I went with them solo and the guide tourist Mr. Yunaz Saeed was wonderful! He explained almost everything in the abu dhabi trip, with every mile we drive he’d tell us to look right and left and explain what everything is, and as someone who asks a lot of questions he did not disappoint with answers ! He was soo kind and i really enjoyed my time, the only negative thing that i could say is timing wise, we arrived a one and a half later, but he was soo nice and kind about it specially after knowing i was in hurry and drove me first to my hotel! Seriously an amazing trip 🙏🏻

A wonderful discovery. The driver picks you up at the hotel. Visit to the qsar al watan and the great mosque. These are the only two stops of the day. The guide shows you a few monuments and explains a little about Abu Dhabi. There's also time for lunch. We enjoyed the tour, the sights are spectacular and a must-see.
