We had a very interesting guide who taught us a lot about the history of the Emirates and the places we visited. We enjoyed the Moskee and the Louvre but the héritage village was not as interesting as the two others. The guide also took great care of my husband and me who couldn't walk long ways and he found us some buggies. So very good day

The tour was really nice. The guide was very kind and provided us with a lot of information about what we were visiting, as well as about the city.
The only suggestion I would like to give is that, for some attractions—such as the Ferrari Museum—it might be better to pass closer or stop for a couple of minutes. From the car, it is visible only very briefly and from quite far away.

We very much enjoyed the tour in a small group (6 persons), led by a nice driver-guide. We would have appreciated a bit more time in the Zayed mosque and perhaps a photo stop around Quasr Al Watan, but all in all it was the appropriate tour to get a first insightful impression of Abu Dhabi. We would truly recommend it!
