Great Guide - We were 1st time visitors to Dubai. We find Oscar travels and Waseem efficient and professional. He texted us the day before the tour to inform us the pickup time which brought us ease and comfort. We were on a private tour which allowed us time flexibility. Waseem also made sure there was no hitches with pickup stops. He was also friendly and flexible. Great guide👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great Day trip - Good conditions on the transportation, waseem was very profesional, will just recommend to go all the way inside the mosque untill guest cross with tickets since as you get to the mall you can get a little lost but other than that very well

Wonderful tour of Abu Dhabi with our guide Waseem - Excellent tour experience for us enhanced by our affable, polite, pleasant, engaging and informative tour guide and driver WASEEM, who arrived on time (he said he was actually in the vicinity minutes earlier but only drove up in front of our hotel at the agreed designated pickup time) and drove us straight to our first destination - the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque which we toured for more than an hour. Next up we enjoyed touring the magnificent Emirates Palace Mandarin Hotel and the Heritage Village before taking a lunch break at Marina Mall. We next headed to the Abu Dhabi Dates Market (which we specifically looked for as part of the itinerary) where we had a taste and purchase of a variety of date products and to the Abu Dhabi Ferrari World for a brief sightseeing and photo stop on our way back to Dubai. We had a wonderful time with WASEEM as our guide.
