A great experience to ride up in the lift with a view outside, then, stepping out of the lift to see the hotels you thought were skyscrapers looking rather small below. Great view down the "alley" of hotels in the Financial Centre and the Burj Khalifa and Lake.

Mohammad was a beautiful and very knowledgeable tour guy . He explained all the interesting places as well as we passed . Stoped in between at some interesting places too. The only problem that was annoying. Was that we had 4 Italians who didn't understand English. So poor Mohamed had to speak very slowly and repeat what he was trying to explain just for this family . They were rude to him and sat in different places when on and off the bus .WHY put Italians with English speaking passengers .if they need to interpret the tour guide . Apart from them . The journey was 100% satisfactorily and will recommend this company and Mohammad again .couple Pictures taken by Mohammad are tour guide . He took us for a lovely Indian medd as l also .

I wasn’t expecting this trip to be this much of fun however, it was worth every penny. The Ferrari World was simply amazing because of the amount of fun I had. Loved hoping on to the rides such as Formula Rosa because it made me scream like a little kid.

I easily booked the tour online. Our tour guide immediately attended to us, provided information, and explained everything along the way in an air-conditioned car with headphones that could be adjusted to different languages. Our driver, Ahmet, was also attentive until the tour guide joined us and answered every question I asked. It was a pleasant tour. :)

I went with them solo and the guide tourist Mr. Yunaz Saeed was wonderful! He explained almost everything in the abu dhabi trip, with every mile we drive he’d tell us to look right and left and explain what everything is, and as someone who asks a lot of questions he did not disappoint with answers ! He was soo kind and i really enjoyed my time, the only negative thing that i could say is timing wise, we arrived a one and a half later, but he was soo nice and kind about it specially after knowing i was in hurry and drove me first to my hotel! Seriously an amazing trip 🙏🏻
