We booked this tour as we had one day in Abu Dhabi. You are mostly on a bus passing by the sites, you do get just enough time at the Mosque to quickly walk through it. You see the Grand Palace from across the water, would have been nice to actually go inside instead of the two tourist shop stops at the date market and especially at the tourist expensive shop that you sell as a visit to a typical home. It was a home they sold all kinds of tourist items in as if they where on display at a home but for 4 x the price of a the souk. A visit to a souk would have been nice as well. The tour ended at the heritage museum which really is a waste of time, the country is only 52 years old and very modern so you can read about the old fishing village in about 10 mutes. If you want to see (from a distance) Abu Dhabi in a day on a bus then purchase this tour.

Had a wonderful day. The Mosque was sensational. Mehboob tour guide spoke very good English and was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend. Only tip would maybe have been nice to spend half an hour more at mosque. Otherwise was brilliant!!

Picked up at the hotel by English speaking guide, Rizwan. Albeit later than anticipated, 9.45am instead of 8.30am, we were kept informed via WhatsApp message on new updated pick up time. Rizwan was friendly and well articulated in his explanation of our schedule at each of the 6 venues including which ones we were going to for a simple and short photo opportunity. You do get the full 4 hours (ours actually extended to 4 and half hours) from the time we were picked up, doing the tour and returning us to our hotel. Excellent 1 hr 15 minutes at the magnificent Grand Mosque. Dress appropriately or you will end up like a big portion of visitors having to walk to the shops around to purchase appropriate attire. Check the Grand Mosque website and stick to it, religiously. Dont dally with too much photo stops at the start as you will need all of the time you have to see the rest of the mosque, especially the chandeliers. The rest were quick 20+ min stops to the Dates market, Heritage Village which was nice with "replica" of a desert stop complete camel. Yes, singular - one only. Ferrari World was a photo op as was the Palace. Overall, excellent for a quick overview of key spots in Abu Dhabi.
