Fabulous tour and fabulous day. Saw all the hotspots in Abu Dhabi and the mask explanations are on par. The drive through the city and the hermitage was great! We also thank him for taking us to the state store and for all the fun and informative adventures of the day.
I was fortunate to have Shabeer as guide for the tour. He is simply the most pleasant, personable and knowledgeable professional guide I've encountered through all my travels. Besides all designed itinerary, Shabeer also took me to the Emirate Palace to marvel all the grandeur and enjoy an afternoon gold cappuccino. The transporation is clean, safe and efficient. Overall top notch tour and I would give 7 star if possible:)
Loved the Mosque. I have recommended this tour to all my friends.
Excellent guide and great tour highly recommend .
The driver is on time and willing to stop at a hotel so that i can send a postcard. It is the majestic Royal Palace Hotel. Don't expect every driver to dot that because the guard wont let you in if you don'st stay there. I don't think he took us to the real souk but a little wholesale date market for 2 minutes. But again he added a few extra stops and the whole experience is fantastic.
The Mosque part of the tour was amazing! Heritage Village was ok, but it was short and lacked structure. The real downside was the “Souk” - it was basically a large, modern store attached to a hotel and they make you sit and listen while they try and sell you very ornate rugs. Not was I envisioned!
