We had a leisurely, yet action packed day, and we got back to the ship with plenty of time. We could have used more time, but the schedule wouldn't allow it.<br/> Well worth the journey, and to have a private guide, so that we could take as much time in the places we wanted within our schedule or skip the places that weren't so interesting was wonderful.</p> <p>I can't recommend this too much! The guide was wonderful, friendly and a great driver.</p>

Our guide/driver accommodated our requests to stop at some locations for photos. Guide was very knowledgable and answered all our questions easily. Jabrin Castle (the last stop) is outstanding!!! My only caution: our guide ate lunch with us, and we were tricked into paying for his lunch. If you want to avoid this situation, don't ask the guide to take you to a local restaurant -- go on your own.</p>

Our tour was on 02/03/2017... - <p>Our tour was on 02/03/2017, according to the itinerary the tour duration is around 9 hours and pick up time 8.00am, and our ship will be depart at 18.00pm and we have to abroad at 17.30pm, therefore I thought this tour is perfect for us. But on 02/03/2017, we have been waited at the port gate at 8.00am and there was no one show up, so with the help by a local people we managed to call the emergency number and we have been told that the tour start should at 9.00am instead of 8.00am. When our ship docked at Abu Dhabi port on 04/03/2017 where have free wifi and I have got chance to check my email then I noticed that they actually sent an email on 27/02/2017 the day we broad our ship and told us about change of pick up time. Anyway, our tour guide arrived at 8.30am. The tour guide is not a guide, he is just a driver. There is no introduction / information whatsoever from our guide about the places that we visited. He just took us to the entrance and wait at the exist. Let us wondered around by ourselves and himself went for social with the local people.</p>
