Abu Dhabi Tour Reviews
Ezra Y.
“An Unforgettable Day with an Exceptional Guide”
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mirsa as our guide. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, everything felt smooth, relaxed and well organised. What really stood out was how flexible he was with the itinerary, adjusting the schedule effortlessly based on how long we wanted to spend at each location and what we were most excited to see. Our visits to the Louvre and the Presidential Palace were definite highlights. Mirsa shared great insights, handled all the logistics seamlessly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. He was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city.

“Abu Dhabi Daytrip ”
We had booked a private tour by, ‘Tour by Rafiq’. From the moment we booked the tour, our queries were promptly dealt with, we were constantly informed of any updates and he personalised the tour to accustom our needs. Mr Rafiq had over exceeded our expectations, from pickup he welcomed us with joy, lovely clean car accompanied with lots of bottled water for a family of four and customised the itinerary on the day for Abu Dhabi and even stopped at a The Burj Khalifa on the way. We couldn’t be more pleased, the hospitality was excellent, his constant engagement and exemplary attentiveness, will never be forgotten and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Dubai and Abu Dhabi. From Sharon & Family (UK)
