Really good overview of Abu Dhabi that can truly last all day. Mosque is a must visit
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it a great way to get a full overview of Abu Dhabi. We completely agree—the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is truly a must-visit and one of the city’s most remarkable highlights. We’re glad you were able to experience it during your day with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on board again soon! Flavius@BigBusTours
Accepting that our visit was during the hostilities in the Middle East, but with a number of tourist sites open as usual (shopping malls, Sheikh Zayed mosque, and Louvre), we checked carefully if services were showing as operating as normal on the company’s web site. It specifically said they were, gave a timetable, and allowed tickets to be purchased. We used an Uber from Saadiyat Island to arrive 15 minutes prior to the 1000 green route departure from Abu Dhabi Mall. No services were operating, but there was nobody at the scheduled pick up point, or large sales stand inside the mall. Nobody answered the phone. We fully accept the difficulties of operating within the current tensions, but at least have your website updated, suspend ticket sales, answer the phone, and have just one staff member on hand at the main pick up point to support customers arriving for the services.

I had a lovely day out with Big Bus Tours. From the nice lady explaining the routes and stops to me outside Abu Dhabi Mall. To all the drivers who were all nice and friendly. I really wanted to find the Observation Deck at the Etihad Towers. And their driver Raju on his own break. Very kindly walked me there from the bus stop. So thank you Raju much appreciated. Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you all.

We had an excellent experience with Big Bus Tour Abu Dhabi, thanks to guide NOEL! He was very professional and genuinely helpful from the first moment. He took the time to understand what we wanted and advised us perfectly throughout our stay. We used the Hop-on Hop-off Bus and visited the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Presidential Palace Qasr Al Watan. Noel helped us plan everything efficiently and always secured the best prices for our excursions. He clearly explained our options and made sure we got the most value and the best timing. One highlight was the desert safari! . It was beautifully organized and included everything you could wish for. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and memorable. Noel played a big part in making our Abu Dhabi adventure truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Big Bus Tour Abu Dhabi and especially NOEL for his dedication, honesty, and outstanding service.

Thank you for recommending us and for recognizing Noel’s exceptional service. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Abu Dhabi! Warm regards, The Big Bus Abu Dhabi Team
I paid 344 AED, $135 AUD for an 1:50hr tour. I didn’t realise until I got on at 3:30 the guide told us that it was the last bus, & we shouldn’t get off, just stay onboard until we reach the mall again. So I had just paid full price for a round trip. It was a mistake & didn’t realise it. However the map I was given suggested other time frames. Completely got ripped off, & didn’t enjoy it because I didn’t quite get the full experience of all the places, including the free mosque tour I paid for. A taxi ride would’ve been a much cheaper alternative.
Dear Anna, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. This is certainly not the impression we want any guest to leave with. We understand how frustrating it must have been to join the tour later in the afternoon and then discover it was the final bus of the day. Our team always ensure that guests boarding at that time are clearly informed of the schedule, especially regarding the last departure and the ability—or limitations—to hop on and off. Regarding the map timings, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are reviewing the material to ensure it accurately reflects the final service times so no guest is left with incorrect expectations. It is also disappointing to hear that you did not have the opportunity to fully enjoy the attractions you were looking forward to, including the mosque experience. Our aim is to provide a smooth and enjoyable day, and we regret that this was not the case for you. We would really value the chance to look into your experience in more detail and make this right. If you are open to it, please contact us directly with your booking details. Thank you again for your feedback. It genuinely helps us improve our service and prevents similar issues for future guests. Warm Regards, Big Bus Customer Service
