Good tour with great guide!
Sulfeekar was not a “tour guide” and yet he knew pretty much everything and explained everything to us great. He also talked a little bit about his life here in the UAE, which we found very exciting. We thought the activities were quite fine. The mountain Jebel Hafeet was our personal highlight.
Operator response
Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad to hear that Sulfeekar’s knowledge, explanations, and personal insights made the tour enjoyable for you, and that Jebel Hafeet was a highlight of your trip.

Oasis and history
It was interesting to see the birthplace of Seik Zayed, although it is not as it was a little over 100 years ago. Arafat is a trained safe driver and has explained a lot to us along the way.

Insightful tour
My guide was knowledgeable but not overpowering. Relaxed experience which
is important. Paid attention. I found the trip insightful yet entertaining. I learned
a lot in a good way. But most importantly I felt it a worthwhile tour to do.
A break from in the big city and a feel of a more involved way of life.
I appreciated his patience.

Perfect Al Ain City-Tour and perfect driver/guide
The full-day city tour to Al Ain was a thoroughly successful event. Communication with GOLDEN LIMO TRAVEL AND TOURISM beforehand was very smooth and prompt. Pick-up by our driver and guide, Arafath, was as agreed and on time. Arafath was very courteous, always attentive, polite, and communicative. Within a very short time, we were able to establish a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere with him, which we really enjoyed! He not only actively informed us about the destinations listed in the itinerary, but was also very open to discussing the country, its people, and its culture. He also gave us the time we needed at each location without rushing us through the program. We highly recommend the provider, and especially our driver and guide. We will be happy to return to them on our next visit to Abu Dhabi. Thank you very much!

Amazing trip to Al Ain

Thank you very much. Barbora and Bohumil from Prague.
