An Unforgettable Abu Dhabi Experience
We had such an incredible experience exploring Abu Dhabi, and it was made even more special by our amazing guide, Naveen. From the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque to the excitement of Ferrari World, the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Palace Hotel, and the wonderful Date Market, every stop was memorable.
Naveed was honestly the best guide we could have ever asked for. He was so kind, welcoming, patient, and thoughtful throughout the entire day. He made us feel comfortable, shared so much interesting information, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. He even took so many beautiful pictures of us, capturing memories that we will treasure forever.
We will forever remember our Abu Dhabi experience, and a huge part of that is because Naveed made the day so special. We are incredibly grateful for his kindness and for all the wonderful memories he helped us create. If you are visiting Abu Dhabi, we could not recommend Naveed highly enough!

Would not book again.
Pickup was on time. SUV was very cramped with 6 people. After everyone was picked up, the driver-guide explained the itinerary. However, things turned out differently. We switched to a minibus with other people. There was a bit more space to sit, but the bus was uncomfortable and slow for the distance. In Abu Dhabi, we first visited Ferrari World Island. Pointless, you only stand at the entrance which is located in a small mall. Then we went to the date market, which was pointless as it was just a short stop in an unattractive setting for a sales event. Then there was another sales event with carpets - pointless. 2-minute photo stop at a distance from the Emirates Palace. Then 1 hour in Marina Mall. No visit to the Emirates Palace as promised. Then to the mosque, which is worth seeing, with sufficient time. Then back. At the hotel around 9:30 PM.

Dear Guest,*
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Since this is a *group tour*, we are unable to skip any of the stops that are clearly mentioned in the itinerary. As also stated, we use a *minivan/minibus* for these tours and the *time spent at each location is mentioned in advance*.
If we skip any stop for one guest, the other guests who wish to see that place usually mind it. That’s why it’s important for us to include every scheduled stop so the experience remains fair for everyone on board.
We’re glad you enjoyed the *Sheikh Zayed Mosque* visit. We appreciate your time and hope to host you again on a more suitable tour in the future.
*Best regards,*
Faizan – Abu Dhabi City Tour Team
