    Awesome safari and dune bashing
    Our group had a great day on this Desert Safari. We enjoyed every part of it and had a lot of fun with sandboarding, camel ride, BBQ and so on.
    The highlight was without any doubt the dune bashing with our excellent driver Shameerka - unbelievable how he drove us safely through the dunes! It was way better than everybody of us expected. It's definitely a must-do when visiting Abu Dhabi.

    An Unforgettable Experience 💜
    This excursion was so much fun. It far exceeded our expectations. Got to ride a camel with my cousin multiple times, dune bashing was exhilarating, held a hawk for the first time and the person who did the spinning was a nice surprise. Our driver Shameer made the experience even better! He took our photos, checked in on us and made us laugh. The food overall could have been a bit better, but very small point in comparison to all the rest.

    Great tour
    This was a fantastic tour! Our guide Nauman was fantastic, provided great commentary and information, took us to all the important sights, and was a great photographer too! We visited Ferrai World on a Saturday and fortunately it was not very busy so were able to do most of the main attractions within the 4 hour period . Highly recommend to anyone visiting Dubai who would like to see Abu Dhabi.

    Excellent value for the price
    I was well worth the price as you get so much value. There are so many things you can do and almost everything is included.
    Dune bashing was also quite an experience. Our driver Mr. Shavanas has excellent driving skill so that you can enjoy the ride.
    I can only recommend it!

    Good overview
    A good tour to get to see a bit of Abu Dhabi at a reasonable price and a good opportunity to get some good photos.

    Rahim our driver did really well to accommodate the group which was 4 in a people carrier. 2 of the group had specific timings to finish and get back to their hotel, he then continued the tour for me and the other guy to complete the itinerary after dropping them off.

    Rahim gave us enough time to visit each location including the Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, Heritage Centre, Dates Market and enjoying the spectacular views along the way, he also provided some interesting Information.

    A good tour to get around Abu Dhabi, I would recommended it.

    Great for people with little time
    An enjoyable afternoon and evening. Perfect way to experience a bunch of new things in one day. VIP if you want to be served your food at a table before the others queue for theirs

    Go city explore best city has to offer
    Writing this review so others can benefit. I researched on Dubai and didn’t want unreliable tour guide. I’ve used go city in other cities so I was confident. Purchased 7 choice explorer pass for 2 adult and 2 children for my 10 day trip. We planned 1-2 activities each day and other days we planned some rest days or go on other non go city activities. Some go city requires reservations via email or WhatsApp, most responded quickly. We saw all the best Dubai has to offer from land to high rise, snow to dessert to water. Burj Khalifa, aquarium, ski Dubai, ice skating, sea camel water, safari, amusement park. As a side note if prune to motion sickness take anti-dizziness pills 1 hour before trip works even for kids.

    Amazing trip of abudahbi with Bilal
    Everything was amazing!! Pickup was on time. The vehicle was clean and in order. We got to all destinations safely and were thoroughly entertained the whole ride. Bilal was amazing as our tour guide. It's obvious that he truly loves what he does. I would definitely recommend this tour company to other, and recommend Bilal as your tour guide.
