Anees our guide and driver was prefect , polite and had knowledge of all places . Great experience and enjoy the day .Keep doing the good work
We had a very nice day in Abu Dhabi, visiting the Zayed Grand mosque was wonderfull. The Heritage museum, very informative, our guide Hammad gave us a great tour. Thank you Hammad en driver Bahroz.
We traveled with Mr. Anees the second time since we are in Dubai. We had a full day trip to Abu Dhabi, especially at Warner Bros. Mr. Anees was very helpful in helping us in maximizing our time at the park. Mr. Anees is a highly recommended driver and guide.
Anees expertly navigated us through Abu Dhabi's iconic landmarks, sharing insightful stories and historical context. His passion and dedication made our tour truly memorable. Excellent communication skills, considerate, and resourceful – Anees embodies the ideal guide. Highly recommended!
The Sheika Zahedan Grand Mosque and the Qasr Al Waran was absolutely fantastic. We didn’t do much else except photo stops. But we loved the two big ones. What needs to be very clearer is that women NEED to be very covered. I had a long skirt, long sleeved top and a scarf. That was not good enough, the white skirt and top were too thin to be excepted in the Mosque. We needed to purchase their long gowns. It was a rush to get everyone outfitted. Overall a great full day. 11 hours
Annis and driver Hanib were fantastic. They explained everything , knew how to navigate so minimize wait times, informative, knowledgeable and accommodating
I got a very good first impression of the city,according to my requests, and Faisal is a great guide, knows a lot, friendly and open. Simply a wonderful day.
We enjoyed every moment of our trip to Abu Dhabi as our local guide cum chauffeur, Faisal Rahman made a huge difference with his sincerity and dedication to every minute to minute details of our trip. The visit to the Grand Mosque and the Emirates Palace was superb.
Hello Faisal, thank you for wonderful and fulfilled day. You were very courtesy and knowledgeable. We learned so much today. Also, thank you for looking into our issues it made us feel liked you cared. Have a great day.
Faisal qas my tour guide and private driver for the whole day. He was professional, polite, knowledgeable and timely. The day went smooth. I highly recommend him for any tour. Thank you so much Faisal!!!
The guide Mr. Muhamd was very kind and we had him to thank for the great time. His sincere hosting behavior gave us a really good moment.
Nitin was our guide and he was great (could anser all of our questions)! We have seen alot which was perfect for us. A real recommender
The mosque was beautiful and amazing ! The palace was astonishing . Our tour guide Anees had been really flexible and welcoming ! He was really helpful through out the journey and we had a great time ! You guys should definitely try this tour !!
Our trip was amazing! Abu Dhabi has a lots of beautiful spots to see, especially the Grand Mosque was incredible. Our guide Nimesh was very kind, told us about lots of interesting things and helped us with everything. We had our tour in German and English, both were perfect. It‘s a must see, we highly recommend this day trip to Abu Dhabi!
Syed Fayyaz is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed going Abu Dhabi with him and his knowledge of Dubai and Abu Dhabi were awesome.The sceneries were so beautiful. The atmosphere was so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for Syed Fayyaz who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Syed Fayyaz to everyone!
The one day tour was very pleasant. Our tour guide Muhammad was very welcoming and shared with us a lot of insights about the places we visited.
Anees was our guide full knowledge we loved the tour he gave us so much information of all the places we loved all the places thanks to our guide anees
We had a wonderful day with our guide Anees. Our trip by private car lasted more than 10 hours which allowed us to fully discover the city and its charms. Our guide Anees took the time to explain every detail to us and all without stress. I highly recommend this excursion!
Muhammed Anees was a brilliant guide. So knowledgable about history, culture, politics and religion. Our day trip to Abu Dhabi was fantastic and I would highly recommend him.
Faisal our tour guide was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating. He took us to the best areas & advised of of the best ways to enjoy our tour. We highly enjoyed touring the regions highlights. We did 2 tours with Faisal of 2 different regions & would tour with him again.
Nimesh - from Sri Lanka was our guide coupled with a driver (can’t remember his name) did a great job on a full day tour. The driver was excellent - never feared his skills - and Nimesh narrated great information about this historic Middle East gem. The highlight was the great Sheikh Zahed Grand Mosque where Nimesh guided us and explained everything. We visited the Louvre and a historical cultural spot on the water. Lunch as a great Arabian buffet (reasonable price and good food). We got to know a bit about our guide and how as a foreigner he works in Dubai to better his family (wife and twin sons) back in Sri Lanka. We have always had great success with Trip Advisor and this specific vendor did not disappoint.
