AMAZING ‘Desert Thrill’ driver Tour guide!!!
clairedN6067XQ, 12-01-2023
Today was absolutely magnificent. My family and I explored the wonders of Abu Dhabi with Jaiswal our ‘Desert thrill’ #1 driver tour guide such as the Emirate palace, the beautiful Marina mall, the Grand Mosque and many more but the highlight of my day was definitely Ferrari World (a must). I want to give my thanks to our guide, Jaiswal from ‘Desert Thrill’ as without him, this day would not have been as amazing without his fun, positive attitude and want for his customers happiness- he most definitely exceeded our expectations!!!! We highly recommend this guide :)
Great tour with Sami
