The guide didn’t provide much history or information about Abu Dhabi or the sites (and some of the information provided seems to be inaccurate based on my research and information provided at the sites themselves. This may have been due to a language barrier. It also felt very rushed. Understanding this was a layover tour but we lost time driving to sites that I had said I wasn’t interested in.
Dear Esteemed guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. All our guides are fully licensed, professional, and have in-depth knowledge of the city and our tours in English. We also offer guides in other languages upon request; however, no specific language preference was indicated at the time of your booking, which may have caused a language barrier. Regarding the pace of the tour, your flight delay reduced the available time, and the guide adjusted the schedule to ensure you could visit the main attractions and reach your connecting flight on time. We did not receive prior instructions to skip any sites, which is why the full itinerary was followed. We appreciate your comments and will use them to further improve our service. Wishing you all the best!

Full day tour, with a duration of 10 hours!! A memorable day, visiting places of stunning beauty, such as Qasr Al Watan (Presidential Palace) and Grand Sheikh Zayed Mosque, among others. Zeeshan, our guide, contributes greatly to our satisfaction with the tour, a very kind, humble and patient person, which reduced the language barrier, in the face of our difficulty with English and his lack of knowledge of the Portuguese language. In the end, with his very goodwill and the use of translator everything went well. Note 10. I highly recommend!!
