

Day trip in Abu Dhabi - We booked a customized version of this trip and our driver and guide, Shijar, made it an unforgettable experience. He was very knowledgeable and ensured that my elderly parents who were travelling with us were well taken care of. We visited all the top sites and learned about the city and its attractions. The Mosque is a place you definitely do not want to miss. I would definitely recommend Riyago Tourism and would ask for Shijar to be your guide when visiting.
