Great Half Day Tour on a Layover - We were absolutely happy with everything! Sadiq relyably picked us up at the airport, on time as planned. Spacious car (minivan) and good communication of the pick-up spot. He is also a very good guide, showed us eveything on the itinerary and took great pictures.

Amazing trip - The program was excellent, Aziz was very friendly, he was pro in dune bashing. You can see and pet camels, and ride if you want to. The dinner was very delicious. But do not forget to bring a jacket for the evening. I would definately recommend, if you want a glimpse of the desert. Besides, the tour provides perfect opportunities for breathtaking photos.

City Tour while we were on transit - We had a long transit and this was a lovely tour of the Mosque and city. The driver was helpful and knowledgeable of the city monuments.

Not what we anticipated. - We had a driver rather than a tour guide. Drivers changed part way through. We were dropped off at the mosque and picked up again when we left the mosque. We looked around but did not receive any explanation of what we were seeing. The driver took us to the gold and fig markets and merely let us walk through without any background information. We expected an educational tour rather than a taxi ride. Very disappointing!

Badly organised tour - We booked this tour thinking it would be a group tour, but it was only my husband and I in a car with a driver, who hardly spoke or understood any English. The concierge at our hotel was very helpful as they rang the company to find out whether anyone was coming, I think the tour operators had forgotten about us!!!! When finally the driver arrived an hour later than scheduled, there was no apologies from the tour company. We were taken to the places as described but felt that we were rushed. At the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, we were left to wander around ourselves. At the Heritage Village, we were there for less than 15 minutes as it was closing, so very rushed didn't get to see any demonstration of the culture. At the dates market we were taken to one shop and couldn't wander to any of the other vendors. The gold souk, well we didn't get to see this as it was shut by the time we got to the area. The driver offered to bring us back an hour later, but by that time, both of us had enough and just wanted to go back to our hotel. Badly organised tour.

The Half Day Abu Dhabi Tour - The Sheikh Grand Mosque was spectacular. The Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental was okay. We were not taken to the Heritage Village or the, Dates Market. The driver’s knowledge sharing was very limited.
