A big day!

The Louvre had been on my bucketlist and i took the opportunity at an stopover at Dubai. pickup was late but than i enjoyed the trip. Jameel was a friendly and save driver. I didn’t like the craftcenter but im just not interested in carpets .For Organisation WhatsApp is essential as all communication happens there .. even the entrance ticket. It was a big day and full of impressions.

Not worth the money

Probably I misunderstood the description, but the trip is not worth the money, I don't recommend booking it if you don't want to waste your weekend. The was no guide at all, only an English-speaking (thanks) driver, who barely could explain anything. We made a few 10 minutes stops, then he gave 1h (??) for the Mosque (for which you actually need at least 30 minutes to spend in the queue and walking to the place itself). I didn't understand that kind of experience and was hurrying up to be back on time. Later we drove to a sort of expensive shop with local carpets and then we had 5 minutes to take photos at the promenade. The driver dropped me off at the Louvre and the rest of the group went to the Ferrari park. The bus was dirty actually and A/C didn't properly work. I would prefer to spend my 100$ another way instead and I'd ask for a refund if I could. Giving 2 stars just because I'm back safe and sound.

Amazing day

I was with 6 of my friends in a hotel in Dubai, however all of us who came there wanted to go visit Abu Dhabi as well. We booked this trip and it was so much more than what we expected. The driver was very friendly and he was telling us about Emirates all day long, it’s history, whatever we asked him he had an answer for it and I have to say that we learned a lot from him. He would drive us in Abu Dhabi to see everything even more than what we expected. I would really recommend this trip! It’s all day long and we were exhausted but it was worth it!

Avoid at all costs!!

Waste of money and poorly organized. Spent over almost 2 hours at a truck stop because they had too many people in the van to enter Abu Dhabi and had to wait over an hour for another van to arrive. Because of the delay we didn't go to Heritage Village, No Marina Mall. No drive past emirates palace. No photo stop at Yas. When we got to the mosque the tickets haven't been reserved a head of time so he got us 8pm tickets even though it was 5:45 and told us to just walk in and try to use those tickets and not to say we were with a tour. We spent 20 minutes at Ferrari world. Which was nothing because they were pretty much closed, went to louver for 2 hours which was beautiful. And he also took us to a date market's. He also took us to this little whole in the wall shop in a warehouse were the tried to sell us 3,000k rugs and other ridiculously expensive stuff. Waste of money. Could of gotten transportation to Louver and entrance for a lot less then what I paid for the tour.... and during the ride you could hardly hear the driver.. avoid at all costs. Such a waste

Amazing day visiting sheikh Zayed mosque and louver museum

This tour is a great way to get an overview of Abu Dhabi city. An hour drive from Dubai after all participants have been picked from their respective hotels. We have a great tour guide who provided vast knowledge and insight about the history and current development of Abu Dhabi. Very witty and knowledgeable. The Grand Mosque is grand and beautiful and a must see.

Breathtaking design and architecture

Breathtaking design and architecture. An excellent collection of art works from all over the world. The dome's size is quite astounding and holds many different areas with historic arts. There’s so much bronze age and stone age facts and artifacts can be found which are very unique and enchanting. I would love to stay longer.

Nice trip and amazing architecture of mosque and museum

It is an amazing trip! Seeing the Sheikh zayed Grand Mosque for the first time. Its beauty is striking and elegant. We stayed for 45 minutes but I wish we could stay longer :) .  We visited many places such as the Ferrari world and had photo stops. We visited the Louvre Museum - The gigantic silver dome that looks like floating above the city. I learned about ancient Egyptian and Cypriot antiquities and the collections are admirable

Abu Dhabi city Tour and louvre museum

They say, you can only know and understand UAE by visiting the capital. True to be told, the country has a rich history. With a great guide like Rizwan who is fully knowledgeable, we learned so much. We have seen the famous Shiek Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Museum, heritage village and more. A day well spent. I recommend this tour
