Visit of the grand mosque, palace and Etihad tower was really amazing. Moustapha was a great guide, he wanted us to enjoy the visit and we really felt it was genuine. He was very helpful, always making sure that we understood, that had the best pictures from the best places. He was always smiling and making the tour fun and enjoyable. Thanks to Moustapha for being such a nice guide!

Tive algumas dúvidas antes do tour e rapidamente fui respondida pela empresa de forma muito cordial e isso fez com que nossa experiência fosse marcada positivamente desde o início. Quanto ao passeio, foi muito completo. Para quem tem pouco tempo em Abu Dhabi, esse tour é ideal! O guia Hossam foi muito atencioso e preocupou-se em saber se estávamos entendendo, já que o tour é em espanhol e nós falamos português. Por fim, indico o tour com certeza!

Didn’t get to go as the weather meant the trip was cancelled. I ended up sitting in my hotel lobby for over an hour before I found out. Communication with customers needs to be improved!
