We very much enjoyed the tour in a small group (6 persons), led by a nice driver-guide. We would have appreciated a bit more time in the Zayed mosque and perhaps a photo stop around Quasr Al Watan, but all in all it was the appropriate tour to get a first insightful impression of Abu Dhabi. We would truly recommend it!

We booked 6 activities from Headout in our UAE visit with family where rest 5 were phenomenal experience but this was a blunder. Infact In fact I did not got the service they charged me for and by mistake I have selected 5 star for this activity. The tour guide did not knew anything properly plus they made us sit in their car for 2 + hours as they did not got any confirmation from from their local tour operator about the package after escalating they took us to the mosque and dropped us at Louvre Museum rest I did not visit anywhere. I was with my 3 Senior Citizen parent and In laws and It was my wife's Birthday you guys totally spoiled. I need refund of my booking as I did not got the service I paid for . To highlight I spoke to Sahil from Custmer service at the tour was going on and Akash after the tour and shared the experience. Akash promised me the resolution in next 48 hours I am waiting for the same.
