Zena our guide was very knowledgeable and she had a lot to say. We went up Shams Tower which had great views of the track and is just for the elite. The drive around the track was slow in the minivan but still enjoyable. Got up close to the safety cars and went inside their garage. The 2 hour tour just flew by.

Would just like to say how wonderful the tour guide was today in the face of such adversity . Many thanks

A brilliant tour which engaged our whole family group which ranged from an 82 year old to a 9 year old. Everything was perfect and super well organised. The tour guide was informative, fun and very knowledgeable. A great activity even if you are not an F1 fan.

Loved the F1 experience. It has inspired me to watch F1 races in future. It ran smoothly and we had plenty of time to take photos.

Really interesting session. Meeting the guide at Yas central, via gate 20, then jumping on a small coach to tour the circuit. There are lots of stops along the way to take photos, and the guide offered good insight into the key areas of the track. Recommended.

Not as promised. I booked a tour in a minibus with a maximum of 6 people. Got a coach with 30 people. Disappointing! I felt we had been ripped off.
Tour and guide were excellent though

It was a really good tour, and the lady narrating was brilliant, very informative, and did not rush us.

We travelled from Dubai, took the metro as far as we could and then an RTA taxi for approx 200 AED, found Yas Central easily enough and were an hour early. We were invited to look at the cars in the reception and then to relax in the hospitality lounge. The tour itself was fun and informative, being able to see the pit lane and garages, team villas and podium was special, as well as a circuit of the track with plenty of photo stops. At the end of the tour the reception staff were really helpful in booking an Abu Dhabi taxi back to Dubai, costing around 170 AED. All in all it was an amazing, one-off experience.

One of the best tours I have ever done - got to see parts of the track that you do not normally get to. A must do in Aby Dhabi
Harman_H, Apr 2025
Great experience overall, loved that we could get on the track, love that we saw pit lane and garages, and loved that we could see the team villas. I would say it was disappointing not being able to see the race control as promised and the F1 champions podium. Otherwise a nice day out.

The worst excursion ever. Totally unprepared Tour Guide who only started the day before. He knew nothing about F1 or even how to turn the lights on- we were escorted through a dark building where we could not even see the model cars. He could not do the demo as he said the batteries were dead! 7 participants got stuck in a lift, the Tour Guide had left the building and had told the driver of the bus to continue until other guests told him he could not. He had no idea how many people he had on the tour! It was a total car-crash and much of what had been advertised to see, he completely skipped.

Great tour.
We were lucky - there was a F4 practice session in play when we were there so seeing and more so hearing the cars was amazing. You go to the grandstand seats at the stadium hairpin, the garages and pit strait and the royal tower observation deck.
I would be concerned this trip would not be a good if there are no racing cars on track though…..
Nicola_F, Jan 2025
A nice relaxing tour,you get to see the track from the royal box which is fantastic!Great trip if you have a stop over and a few hours to spare.Very near the airport.
Andrew_h, Oct 2024
Great tour ,guide very knowledgeable over 2 hours long went into the stands, pit lane onto the track taking many photos.
Caroline_b, Oct 2024
As a formula 1 fan it was a an amazing experience to see and hear what goes on behind the scenes of the sport. Our tour guide answered so many of my questions I had and explained exactly what goes on, a must do experience for any fan of the sport!
Martin_D, Oct 2024
Everything was perfect, recommend for everybody who likes motorsport and F1. The 2 hours were used with max. effectivity to show us as much as possible.
Nicole_T, May 2024
Had an amazing time on the tour of the Circuit! We had a young F1 fan on our tour, and our guide went out of his way to have everyone sing happy birthday to him and even race control sent him a wonderful message! You hit all of the major stops on the tour, and our guide was so so knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this tour enough! If you are having trouble finding the location, either tell the driver or put in “Yas Karting School” to the ride share or GPS and you’ll land right at the tour beginning!
Kim_G, May 2024
Great experience. The tour guide was brilliant. Very interesting to see and hear all about Yas Marina Circuit.
Niall_O, May 2024
Exceptional tour with a fantastic tour guide an air conditioned bus! Highly recommend to anyone who is a big F1 fan
Ben_P, May 2024
Circuit tour very good. Reason for only 4* is that it was very slow and we couldn’t view the podium.
Douglas_G, Apr 2024
Great “behind the scenes” experience for both F1 enthusiasts and non race fans alike! Fantastic knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed seeing the control room and driving the track!
Nicola_M, Apr 2024
Initially our taxi driver took us to a hotel called Yas Centro, however after checking the paperwork again he soon found gate 20 and Yas Central. We were there in plenty of time and watched some driverless testing while waiting for the tour to start which was interesting the other upside to this was the control room was in operation so we got to see them at work. The downside obviously we couldn’t go on the track. Our guide was very good and interesting. We loved this tour especially as both huge F1 fans when the race comes around in November we will be able to identify the points of interest.
matthew_b, Mar 2024
The tour was really good, however I was disappointed at the lack of information regarding how to get to the meeting point. Please be mindful it’s not easy to get to Yas Central using the Yas express as it rarely stops there. Also taxi drivers don’t seem to know how to get to Yas central either. One taxi driver got lost and told me it was closed and not accessible so I gave up with him and got into another taxi, he also didn’t know and had to get directions from security. Yas central is inside the actual circuit so you have to go to GATE 20 to get inside.

Our tour bus got special permission to drive on the track for 15-minutes! It was an amazing experience and the tour guide was witty and charming. We also got to visit the new trophy platform and hear about the wonderful stories of this great sport. Getting to the tour meeting place was very confusing and we almost didn't make the 2:00pm start time. They need better signage to direct the tour attendees. Overall, this was a 5-star tour and worth the amazing experience. Thank you!
Elena_T, Jan 2024
Amazing experience with a very informative, funny and charming guide Mr. Niazi. We will definitely recommend this tour to all our friends.

Salma_R, Oct 2023
This tour is a must for F1 fans but even if you are not you will still enjoy it! Our guide was very informative and funny. We even got the opportunity to walk on the track and go up the viewing tour.
Mark_S, Sep 2023
