Abu Dhabi 1 day trip - We were a family of 4 people. The trip to Abu Dhabi was good. The provided Car by the Ocean Travels was spacious. We had a good time. Riz was a good guide and accommodated all our needs very well. Will surely recommend OceanTravels to my friends and family. This was our second trip with the tours and we enjoyed thoroughly.

Tour with the best! - Riz was an amazing tour guide. He knew the best places to spend the most time and where a quick stop was sufficient. He was there to show us the perfect photo spots and offered to take pictures for us. He got us through the lines quickly and had our tickets ready before we even knew to ask for them. He is knowledgeable, friendly and cares about his tourists.

Nice tour that definitely deserves to be done - Despite booking only the night before, we got picked up at our hotel perfectly on time in morning, Our guide A.Hassan was super nice. The Louvre was better than expected. The grand mosque was such a beautiful building that will be long remembered.
