Incredible experience - We had a fantastic half-day tour in Abu Dhabi, thanks largely to our amazing driver cum guide, Shafi! He was incredibly professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable about all the sights we visited. Shafi made the tour so enjoyable with his friendly demeanor and engaging commentary. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend booking a tour with him! Also he patiently helped us take many photographs to make the trip more memorable. I would like to book a full day trip with Shafi again.

Great way to see this unique city - Amazing and intriguing city with a mix of very new and respect to their history. Beautiful and mind-blowing architecture offers Abu Dhabi an unique place to visit. As we were transitioning through the airport we took the opportunity to experience a half day tour. Perfect time to see the city on a staggering hot day (42deg) with a mix of walking through some sights and staying carbound. Highlight was the mosque and the National Day monument. Shafeek was insightful (I never thought I had to know the height of a flagpole) and respectful - keeping the car cool, offering water and at times briskly moving through the sights. Great way to see a very intriguing city
