The tour with Zeeshan was phenomenal! The Grand Mosque and Presidential Palace was absolutely worth it. We took an ocean air tour in Dubai and was recommended this one in Abu Dhabi. Both tours were 10/10 and the guides were so personable and knowledgeable. Shout out to Zeeshan for his photography skills too. Would highly recommend!

As a solo traveler, I’m always interested in doing these types of tours wherever I go and this one was by far one of the best. I like being able to get background & history while exploring these immaculate structures. Our tour guide, Zeeshan was really knowledgeable and very friendly. His commentary was enjoyable and he is basically an UAE expert in my mind. He also immediately volunteered himself to take pictures for everyone at all the best spots at each location; he is really good too! I think the duration was good for everything we got to see and they provide the abayas for touring the mosque; I was confused on that initially speaking with the person coordinating with me the day prior. I changed my entire outfit that night just to find out I didn’t have to run to a store to buy a long sleeve shirt at the last minute (I ended up buying a short sleeved shirt from the mosque gift store).

We had a really great experience. Our tour guide, Zeeshan was amazing! His knowledge throughout the day was great. The day ran really smoothly & was the perfect amount of time allocated for each activity. Couldn’t recommend this tour more. Zeeshan gave us some really good information on Dubai as well which we liked. Thank you for a great tour experience, Zeeshan!

It is very trust and reliable company.
1: registered with Chinese language. When I was picked up I found out I am the only one in this tour. I said I could jointed English team as well. The tour guy said “ don’t worry, we still do the same even only one customer.
2: one day before trip. The tour guy contact me give me the heads up and remainder. picked up and finished in time.
3: Doing exceptional, Because I am the only one customer, we could finish the tour abit early. However, the tour guy and the driver did not finish early instead bring me to a new location which it is not included in the plan.. Giving me the perfect ending of this tour.

Such a nice Abu Dhabi tour with the best guide ever. We started in the morning with pick up at our hotel and our guide gave us the exact information about his arrival. On the way he communicated with all of us and told us different stories.
We visited the most important points in Abu Dhabi like the Louvre Museum, Etihad Towers, Ferrari World and last but not least the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. We learned many new things about the history and the culture of VAE. The view from the Etihad Tower was incredible.
Many thanks to Iqbal for his services on the tour! He is doing a fantastic job, always smiling and making jokes. We need more people like him in the tourism!
