Two of the most incredible architectural sites - Manny was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. His vehicle was clean and cool, cold water was provided and he knew the city of Abu Dhabi and its roads very well. The grand mosque and royal palace were extraordinary; amazing architecture and craftsmanship. I had never seen anything like it before. If you ever come to Abu Dhabi you must visit these two great sites.

Special Afternoon in Abu Dhabi - My wife and I were in awe as we toured Qasr Al Watan (Presidential Palace) and Sheikh Zayed Mosque; without a doubt, two of the beautiful buildings in the world. Both structures are architecturally stunning and reflect the rich history, culture and religion of the United Arab Emirates. We are happy to have selected the afternoon tour as we witnessed the Sheikh Zayed Mosque at sunset. The lighting of the mosque at night is breathtaking. Our tour guide, Ahmed, provided valuable direction and information. He also graciously offered to take photos. Highly recommended.

Efficient great visits - In general a very good tour, with clear communication before and during the tour. It was a half-a-day tour so good planning was necessary and fulfilled. The guide Annyesha was kind and knew how to handle the program. There was enough time at the palace and the mosque. So all good. My only reason for not making it a 5 star rating is the fact that I had expected to be guided in the palace as in the mosque by the licensed guide. Instead, w got topline information during the bus ride and were exploring the grounds by ourselves. I have no problems with that, as I know how to get my amount of necessary information, however the description of the tour was rising other expectations. In fact, the tour was a well-programmed and time efficient bus ride with additional top-line information on the sites and some places along the road. So it worked definitely, but information gotten from good sources and Uber could be the same, but more work. Anyway, I had a very enjoyable afternoon with great sights, for which I only had to in time at pickup point. No hassle with transportation, tickets etc. Efficient and easy.
