GREAT DAY OUT IN ABU DHABI - Excellent day tour, this company was very good to deal with. The guide was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The only downside was we were very cramped in the vehicle, but it did not spoil the day, and we got to know our fellow tourists as a result, which was a bonus. I would highly recommend this tour.

Mosque was great everything else meh - The mosque is the highlight. Everywhere else is to either sell to you or put you in a shopping mall. It was ridiculous! We went to a 'museum' and I use that term loosely. Initially it was an informative tour that quickly turn south when the museum guide started trying to sell us rugs, clothes, trinkets of all kinds. In fact it got awkward as the group realized what was happening. Outside of that we went to three shopping malls. Please note - shopping malls are not an excursion. The overall guide spent a lot of time on his phone whilst driving which was nerve wracking!

Abu Dhabi Trip - We booked and paid for the trip a month ago. We arrived at the pick up destination and waited for an hour and a half, but no one turned up to get us for the day trip to Abu Dhabi. We tried contacting them all day about this and didn’t get through to anyone until the evening. We were not given a reason as to why they didn’t pick us up. Such a shame as we were looking forward to the trip.