Chamil was excellent. So nice and sweet. Very knowledgeable and patient. Answered all questions. Great person.
We had a fabulous time on several tours. Our guide was Chamil and he was fabulous and very knowledgeable of everything about Dubai and surrounding areas. I give him 15stars
I traveled to Dubai recently (Oct 1 - Oct 8, 2023) with a group of 38 women called the Travel Divas. Mehul Balsara was our tour guide and Salim was our driver. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Mehul was the ultimate professional. He greeted each woman with roses. Beginning with our "All Red Glam Welcome Dinner" (Oct 1, 2023) and ending with our "Glam Tea Party" (Oct 7, 2023), Mehul ensured that we all had a fun-filled, informative trip. He answered all questions asked and made sure that we were well taken care of. Mehul is the ultimate "Travel Dude" for the "Travel Divas". I was not able to do the Dune Bashing due to previous surgeries on my neck and back. My Aunt and I were assigned Rashid as our driver for the Desert Safari. Rashid was an absolute sweetheart! When we stopped to regroup with the rest of our party at a gas station. He was kind enough to ask if we wanted to go in. He escorted me into the gas station in order to purchase a Starbucks coffee and chips. Such a gentleman in my opinion. He also endured that my Aunt and I were able to experience a slow, painless, mini dune dashing which we both enjoyed. It was an absolutely beautiful experience. If and when I return to Dubai, Mehul, Salim and Rashid will most definitely be my go to tour guide and drivers. Hopefully this review will be passed on to Mehul, Salim and Rashid and they will all know of my thanks and gratitude for an awesome Dubian experience. Yolanda Harris
The trip was excellent!!! We have seen a lot of interesting places and taken a lot of photos. We will use their service again when visit Dubai
Abu Dhabi was so beautiful. The mosque and views were breathtaking. I would highly recommend doing the high tea. Also, Nimesh was an amazing tour guide. Very informative and helpful.
Our Tour Guide John(Amir) AMAZING he explained everything to us! Respond to every question asked and dealt with all concerns, the service was nothing but 5 ⭐️ for me! I enjoyed the country the food culture! This Country is nothing short of Amazing for me to have the experience under my belt! Whether your Muslim or Non this experience will last you a loge time!! To our tour guide and Driver the best we got to and from each tour safe they deserve a RAISE!!! Shukron Amir Shukron
Our tour guide Faisal is so professional on driving, guiding etc. everything including schedule management during the tour without rushing us. We really had a good time and eventually saved our time in parallel with our satisfaction to the tour. 日本からの旅行者にぴったりのツアー会社でした。大変親切ですし全てにおいてプロフェッショナルで安心です!
This was an amazing tour. Very organized. The tour guide Junaid was amazing. He was very informative, knew everything about Dubai and kept us informed every single moment of every scenery and monument we came across. He was professional, charismatic, patient and most of all courteous and always willing to help anyone out. I’ve been to many tours and had many guides, however Junaid is the best guide that I’ve had the pleasure of having on my first trip to Dubai. I will definitely return.
My mom and I spent a very nice day touring around Dubai with Diana Nanuashvili, a very talented guide. I was highly impressed with her knowledge of the region, the history and she was able to make it highly relevant to us. I'm a professional photographer, and she was able to help me find some great angles to capture iconic views of Dubai. We wanted to book her for another day, but she was unfortunately already scheduled with another group. I'd highly recommend her!
What an excellent trip Nimesh our tour guide was fantastic and together with his colleague Bahroos our driver on the tour did everything and went beyond the call of duty to make our trip most enjoyable Their expertise and knowledge of AbuDhabi and the all the emirates was great Thank you to Mandeep who coordinated the whole trip so successfully Thank you so much Much appreciated Denis&Family
Our favorite part of the tour was the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It was amazing. Nimesh was our tour guide and did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable on the Emirates and the various aspects of our Abu Dhabi tour. Most importantly he was very up to date on the rules and guidelines that we were expected to follow. If we do another private tour of the Emirates we are requesting Nimesh.
