This is more a taxi ride than a tour

This tour is purely just a taxi to the Mosque of Abu Dhabi. The rest consists of two stops at shopping malls where there are some food chains such as McDonald’s. A walk around a wholesale food market and a stop at a hotel and place you cannot take pictures and are advised not to busy any thing - at which they try hard to sell. The driver has a strong accent and likes to send voice notes to people whilst he is driving with generally very little manners to his customers - I feel he was not on the tour himself today. Very disappointing. I have since seen some similar reviews in the list that I wish I had seen before booking and almost wasting my day here. Our driver did not accompany us on any part of the tour and information was limited. Other than the mosque which I have since found out they offer free tour guides on, we found this a rather pointless day.
