A friend and I enjoyed a wonderful day in Abu Dhabi with Zakarya's colleague Dana. She surprised us at the port with the traditional welcome of Arabic coffee and dates. She whipped us through the important sights allowing us time to take in the amazing Grand Mosque and Qasr Al Watan - and even went off plan to provide access to the best photography viewpoints. She took the extra effort to take photos and videos of us enjoying these experiences. Dana facilitated an immersive visit beyond just seeing things. On the fly she coordinated our entry to high tea at the Emirates Palace so we could drink Gold Cappuchino and enjoy the most phenomenal pistachio and chocolate monster cookies. She helped us negotiate the right prices for products in the souk. Dana's thoughtful and energetic approach to hosting us made our visit that much more meaningful.
Great tour of truly a fascinating place
I enjoyed a private all day tour with Zak. We managed to cover all the main sites thanks to his efficiency and planning. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to . I highly recommend him as a tour guide for Abu Dhabi.
Zack was very friendly and enthusiastic beginning from our first messages and through the end of the tour. He is very knowledgeable about Abu Daubi as well as the UAE and other Gulf countries. Throughout the tour he encouraged our questions and the time was very interactive. I would strongly recommend Zak as a tour leader and expect others who have experienced his tours feel the same.
