Great experience and costumer service thanks to jose for the amazing guidance and for making out tour one of the best we have had can’t wait to go again
Nasser was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The amount of time at each spot was adequate. Be aware that the Michelin star restaurant is part of a chain and in a small food court in a mall, not the type of dining we were expecting but the food was very good. Overall a wonderful day.
We had an absolutely fantastic tour of Abu Dhabi with Nasser as our guide. He took us to some of the city’s most incredible landmarks, including the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the magnificent Qasr Al Watan Royal Palace, and the impressive Louvre Abu Dhabi. Nasser was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the day. His explanations were detailed and engaging, helping us learn so much about the UAE, its history, culture, and traditions. He made every stop interesting and memorable, and his passion for sharing information really shone through. He also took some amazing photographs for us, which was a lovely bonus and helped us capture some wonderful memories from the trip. His warm personality, kindness, and attention to detail are a real credit to both the company and the people of Abu Dhabi. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Nasser to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. Thank you for such an unforgettable day!
Good experience with Nasser guide
We spent a day in Abu Dhabi with the guide Nasser. Knowledgeable and engaging guide. With him, Abu Dhabi reveals mosques, the Louvre, the presidential palace, history, and top photos. Beautiful experience and highly recommended! The driver is great too!!
Ziad was a fantastic guide. He was hugely informative and very accommodating. He answered all of our many questions happily and with great detail. He clearly has a huge passion for the tour. It was the highlight of our trip in Abu Dhabi. Thank you Ziad!
Everything was really nice, the Photos turned out really good and really good atención!!, And really pretty views.
Muhammad Ziad was an excellent host for this mother daughter duo. We had a very curated list of sights we wanted to see and Ziad was so accommodating. He is even an amazing photographer, knowing how to get those perfect shots for us. We got a great history of Abu Dhabi and when we needed to be smart about time, he shared his recommended highlights. He was also so patient having to wait 2 hours so we could experience High Tea at the Mandarin Oriental Palace - an absolute must because the hotel is a former palace!! Can’t get in without reservations so well worth it!!
A beautiful experience. Nasser, besides being a very nice person, has excellent preparation; his outstanding knowledge makes the visits more engaging. I thank him for this day dedicated to knowledge and carefree enjoyment. Goodbye, Nasser.
Very, very beautiful! They came to pick me up right outside my home, very kind. They take care of everything, and Nasser is an excellent guide, friendly and very knowledgeable. A very pleasant day. Highly recommended.
