Informative and Interesting City Tour - Our pick up from the hotel was hassle free and on time. The tour covered a range of venues which gave us an insight into the UAE's history and allowed us to experience so many things in a short duration. Our tour guide was very informative and answered all of our questions. Lunch was above our expectations and thoroughly enjoyable. The highlight of the tour for us was being able to see the palace.

Interesting day trip to Al Ain - Our pick up from the hotel was punctual. Chamil, our guide, was very friendly & very knowledgeable and easily translated during the ride to Al Ain between English & German. He spoke both languages fluently. The tour itself was very interesting with all the stops that are mentioned in the description of the tour. My favorite was stopping at the oasis and seeing the guy climbing up the palm trees) I wish they would do a stop at that old market in Al Ain, which would be even more interesting. I can highly recommend this tour (especially for the price you pay) to get a good look at Al Ain and surroundings.

Great pick up service. The drive... - <p>Great pick up service. The drive through the desert to Al Ain was fascinating with interesting commentary from the tour guide throughout the drive. Visiting the mountains bordering Oman to see the oasis was breathtaking, date farm was interesting with ability to buy great dates. <br/> Overall a great tour with only a few minor issues. Maybe too many sites to visit in one day making it a very long day, people attending the tour should be considerate of others and return to the bus at expected time rather than make people wait<br/> The camel market could be missed as its expensive not an extra cost and yields little</p>

We only stopped shortly by the hot spring within the park on the bottom of the mountain. I got this mainly because I thought we would go up the mountain. </p> <p>Besides that I enjoyed the tour.</p>
