Abu Dhabi tour and Burj Khalifa

The city tour to Abu Dhabi with Royal Excursion Tour was a fantastic experience. The service provider by this organization was excellent and everything was very well arranged. The Hindu temple and de stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi were absolutely breathtaking and truly worth visiting. Due to long queues, time passed quickly and we sometimes had to rush to take photos, but despite that , everything was perfectly organized. The visit to the Burj Khalifa was also extremely well arranged through this company. In short, booking your excursions with Roal Excursion Tour is highly recommend!

Ok, but could be better.

Hashim is a friendly and knowledgeable person, and he made this activity enjoyable. Unfortunately, the activity description is not accurate. This is more of a driveby than anything. There was one stop of more than a few minutes and that was at the “museum”. It could be called a museum but was more of an endless sales pitch to purchase something. I found the description of this as a museum to be very disingenuous and distasteful. The tour was great as an overview and introduction to Dubai, which was what we were hoping to see. It could have been so much better if it adhered to the description and did not include an aggressive sales pitch portion.

Operator response

Dear guest thank you so much for your concern.the tour content is sightseeing tour and stop all the attractions in Dubai for pictures only. The museum we stop that is Islamic art gallery we stop only as per guest request.the guide thought you might be like this gallery and we highly appreciate you like our guide service and all attractions Thanks and best regards: Royal Excursion Tour.

Hashim Mohammed was our tour guide. He came on time and was very patient with us. He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about Dubai and the UAE in general. He was also very good with taking pictures of us at memorable locations. I highly recommend him and would book him again if possible.

Amazing experience and tour of Dubai

We had an exceptional experience on this tour. Our guide, Adnan, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided insightful commentary on both the historic and modern landmarks of Dubai. He took the time to ensure we understood the rich history behind each site, making the tour both informative and engaging. We never felt rushed; Adnan allowed us ample time to explore and appreciate each location. His professionalism and passion for sharing Dubai's heritage made this tour a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend this company for anyone looking to experience the essence of Dubai.
