We were picked up in a mini bus and took to a bus collection point no one knew what was going on no one said what coach to get on I don’t even think they knew we went to the mosque and the guild did not tell us anything about the mosque which was very disappointing I was told long sleeves legs covered and head scarf of which I had to be told I was not dresses what they wanted so had to buy a full dress we got commentary through the ear phones but I don’t feel there was any communication we visited a few places which were ok when we got back to Dubai we were told on the itinerary we’re would be taken to a shopping centre to be dropped off but no we were dropped off in a place we did not know and had to find and pay for a taxi ,not an enjoyable day.

This tour was great, the entrance to the mosque was super fast, we didn't have to wait in lines and went straight in. The we had lunch at the mall, and then they took us around Abu Dhabi, and brought us back to Dubai. It's a great way to visit the city and not spending too much.

My family of 5 enjoyed this tour very much. The bus- very clean & smooth ride. The bus driver was great and friendly, keeping us safe fr & to. [Thank you Sir]. Tour guide, ahh what can I say about Naveen D' Souza , he was awesome, very friendly, kind & did a great job informing us what we see along the way, very informative. Mostly, he is a comedian lol & makes everyone laugh & relax. Ask Naveen to be your tour guide 100% and the bus driver too. No regrets to this tour, love it. Yes & I gave a good $ tip , (please don't skip of not tipping them ), both are grateful w a smile. This company is lucky to have a workers like this two.
