⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely 5-Star Experience with Akbar! We had an amazing time on our tour thanks to our fantastic guide and driver, Akbar. He took us to the best photo spots and was always ready with helpful suggestions for dining options. Not only was he a very safe driver, but he also made the journey enjoyable by sharing interesting facts and stories about the places we passed. It felt more like traveling with a knowledgeable friend than just a guide. Highly recommend booking a tour with Akbar—he truly made our experience unforgettable!

Cool parks, our favorite in the Emirates. Warner brothers conquers with its fairy tale, the sky in the superhero zone is just something incredible! And in Ferrari World you get exactly that adrenaline that you will not get in one amusement park!

The Abu Dhabi Tour was amazing, everything was valueable and good stops he brought us to. The tourist guide, AsadAli5, was good and offered us water during the tour of Abu Dhabi. Mr Ali also dropped us at a restaurant for lunch, the restaurant was good and they have 3 branches in Dubai/Abu Dhabi.

it was a good trip. one day tour at various places in Abu Dhabi ending with the grand Sheikh Zayed mosque, which was the highlight of the trip. The guide was very accommodating and addressed our concerns. We were not prepared for the heat. If you plan this in summer be prepared with proper sun protection. Some of the destinations involve outdoor walking and the heat will make it difficult.

This tour of Abu Dhabi was amazing! It covered everything we wanted to see and more! Our tour guide, Muazzam, was exceptional. He explained the history of the UAE on the way to Abu Dhabi and also pointed out the important buildings we saw along the way! The Mosque was the most impressive, but be careful with the dress code because they are very strict (no white because it’s too transparent, and women must be covered from head to toe). Thank you for this amazing day!🫶
