The Perfect Day in Abu Dhabi - Enjoyed a magical day in Abu Dhabi. Imran was the best at navigating me to each destination, including the Grand Mosque, the Presidential Palace, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Thoroughly enjoyed each stop and seeing the sights. Highly recommend!

Amazing Guide! Amazing Tour! - Waseem was amazing! Even despite the biggest rain in 75 years with flooded roads, he managed to get us to all our stops safely and on time. The tour is a perfect taste of Abu Dhabi!

Great trip to Abu Dhabi - We had an extra day in Dubai and decided to take a day trip to Abu Dhabi. Best decision!!!! We had such a great time with our driver, Imran. Imran was professional and courteous. He was very informative, describing landmarks along the way. He answered any questions we had about Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the other Emirates. The Grand Mosque is a must see in Abu Dhabi. Thank you Imran.

One Day in Abu Dhabi - Amazing experience visiting the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Imran was an excellent guide. He picked us from our hotel on time and drove us to Abu Dhabi in a private car. He made us feel welcomed and provided information regarding the city as we drove through different landmarks.

A Great Family-friendly Experience! - Our trip began with our tour guide, Imran who picked us up from the Palace Downtown hotel and brought us on a road trip to Abu Dhabi. Imran was very knowledgeable about Dubai's history and even knew the best photo spots! The highlights of our trip entailed the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Emirates Palace. Abu Dhabi is a lot bigger than Dubai; hence, it can take a while to drive from 1 tourist spot to another. For all future travellers, I'd recommend requesting more time in the mosque, and ordering the gold coffee at the palace. Avoid the UAE Heritage Village (this is worth a miss). For a day trip, it would be ideal to select 3 specific sights in Abu Dhabi and stick to them to really immerse yourselves in the experience. You can take your time. It's a lot more worth your while. Don't rush to try to cover too many places. A special thank you to Imran for his patience, flexibility and kindness. We had a great time and appreciated the chats in the car. The one thing I'd never forget is the colour change on the road tarmac when we got to Abu Dhabi! Apparently, that was the marking of the boundary between Dubai and Abu Dhabi! How interesting! Thank you, Imran! Kind regards, Nora
