Great city tour of Abu Dhabi - Rashid was great tour guide. Wonderful communication prior to tour! On time pickup. Vehicle was great. Overall we were fortunate to have him as our guide. We went to Grand Mosque, city tour, Emirates, palace hotel, heritage village, market tour and stop by the mall for a quick lunch stop. I can 100% recommend this tour and Rashid. Wonderful experience and Rashid helped us learn about the past and present of Abu Dhabi!

Great driver and stops, amazing photos! - Normal is an amazing driver, guide and photographer! Picked up on time from the port and he gave us loads of information on the UAE state and the country. Each stop he parked nearby and was there waiting to pick us up when we were done. We had little photo stops and he was took such amazing and fun shots. Highly recommend this company and ask for Noufal!

Best experience ever in Abu Dhabi - I recently had the pleasure of being picked up from the airport by an outstanding tour guide in Abu Dhabi. Noufal, not only was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but he also demonstrated exceptional skills as a photographer throughout the tour. He showed me all the key highlights of Abu Dhabi, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city. Thank you for the fantastic experience!

Great half day tour - a must do when you visit Abu Dhabi! - I'm a travel agent based in the UK and wanted a tour to get a flavour of the main cultural sights in Abu Dhabi. Our half day tour (4 hours) with Shijar was perfect. He met us at our hotel (Conrad Abu Dhabi) and we toured Abu Dhabi in his roomy, comfortable and well air-conditioned vehicle. We visited the key cultural sights, however, it was the Mosque that really took our breath away. Shijar was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable and helpful, even providing me with a abaya with a shayla (long dress with hood) for our visit to the Mosque. Shijar asked if we wanted to customise our tour, which I did, as I wanted to visit Saadiyat Island to take a look at the hotels. Our tour overran by 30 minutes but Shijar never rushed us and was keen to show us as much as he could. I would highly recommend.

Excellent Private 1/2 Day Tour - My guide Shafeek was right on time. He suggested an itinerary for our 4 hour tour and I had another place that I wanted to see and he was more than accommodating to add it to our tour around Abu Dhabi. He included stops at all of the major sites, and also some good photo ops. Every time we stopped he never rushed me and just wanted to make sure I was satisfied before we moved on. He even took me to an incredible hidden photo op for the mosque which was a real winner! I would highly recommend him and his tour company.

Great Abu Dhabi Tour - Had a wonderful tour of Abu Dhabi. Rahim was waiting for us at 10am. He explained everything we saw, gave us extra time to look around. And he took us to the Date Market and clearly has an inside connection. We sampled dates, drank Saudi coffee, and really enjoyed this authentic experience at the market. The Grand Mosque was amazing and we enjoyed the other stops on the tour as well. Thank you, Rahim!
