ABU DHABI TOUR

We had an excellent day with our guide, Zohaib. The price-quality ratio was very good. He was super kind and respectful. We were picked up at the hotel. We spent the day in Abu Dhabi. We visited a museum, then the mosque, and then we had free time to eat. Then we went to the sea, with various stalls. Then we visited a magnificent palace. And finally, we went to Ferrari. We also stopped at a souvenir shop. I highly recommend him! He takes the time to explain everything!

Gross negligence in booking tour

Viator sold me a visit to museum of Louvre in Dubai on Monday though the museum is closed every Monday! The driver told us after picking us up from the Hotel. The driver/guide was excellent. It is a shame for Viator. Louvre was the main reason to book this tour.

It was ok

We got picked up from the hotel in Dubai. Driven 1 1/2 hours to Abu Dhabi. The driver doesn't talk pretty much at all. Right before you get to the destination he gives you a brief history, then he sends you your tickets through WhatsApp and tells you where to meet up or to message him at a certain spot. At the Mosque he gave me a black head covering to go in. He told us how much time we had and we went on our way. At every stop you are not going to have any issue with communication as everyone speaks English. Our guide was a bit hard to understand. And when you would ask him question, he only gave you vague answers. I think it was worth it, just to be driven and taken to these places with tickets included. By no means is this a Guided Tour. It's a driver with a bit of information. You will be given a bottle water each. By no means 5 star more like 4. What makes it a 4 is the destination. It's not bad, I was just expecting a little bit more for the price.
