Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an amazing food tour in Abu Dhabi with Reem as our local guide. We were traveling as a family of four, and she took us to several places. One of the highlights was the fish market experience: we bought fresh seafood there and then had it prepared for us in a restaurant â it was absolutely delicious and such a unique experience. The tour was not only about tasting incredible local food, but also about learning a lot about Abu Dhabi, its people, and their traditions. Reem shared so many interesting insights and made the whole experience feel authentic and personal. This tour was truly a highlight of our trip and one of the best experiences we had in Abu Dhabi. If you want to really get to know the people and its culture, we highly recommend doing this tour with Reem. We were absolutely thrilled! Thank you very much Reem!!!!!"
"Khaled was waiting for us at the airport when we had a layover in Abu Dhabi. He took us for a coffee to start in a lovely area which was delicious. When we went to the Mosque my mothers arms were not properly covered and my covering was white and was too transparent so he bought my mum coverings for her arms and game me his jacket or we would have to have left. He was so knowledgeable. When we come back I wouldnât hesitate to have Khaled take us on tours again ."
"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 picked us up from our hotel, and from the first encounter made us feel welcome as he introduced us to the unique food of this region. We visited the places on our wish list - the dates market, and the fish market - and other local tasting of his suggestion. Khaled also picked up on our interest in the meat market, so we had a quick visit in there too. It's right opposite the dates market. We were able to purchase quality dates at a discounted price thanks to Khaled, and the restaurant where we dined at the fish market cooked fresh seafood of our choosing. We then moved on to three other local places, each doing their one speciality \"The Best\" according to Khaled, and there was no doubt of the flavours, cleanliness and quality. We were made to feel very welcome at every establishment. Without local knowledge you cannot find such places, so in every way the tour met all our expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending that you choose Khaled as your food guide in Abu Dhabi. We have been overwhelmingly struck by the welcoming friendliness of the people in Abu Dhabi, and felt safe every day. "
"Reem hat uns nicht nur viele interessante und neue Erkenntnisse zur Esskultur, den Zutaten und einigen SpezialitĂ€ten nĂ€her gebracht, sie war gleichzeitig auch eine super offene, sympathische und Ă€uĂerst inspirierende GesprĂ€chspartnerin und hatte sogar Ăberraschungen parat, mit denen wir so nicht gerechnet haben. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit zusammen und werden uns noch viel und gern daran zurĂŒck erinnern! Eine ganz klare Weiterempfehlung!!! Wir sagen Danke! đđŒ "
"We had an excellent time with Reem. She took us to a variety of markets (date market, fruit and veg market, fish market) and shared samples with us along the way. She was incredibly knowledgeable and open, answering all the questions we threw at her. The food highlight was the seafood at the end--purchased at the market and cooked up right away by a neighboring restaurant. I can't recommend this tour--and Reem--highly enough."
"Reem made our Culinary Kickstart Tour an unforgettable experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The tour felt personal and relaxed, and she guided us through each stop with great explanations about the food and culture. We enjoyed every moment an discovered so amazing flavors. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!"
"Khaled took our party of 11 around to so many places and every spot was authentically delicious! Half of our group was vegetarian and half non-veg, so we were able to customize our stops so that everybody could try something! We were so full! And everyone really enjoyed their time. For larger groups, like ours, be prepared for left overs and take awayâs. Just communicate early in advance how hungry or not you might be and keep in mind that food at each spot is quite filling! Overall, would highly recommend and do again! đ "
"Khaled was exceptionally warm and friendly to myself and my husband. He was very informative and hand picked all the stops they were all amazing and we appreciated his well thought out tour. We ate delicious food, saw wonderful sights and enjoyed Khaledâs information. we were so full afterwards! highly recommend Khaled! We felt like friends on a night out. Also was great value for money "
"Khaled was easy to communicate with, replying promptly. He showed us great highlights of a variety of local food in different neighborhoods, and took us even past the Corniche to see a beautiful view of the water and city. Thank you, Khaled! "
