Christina advised us and organised our trip to Abu Dhabi, she bought our tickets to the mosque and the ferrari world, we had our own driver, who guided us and waited for us in both places. He was very halpful.
Amazing! We went to so many fun shops and places. I loved looking at the palace and the Heritage Village. Such a fun man and was always ready to help if we need anything!!! Highly recommend.
Hassan was very good and engaging and gave us lots of information on our trip - the locations were also beautiful. Definitely recommend it!
Hassan is friendly, explaining in detail history of the important point of interests. Provided plenty of time for photos and exceeded our expectations.
Great driver, very friendly and knowledgeable. Good choice of venues. Good communication for the pick up and drop off.
We had a wonderful day exploring Abu Dhabi with our host Khurshid Dar. He was very knowledgeable and always gave us the opportunity to ask questions. We were expecting it to be a coach trip but we instead had a car with our host and one other guest, which was great as we had a much more personalised experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to quickly see Abu Dhabi.
We had an amazing trip, Khurshid Dar was helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Throughly enjoyed this day trip and highly recommended.
Our tour guide, Dar, arrived perfectly on time and made the entire journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi both fun and informative. On the way, he shared fascinating stories about Dubai’s buildings and culture — you could tell he’s incredibly experienced after living here for 20 years. He answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm, and even kept us engaged by asking us thought-provoking questions when we ran out! Dar navigated everything smoothly and saved us a lot of time at the Grand Mosque by helping us get our tickets online. Thanks to him, we learned so much about the history of Dubai and the UAE — the kind of insight you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was absolutely stunning and definitely worth the visit. We also had a quick photo stop at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and later explored the date market, where Dar took us to a great shop and encouraged us to bargain for the best deals. Overall, it’s a perfect tour if you want to experience the highlights of Abu Dhabi while staying in Dubai. Highly recommended!
Great tour for those who do not have much time to visit the city of Abu Dhabi. It starts in Dubai, reaches Abu Dhabi in an hour, you have time to visit the Grand Mosque, visit a typical village, the Ferrari Word and a date market (which offers extensive tasting). Our guide, Khurshid, showed us along the way palaces, hotels, mosques and big companies of the city combining each of them with historical hints that make us understand the origins of the country at 360 degrees. Very open to dialogue and explanation of the Muslim religion -which is always interesting, since it is different from Christian customs. Excellent English language, very understandable.
I would highly recommend this day trip to Abu Dhabi to experience the amazing architecture and culture the city has to offer. My tour guide Khurshid Dar was especially great, very knowledgeable and gave our tour group in depth knowledge on each specific tourist site we stopped off at, for me personally the sheikh zayed grand mosque was the highlight of the day. This tour is worth considering if you’re staying in Dubai or any other location and would like to explore more of the UAE and it’s different culture.
