Fun Full Abu Dhabi tour - Abu Dhabi tour was full of fun . Our experience was fantastic. Our Guide Inam was very professional, friendly and accommodating our requests. Emirates palace and Grand Mosque are marvelous and other places were beautiful as well. I definitely recommend taking this tour .

Wonderful Experience - This was a great excursion and you can make a completely customizable itinerary to whatever you’d like to see and do in Abu Dhabi. Our tour guide/ driver Inam was kind, wonderful, and very knowledgeable about the city’s history. Would definitely recommend!

The best guide with the best views - Saleem was very friendly and shared soo much valuable knowledge about the city. We loved how flexible he was and we planned the day perfect. I would definitely choose Saleem again. The city was magnificent the highlight of this trip was the grand mosque and the presidential palace.

A few areas need to be improved “art museum” is a waste of time - Overall it is an OK trip. However, I would not recommend this tour as there are a few things can be improved. First of all, the 1st visit to the so-called “art museum” is a completely waste of valuable time to visit Abu Dhabi. Nobody wants to spend half an hour if not more listening to the carpet sales pitch, especially the authenticity of these “art works” is highly doubtful. Secondly, the guide didn’t give any instruction on the itinerary unless we asked where was the next destination. We weren’t given much option on where to go even though it was a private tour. I understand there may be some language barrier but not making any effort to explain to the customers is just not cool. Lastly, we were drop off at 6:30pm at Fararri World to spend the last 2 hours of the tour there but it was closed at 6pm! so we had to wander around the close by mall which was also a waste of time. I wish as a tour guide should have known better what the destination schedule is. We are very disappointed at this trip but also nothing seriously wrong happened so a 2-3 stars is fair.

Disappointing, but still worth it. - This rating is highly based on what we happen to enjoy in a tour. So YMMV, depending on your likes/dislikes. Firstly, the frustrating. The company had us in a different hotel than we had booked. When I was told this by the driver the night before by IM, we corrected it. However, they changed the driver last minute, and the new driver went to the wrong hotel. Then complained when we finally got in touch. Very unprofessional, and not a great start. Based on other reviews, we were expecting a knowledgeable driver with lots of interesting information. Instead, as soon as we got in the car, he played videos on his car tablet about the sites we would see. One after another, with no interaction. The driver was pleasant enough, but did not want to engage in discussion unless we asked him questions. His English was adequate, but not great. At every stop, he would run on ahead and had us follow until we got to the "meeting point", usually in a mall, then he'd leave us without a lot of direction. The highlight of the trip was our first stop. Although the mosque was unbelievable and worth the trip alone, our drop off was strange. We were left in the middle of a store in the underground mall, and told we had an hour and a half to explore. We had to find our way to the mosque, almost missing the window of our tickets. We had to find our way back to the store to meet our driver at the end. However, the mosque was truly wonderful. Most of the other stops seemed to be opportunities to shop for (or be sold) things. We had a strange stop that wasn't listed on the itinerary at an"Islamic Museum", which was really a trap to sell "gold carpets" or something. The museum part was interesting for about 15 minutes, but the sales pitch had us flying out the door. We don't appreciate that the company must be getting a commission for taking us there. We even asked to adjust the itinerary before this to skip the site, and were told we could not change the itinerary, different than other reviewers. Ferrari world was cool, but again dropped off in a mall, and not much to see because tickets weren't included, so could just really go to the Ferrari store (or a hundred other mall stores) Heritage Village might be very interesting to many, but we prefer to be in a real old town than in an artificially created area. Again, there were stores selling goods. The date market was something we wished we skipped. Again, seemed that the company had an agreement with a few of the stores, and thus the reason we were brought there. The "Palace" was the former palace of the King, but is now a Mandarin Hotel, and reminded us of... well... a Hotel. Not worth the visit... maybe a picture as we drove by would have been enough. Finally, the mall for lunch was full of American fast food restaurants, FWIW. I will say, the price of the trip was very reasonable for the drive from Dubai and the access to the mosque alone. So overall, we are happy we went. And from some of the reviews, it seemed that there are some very strong guides that offered lots of extra information. Our guide was very nice and kind, but not as engaging.

Worthwhile Excursion But Beware - Our experience was most unprofessional. The tour guide waited until 9.30 pm the night before the tour for confirmation which in my Viator years of experience is very late and I missed the What’s App only notice. We were notified the morning of the tour that our private pick up was moved from 10 am to 11 am. Arriving from Toronto Canada the night before with 9 hours time difference this was not pleasant to hear the morning of the tour. It turns out that our driver arrived at 10 am for the pick up but sat in his car until 10:20 am waiting for us to find him outside. Note, he had a photo of my wife and I but we had no idea who he was or what to look for. After trying to contact the tour company by the app for 10 minutes, frustrated I contacted Viator for assistance who were helpful and the driver/tour guide entered the lobby of our hotel where we were instructed to meet 20 minutes earlier. We then proceeded to begin our tour. 20 minutes into the drive we stopped for gas, waited for a pump that was clearly broken then drove to another gas station to fill up. One would think professionally that being a tour operator driver and guide that the vehicle would be gassed up the night before? To top it off the maximum speed on the highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi is 140 km/hr. Our driver treated our ride like a formula one race rarely driving at less then the maximum speed limit, drafting within a few feet of slower cars to influence them to move to another lane. Needless to say the experience is not for the faint of heart. I mentioned that there was no need to push the speed and drive so close to others. The destinations highlighted by the Grand Mosque were very interesting and a must see for visitors. However be prepared for a high speed race to Abu Dhabi and questionable timing and character of your driver. Perhaps there is a way to connect in advance so you can avoid some of the worst of our particular experience. Additionally, fact checking some of the answers we received from our driver we learned his answers were incorrect.
