    The tour and the guide itself was good and we enjoyed our time when in Abu Dhabi but we were expected to make our own way to and from our Airbnb despite it being only 10-12mins away from the pick up point whilst everyone else was picked up from their hotel. I paid the ticket price with the expectation that I will be picked up and dropped off and not to spend extra £10-20 on transport to and from the pick up point. I would not have booked if they let me know about this. Very disappointed to only be make aware of this at 6am in the morning on the day of the tour with a phone call when they had 3-4 days to let us know but they did not let us know on purpose so the ticket was not refundable. I'm very disappointed with this.
