It was awesome... - It was awesome experience. Informative trip with Mr. Umair, our driver. Really happy to plan a trip with you.

Very nice tour - The driver very good, nice and a great guide explained everything interessante about all turístic and historical areas at Abu Dabi

Great - Superb visit to Abu d'Abi especially the palace and the mosque and the twin tower view. Essential visit.

The best of Abu Dhabi with Ziad - Best of Abu Dhabi with Ziad from Oceanair, where he drove us from Dubai and took us to many places with good stories and excellent time management. The tour to the Grand Mosque was the best with a lot of history to share and best picture he took for us.

Rebutting some of the negative reviews here - I had a very pleasant trip thanks to Qasim. He tried to explain as much as he can about Dubai, Abu Dhabi and UAE. And because it was a private tour, he was flexible about time and accommodated to my preferences/schedule. I booked the tour the night before, and didn't look at the reviews until the payment was made. And because the negative reviews had me worried, let me share my full and honest experience. - Communication was great. Qasim got in contact with me within a few hours of my booking, and assured me that he will be picking me up from my hotel in the morning. The next morning, he contacted me again to let me know his exact eta. During the trip, he was also very responsive and let me know where he would be picking me up. - Driving/car conditions were better than expected. I had already experienced the aggressive driving styles in Dubai but Qasim drove very pleasantly. I sat in the front and felt safe. - Reasonable price. I was travelling alone but made the purchase for 2 which was the minimum number of participants. I thought $150 was reasonable for a private day tour even for one. - The only downside of my trip was the "gallery" we visited, which was just a souvenir shop. I didn't get anything and left in a few minutes, but I just felt bad/really awkard turning down so many items... I did see a foreigner who had apparently come just to shop for his daughter though.... not sure why he came there... not very high quality items/expensive. - Overall, it was great value for money. It beats having to take the bus from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and call/find a cab to get around the city, which was my original plan. If your flight from Dubai is after 9PM, I'd even recommend doing this tour on your last day before the flight because you can store your luggage in the car + do the day tour and get dropped off at the airport right away!

Very Informative and Enlightening - I liked the places that we saw and the history lesson provided by the tour guide. There are a lot of things to see and experience.

Disappointing visit - Mediocre tour; as most of the time was spent with the lengthy bizarre ordeal of getting into the mosque. Lots of wasted time after a 2 hour car ride. Entry is through a mall and waiting for a mosque tour guide to walk you thru security to the mosque. Too many photo stops in the heat! Mosque guide not attentive to seniors standing around in the heat especially with woman wearing heavy garments to cover clothes and head. No benches for resting while waiting for group to reconvene. No shuttle service at end of mosque tour back to mall. Long walk back in the heat! Inconsiderate to elderly. Plus our driver had no personality. We think he’s repressed and depressed. Not a fun day!

Not what we expected - Actually it was only a transfer to Abu dhabi and the places included to program. No guide. The driver didn't knew much to explain. Additionally the timetable was very tight. We didn't had enough time neither to grand mosque and lunch.

I should have just hired... - I should have just hired a taxi for the day. The driver was great, but there was no guide. For someone less familiar, they will miss out the real attractions.

Scammed - very disappointing. - Beware of this tour - they take you to locations which are not listed. They took us to Miraj (islamic heritage museum) where we were scammed of £900, they fob it off as the museum of Abu Dhabi - they sell fake gold carpets. The drivers obviously make a commission out of this and it’s absolutely appalling that this is happening in Abu Dhabi. Viator needs to remove this tour from their website to avoid other innocent people from being scammed.