We wanted to do this for a long time and visit as much if the Emirates as possible, this tour helped us to look at the best parts! There was soo much in one day but it wasnt too tiring, there was a lot of information and time for us to enjoy on every site. Would recommend to everyone.
Been travelling around the world as a tour leader for now over 20 years. I do appreciate when i share the best manner of tourism handling. Orient Tours and representing guide Mr Nimesh Kumara spent a week with us in basic management coordination as well as 2 days of city tours - Dubai and Abu Dhabi. From all perspectives - very effective management, honest and deeply informative partnership! My deepest professional respect. Thank You on behalf of 45 latvian professional medics who formed the bulk of the Latvian group
I would like to commend Gabor and his driver for taking care of us the whole trip. They were very prompt in picking us up at our hotel (JW Marriott Marquis) and gave us the whole histor/facts of UAE and not just about Abu Dhabi. There were 4 of us in the tour (2 couples from Switzerland) and that has given us a more private setting to ask questions rather than in the bus with 20 or more people. Thank you Gabor!
Very good. The tour was well planned and very interesting. The driver and guide were very nice and took care of us
Loved this excursion. The mosque Sheikh Zayed and the Emirates Palace are absolutely out of this world. The Town is very modern with nice architecture.
<p>A full day to visit Abu Dhabi from Dubai was an interesting experience. Many architecturally different buildings and the most beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was the best highlight of the trip with all the white marble and the intricately inlaid flowers in the columns and the floors. Very enjoyable tour.</p>
<p>Fantastic mosque, very hot day when we did tour and my wife had to be outfitted all in black coverage, very uncomfortable for her.</p>
<p>Perfect tour guide Gamal, told us lots of interesting information about country and important and interesting places and people. Free water in the bus. I really recommend to take part of this trip. You have to see this places in United Arab Emirates. Be careful !! - in the mosque ladies have to cover all body including ankles, head, neck and arms. Inside you have to walk without shoes - recommend socks.</p>
<p>Alhthough in Dubai there is a king I have to say that We were treated like queens and kings which i HIGHLY RECOMMEND!</p>
<p>Glad I took this tour as I only had a short visit in the UAE. Our tour guide Gamil, was good and very attentive.</p>
<p>Diabolical. I was told I was would not be alkowed in a mosque. I was wearing a long kurta but not to my wrist. I saw no point in going. Tour guide was aggressive. Asked if i had a scarf ofc i didn't. I later found out mosque does give scafs and abyas so you can go in. Guide should have known this.</p>
<p>We had a beautiful day, the Mosque was great. We felt there could have been more information from the guide. Also we found out at lunch time that day that it was Ramadan which meant nothing to us coming from Australia and finding water to drink and something for lunch was a big problem. We appreciate abiding by the rules of the country we visit and do not mind this at all we just would have appreciated being told what these were before starting the tour.</p>
<p>Absolute must on your visit to Dubai/Abu Dhabi! The tour bus picked us up at our scheduled time and people on our tour were very pleasant. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the cultural background of the people and places that we visited English was very good as well! Be sure to be appropriately dressed Women from head to toes literally, no sandals, sheer material Some people on our tour had to buy burkas that were available in the gift shop, however, that took some time away from the tour. Otherwise, everything was amazing. The Mosque is breathtaking and can only be seen in person to fully understand its beauty! Excellent tour!</p>
<p>Tour guide Reuben was very knowledgeable. The mosque was very ornate and a great site to visit. My only disappointment was that our private tour was replaced by a public tour when several members of my group canceled and we were picked up from our hotel at 6:30 AM instead of 8:00 AM, as indicated in Viator's description of the tour.</p>
<p>The mosque was beautiful and worth the visit.<br/> The other places were not that interesting.<br/> Wonderful guide Deyin? that gave a lot of information about the tour and Dubai.<br/> He even lent me his sweatshirt when my sleeve was not long enuf to cover my wrists.</p>
<p>Very big and pretty mosque. The marble stone on the ground feels cold and awesome against the hot weather</p>
<p>I appreciate the ride there with a group; however, we only enjoyed the mosque and museum. He didn't give us an actual tour of the city. That was disappointing. I felt like we didn't get a true Abu Dhabi experience and could've easily took a cab or shuttle there for less.</p>
