Good experience

The 3-hour tour we chose was a bit short. A longer tour would allow for more stops. But the experience was enjoyable, and we had a very interesting panoramic tour with Ameer, a good, friendly, and professional driver.

Nice tour, but to perfect

Nice experience, 1 day in Dubai but you don't see everything , museums can also forget them. Too bad the guide that was included in the payment was not there. So the poor driver had to improvise and got away with it. But a tour must be organized to perfection x see everything in the right time and not waste time. The tourist is waiting for this sopr if coming from Italy. Malls don't interest him, he wants to see, visit. With a guide it was different. Our driver and 'was kind and helpful anyway. Dubai needs 2 days to visit even xche summer is quite hot. I always recommend tours like this, at least you don't walk as much, you get less tired, and you always get in and out of the car with air conditioning and water. It is comfortable. Thanks to the driver who did everything x replace the driving. I recommend the tour, but expect anything.

Day Private Tour from Abu Dhabi to Dubai

We applied from Japan for this tour. We in Japan were definitely a little worried about whether this tour would take place, but our guide, AMEER, contacted us the day before the tour. I couldn't answer the phone, but I could check it by email, and I was able to join the tour with peace of mind on the day. We were really looking forward to this Dubai tour from Abu Dhabi as it was our first time in the UAE. AMEER showed us what to see in Dubai one after another. Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah… We saw the world we were watching on YouTube and so on, and we took a lot of nice pictures. We went on the Abra boat and at the end of the tour we saw the Dubai Mall, the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain Show. I am truly grateful to AMEER for guiding me through so many highlights within the limited time of a day trip. Thank you very much.

Memorable short visit in Abi Dhabi

Had a memorable short transit excursion in Abu Dhabi! Ameer went beyond the planned itinerary, taking us to the stunning Grand Mosque and even Joko Widodo Street. He made sure we explored inside the Grand Mosque - so beautiful - and guided us to the best photo spots. His hospitality and attention to detail made our experience truly unforgettable!

Abu Dhabi is Amazing

The Abu Dhabi tour was so much more incredible than we had expected! There were some items on the itinerary originally that weren’t so appealing to us such as the Ferrari experience or the Heritage village to make more time for a sit-down lunch. Suqlain happily adjusted the plan for us and even joined us for the meal. He’s so friendly, easy going, and full of great knowledge. The mosque and palace were easily our highlights of the day and we were overwhelmed by the beauty and size of both locations. If you’re on the fence about a day in Abu Dhabi definitely go experience the Mosque and Palace at the very minimum, they are mind blowing!
