Grand Mosque tour guide - this is an amazing experience and our tour guide Riz made it 10X better! really helpful and has an answer for every question you have about the tour. Riz has a very knowledge about everything to do with dubai, abu dhabi and its history and if you find yourself on a tour with Riz then count yourself lucky! overall great trip and brilliant to dive into a different culture and see it how it really is and not how it’s portrayed online. would 100% recommend to everyone if you have time

An Adventurous Day in Abu Dhabi - The tour guide gave us a good explanation on the history and future development plans of the UAE. The sites are amazingly beautiful and you get to experience the gold and spice souks, ride the Abra boat, and go into a traditional restaurant for coffee and dates. The Mad Max rest stop is really cool. We also get to stop by the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The day went by fast and you get to know others on the tour. Highly recommend.

Excellent time with great guide - We had an amazing time in Abu Dhabi. Riz was so friendly, thoughtful and informative. He accommodated our request and gave us more than enough time to enjoy each excursion. He provided details at each attraction as well as along the highway as we rode roundtrip. He suggested a superb restaurant. His driving was safe and efficient too. We booked a private tour so there was room for flexibility. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing - Riz was a terrific guide. This is my first time in the UAE; I learned a lot from him, not just about the tour we were on, but about the country in general. He has a terrific historical knowledge of this country, its government, it’s people, and he is a great representative of its culture. The tour was tremendous. The obvious highlight was the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. He gave a very good history of it, there was ample time for photo shoots. He answered all of our questions. I learned a lot about not just the mask but Islam in general. We also very much enjoy the presidential palace. I would certainly recommend this tour and.Riz as a guide to all my friends who may come here.
