"If you want to visit Abu Dhabi and you are looking for a (very) GOOD tour guide, we can highly recommend Reem.
The contact with her is smooth. She responds quickly. Very pleasant.
We really had a great morning with her.
We first visited the Formula1 circuit, afterwards we went to the beautiful mosque and before turning back to the cruise ship we visited one of the dates factory.
She provided us with a lot of information about the city, city life, her life, religion, the dates and answered a lot of questions.
During the visit to the mosque we were also provided with a lot of information, very nice.
We LOVED being out with her.
Reem, thanks again, we wish you and your family all the best!"
"Our day with Reem was very lovely. We learned a lot about local food and traditions.
She was patient and adapted the tour according our wishes. Our young son enjoyed it as well.
Reem has a lovely personality and I can absolutely recommend her."

"Khaled was soo caring... Made me feel at home, took me to the mosque the mandarin hotel the date market and even for dinner. I felt very cared for and he is very knowledgeable... Also because I was travelling alone he gave a discount, the other tour guides I asked were still charging me full price! Without any doubt he is the best and I recommend him "

Super!
"These guys were ready to accommodate changes and whims. They are super nice and made our experience a very nice one "
"We had a fantastic tour. Sandy was engaging, informative, and attentive. We would definitely recommend Sandy and Jose to anyone in Dubai and will be booking with them on return visits. "
"We were a group of 8 people arriving in Abu Dhabi at 9pm for an overnight layover. Sandy and his team were ready for us at arrivals on time. He made a booking for us at the Grand mosque and he really made a huge effort to ensure that we could visit this place which is only open till 10 PM. He showed us around and made the visit at the Mosque an experience to treasure for life. After the mosque they also tried to show us as much as possible of Abu Dhabi at night including the Ferrari track and Dates Market. The whole trip was about 5hours. For our group this was a brilliant start to our trip to Istanbul. I believe Sandy also does trips to Dubai. This is on my bucket list for a next trip. I would highly recommend Sandy and his team for any of these exercusions. Trust to meet up with them again in the near future."
"Sandy definitely knows his way around Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
I was a bit nervous as a solo traveler but even since the first communications he was amazing.
Recommend his agency a 100%"
