I recently had the pleasure of touring with Zain and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the initial planning stages to the final farewell, Zain provided top-notch service, ensuring our trip was seamless, hassle-free, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable.

The tour and the guide itself was good and we enjoyed our time when in Abu Dhabi but we were expected to make our own way to and from our Airbnb despite it being only 10-12mins away from the pick up point whilst everyone else was picked up from their hotel. I paid the ticket price with the expectation that I will be picked up and dropped off and not to spend extra £10-20 on transport to and from the pick up point. I would not have booked if they let me know about this. Very disappointed to only be make aware of this at 6am in the morning on the day of the tour with a phone call when they had 3-4 days to let us know but they did not let us know on purpose so the ticket was not refundable. I'm very disappointed with this.

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.

While booking the tickets i was little worried that how's it's gonna be. But I must say my tour guide kamran Ahu make it more interesting by elaborating everything. Thank you kamran Ahu.

Our stops at the Grand Mosque and Baps Hindu Mandir were the highlights of the tour with stunning insight into history with spectacular buildings. Ferrari World was unfortunately a complete failure with only 3 out of the top 5 rides working (Flying Aces and Formula Rossa both closed - these rides are sold as the prime attractions so completely let down). There was a couple of questionable stops, at a Date market (possibly inflated prices compared to shops in Dubai) and a building where we entered via a back door and everyone was offered questionable items to buy including rugs, perfume and jewellery that we were told were not available elsewhere only to see them in the Plaza at the Grand Mosque.

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!

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.

Timining of tour usually takes longer than 10 hours as dubai traffic is bad at night.

We booked 6 activities from Headout in our UAE visit with family where rest 5 were phenomenal experience but this was a blunder. Infact In fact I did not got the service they charged me for and by mistake I have selected 5 star for this activity. The tour guide did not knew anything properly plus they made us sit in their car for 2 + hours as they did not got any confirmation from from their local tour operator about the package after escalating they took us to the mosque and dropped us at Louvre Museum rest I did not visit anywhere. I was with my 3 Senior Citizen parent and In laws and It was my wife's Birthday you guys totally spoiled. I need refund of my booking as I did not got the service I paid for . To highlight I spoke to Sahil from Custmer service at the tour was going on and Akash after the tour and shared the experience. Akash promised me the resolution in next 48 hours I am waiting for the same.
