It was a great experience, thanks to Fazal's excellent guiding skills. Besides the wealth of information provided during our trip, he showed real interest in making our visits as successfull as possible, taking care of details we weren't aware of. The whole trip went smooth, we were not in a rush, everything was on time and we felt safe. If you are looking for a trip to Abu Dhabi without stops to various local shops, than this is for you.

Amazing tour and highly recommended for all those interested in history and architecture. The palace interior is spectacular. Definitely factor in about 2-3 hours if you want to slowly walk through it and absorb all the details and facts. The mosque is also amazing but be sure to have the correct attire. Also factor in about 2-3 hours to properly review it. These are the two main attractions. The trip to Abu Dhabi is nice but nothing spectacular. Our tour guide however was very informative (Fazal of 360 tours). Very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the country and the various areas we drove through.

I recently went on the Abu Dhabi city tour with Louvre Museum and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the whole experience was seamless, informative, and incredibly enjoyable. Our tour guide, Yunaz, was truly exceptional. He has an in-depth knowledge of the area, very approachable and helpful. The pace of the tour was perfect—everything was well-timed, and we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and roam around. I highly recommend this tour company. It was worth every penny, and I’ll definitely be booking again next time I’m in town!

I recently went on the Abu Dhabi city tour with Louvre Museum and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the whole experience was seamless, informative, and incredibly enjoyable. Our tour guide, Yunaz, was truly exceptional.
He has an in-depth knowledge of the area, very approachable and helpful.
The pace of the tour was perfect—everything was well-timed, and we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and roam around. I highly recommend this tour company. It was worth every penny, and I’ll definitely be booking again next time I’m in town!

It was a great experience, thanks to Fazal's excellent guiding skills. Besides the wealth of information provided during our trip, he showed real interest in making our visits as successfull as possible, taking care of details we weren't aware of. The whole trip went smooth, we were not in a rush, everything was on time and we felt safe. If you are looking for a trip to Abu Dhabi without stops to various local shops, than this is for you.

We took the Ferrari World combo as we were in the city only for the weekend and wanted to experience everything. We also booked a Dubai tour for the next day, covering everything.

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in Abu Dhabi beendet und hatten das 5 Tages Ticket gebucht.
Alles hat super geklappt, die Busse waren pünktlich und alle waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein besonderes Dankeschön an Shalee, die uns noch den Tipp gegeben hat, im Emirates palace Hotel einen Cappuccino mit echten Goldsplittern zu trinken.
Der Audioguide war sehr informativ.
Wenn wir wieder mal Urlaub in einer Großstadt machen, würden wir auf jeden Fall nochmal ein Big Bus Tour kaufen.

Nothing quite like sailing through the golden dunes and riding along the desert, mounted atop of friendly camels. This was my first time in Abu Dhabi and I can't wait to return

Was a little tiring to step out into the sun (felt extremely fatigued) but we kept hydrating. You'll need that to survive

There's something very relaxing about sitting on low but comfortable diwans and taking in the starry night. Thank you Headout for my ticket

Apart from the blazing heat, there was little to complain about this ticket. The service was excellent throughout, we didn't feel like aliens as Americans, and the food was scrumptous- pretty great trip altogether

Excellent experience for a first visit to discover the city of Abu Dhabi. The visit to the Sheikh Zayed mosque was particularly appreciated and the guide was very attentive and explained every detail of this extraordinary architectural jewel. Thanks to the agency that picked us up from our respective hotels in Dubai, I highly recommend them.
