This was one of the best parts of the trip. Such a planned and pleasant guide experience from Zeeshan. He has been a great guide and provided all the details about the locations visited and the information of well known sites during the journey. A great end to the vacation with this Abu Dhabi trip. Would recommend this to everyone whoever wants to visit Abudhabi on a day trip.

Beautiful experience on a private yacht, with a stop in front of the Atlantis Hotel, Burj Al Arab and Palm Beach for a swim. They offered bottled still water and provided a cooler for our drinks and the fruit we had with us. Slow cruising speed and no seasickness. Departure and arrival on time. To find the meeting point we used the Get your Guide app.

Thank to our guide Nauman, he was really excellent!!! I recommend him for his narrative skills, knowledge of Abu Dhabi and very helpful approach during the whole day! Thank you, great job. The journey to Abu Dhabi was a great experience!

Great activity. To do 12 minutes is a bit short but superb view especially when you are in front. There were 4 of us in the helicopter.
