Honest comments from our guests

Honest comments from guests who explored Abu Dhabi and the Emirates.

Guest review

“We did the full day tour last Thursday, and it was honestly the highlight of our trip. Our guide Munees knew all the best routes from our hotel to reach Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque; he beat the crowds at Yas Island, and the local restaurant he recommended served mouth-watering local cuisine. It was a super long day and our feet hurt by the time we reached our hotel, but totally worth it!”
Eva T. (Age 40) · Full Day Abu Dhabi City Tour

Guest review

“Hired an SUV for a family of four. My mother walks with a walker, so the private car was the only option. Our driver hamid had loads of patient; he helped my mother with the walker at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and guided us through the area for wheelchairs. We took some extra time at the Heritage Village and Abu Dhabi dates market. He was extremely patient, and at one shop he negotiated for a Bedouin shawl. The car was well maintained, and he is a seasoned driver. Will book again when we visit Sharjah.”
Salim M. (Age 35) · Private Abu Dhabi Tour

Guest review

“I had a 6-hour layover before heading home to the UK and wanted to offer prayers at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and do some shopping for my wife. Pickup was right on time at the airport terminal. Saw all the main sights, shopped at Heritage Souk, and reached the airport on time. Shiraz, our driver, was polite and knew the history of each place we visited.”
Warren R. (Age 58) · Half Day Abu Dhabi City Tour

Guest review

“AD at night is simply brilliant. The city literally lights up, and our young driver knew how to zig-zag through the streets to take us to the illuminated Grand mosque and the Corniche Beach. He also suggested a local restaurant for dinner. Abu Dhabi, we are coming back soon.”
Nessa & Chloe (Age 28) · Night Abu Dhabi City Tour

Guest review

“Planned a day trip to Sharjah as part of my book research. The Museum of Islamic Civilization was fascinating and much quieter. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history. The driver was polite, quiet, and he drove well.”
Archie J. (Age 54) · Sharjah Day Trip

Guest review

“Booked the RAK tour because we wanted to see Al Dhayah Fort and the ghost town. The drive up Jebel Jais Mountain took a long time, but it was worth the drive. The driver was experienced and drove with care on the hairpin roads. Highly recommend!”
Manik J. (Age 38) · Ras Al Khaimah Tour
