A must for any visitor to Abu Dhabi! - This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Hossam, was a real gentleman and clearly explained everything we saw as well a providing wonderful insight into his culture. The Grand Mosque and the Palace have to be seen to be believed. Stunningly beautiful. And the view from the Etihad Towers shows just what an amazing achievement the UAE is, a literal oasis in the desert. Highly recommend this tour.

The grand mosque, it was... - The grand mosque, it was not only beautiful but interesting. I tried to call the local number given to me because we had been waiting for a half hour, unfortunately there was no answer, our hotel concierge also tried to phone your company. I believe someone should have been available for assistance.

Nice tour, very bad guide. - The tour was OK, but the tour guide was a dud. He took us to the sights, but then he always disappeared and didn't explain anything. In the mosque we sometimes attached ourselves to other tour groups so that we could learn something. We should really have gotten at least half of our money back.
