Thanks to the exzellent guidance of Mrs Muna the day in Abu Dhabi will remain an unforgettable holiday - from the grand mosk - via all traditional places to the Louvre Mrs Muna was not only an exzellent host, but provided enjoyable information & background to all historical & cultural questions. Our authentic local lunch stop was not only very delicious, but rounded the Arabic feeling we could experience through this day. Many thanks Mrs Muna and we will come back

We had a great time with Hassan, a wonderful Emirati who shared his culture with us. We appreciated the opportunity to get to know Abu Dhabi with a local guide. Our favorite spot was the Sheik Zayed Mosque. It was a privilege to visit with Hassan. We wish him well with all his future plans.

As two women traveling in UAE - and after many wonderful male guides - we were interested in experiencing a tour led by a woman, in particular, an Emirati. Tahera was lovely and professional. She picked us up at our hotel and took us on a tour of the city which ended at the grand mosque. She wanted to ensure we had the best version of this amazing architectural wonder and planned our arrival accordingly at sunset. She was full of interesting information about the various stops on our tour and also women and Emirati culture. We loved our stop at the date vendor in Mina - we sampled so many delicious dates. Highly recommended. We now have a friend in Abu Dhabi.

I took this private tour with a family member who booked tickets for the 2 of us. We took this tour on July 19th. We were to start at 8am, and then it was requested that we begin at 9am. The 9am start time was pushed up to 10am, and the guide finally arrived at 11am. We did see the Mosque and Hosn, and visited a small market selling dates and Arabic coffee near the port (there were many of these at this location), but we did not visit the Heritage Village. We made a brief stop at the Emerati Palace, only to be stopped and told by one of security personnel, that we could not pass without a guide. We had our guide, and were given a few minutes to explore alone. Had we started timely, or been able to reschedule for another day, perhaps we would have not felt so rushed pushing through crowds at the Mosque at the peak of the heat during the day. I wished that we had been able to go through the other highlight of this tour, Heritage Village, as advertised. I understand that time orientation may be different than what I am accustomed to, but with a difference in the initial scheduled pick up time and actual pick up time, perhaps pick-up times and/or unexpected delays or visits to alternative sites might be better explained. Nonetheless, I traveled to Abu Dhabi for a professional conference, and enjoyed visiting this part of the world. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on my experiences.
