We additionally had the Sheikh Palace on the program and the Etihad Towers, everything was well organized and our guide was mega helpful
We had a great tour to the city of Abu Dabhi with guide Said, who gave a lot of information about the places we visisted about the UAE. He brought the two of us to all the nice places, where we coulf easily stroll around by ourselfs. We especially liked the visit of the great mosque, the workpalace Qatr al Watan, the Emirates Palace and the Louvre (more in particular the building inside and outside, and the rooftopbar). So, if you want to see the beautiful things of Abu Dabhi (and no funparks), then this tour is great!
We had an absolutely fantastic day on our Abu Dhabi tour with our guide, Said. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Said brought every stop on the tour to life with fascinating stories, history, and local insights, you can tell he truly loves what he does. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable, answered all our questions with patience, and even went out of his way to take great photos for us at the main sights. The tour was perfectly paced, well-organized, and full of highlights, from the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque to the Corniche and beyond. Said’s enthusiasm and warmth made the experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, thank you, Said, for such a brilliant day in Abu Dhabi! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the UAE.
Saeed the driver was one of the best people I’ve ever met. He was kind informative and made us feel super safe throughout the entire journey. If I were to ever do my Dubai experience again. I would like to only have him as my tour guide.
It was an interesting tour round Abu Dhabi especially to d grand massive mosque with the massive chandeliers and all ...the numerous very essential views like the d palace, Etihad Towers, Ferrari World views....all were so amazing. Shahid was our driver and tour guide...He did a wonderful job there. Will definitely do d tour again!!!
I met my driver, Amjad, from Pakistan. he is a great guy, respectful and very cool. I haven't met all of the guides in Dubai 😅 but this guy stood out for me. I saw him more as a brother than a driver. the tour was amazing with the best guide in Dubai 🤗🤗.
Hello sirs and madams! We are so happy that we chose your company to do the Abu Dhabi and Dubai city tours + Safari Desert + Dinner on Dhow creek. You really have amazing people that works for you. For exemple Zafar is one of them. He is a really good touristic guide and he had a lot of patience to respond to all our questions. He also have a good vibe so he makes the trip much funnier. So thank you so much! And special thanks to Zafar!!!😁😁👍🏼👍🏼
Without doubt one of the favourite city in Dubai Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by sajjad , our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had four great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. One of the great experiences of my life.Very professional and kind staff indeed, i would recommend everyone out there to consider it a best option. special thanks to office staff juki....
Skyland organised all our outings...Dubai city tour, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Marina Dhow Cruise, Abu Dhabi tour, desert safari among others. We had an excellent vacation and the trips were great and very well planned. Special mention to Juhi for organising everything so well and drivers Hammad, Sajad, Ali and all the others who made our trip so great. Will definitely use Skyland's services again.
It was like a "hop-on / hop-off" service. Our driver picked us up in Dubai, and on the route gave a brief overview of Abu Dhabi / mosque and that was the only "extend" of the "guided commentary". (Those sitting in back of the van couldn't hear). At the mosque, driver let us out and gave us about an hour to go tour and then advised us to meet him back in parking lot (it was not a "guided" mosque tour). 1 hour wasn't enough when tourist season has begun and the crowded are massive to push through / security control. At 45 min, I hadn't still entered the mosque itself due to the line ups! The Emirates Palace - we just saw from outside. Our driver said that tourists were not allowed inside!! Which turned out to be wrong information. Later I went to the Emirates Palace with a friend and it was an impressive structure to see. What it DOESN'T say in the description is a stopover at an arts store where they try to sell you local handcrafted art/carpets. It was a nice store, but was not expected as part of the tour and we spend at least 30-40 minutes there. Pros: Driver picked me up from my hotel on time and it was a comfortable ride.
