- 824lesb0 contributionsThe guide was excellent with information and advice that was very helpful.Enjoyed the tour very much. Also the audio on the tour bus was really informative. I was thankful that the tour bus driver had picked me up early and took me to visit the 1st stop before it got busy which was a bonus.Written 13 November 2024

- jyotiv3970 contributionsFull day Dubai tripGreat experience. All timings were kept well. Tour guide kept us informative with what to expect d how much time we should spend.Written 11 November 2024
- Donna F0 contributionsThis was outstanding! First time in Dubai! Beautiful at night! The Fountain Show was fabulous! Great tour guideThis was a great tour, it lasted much longer than stated on the paperwork, but our guide went out of his way for us! They had head phones to hear all about what we were seeing! It was recorded! We were in a minivan with 5 other people! It was great to see all the sites at night! The beach had water falls that were lit up! The highlight was to watch the Fountain Show!!! I was concerned I would get lost, but just walked through the mall for sometime and was there! The tallest building in the world was there and was all full of sparking lights! So beautiful! The Fountain Show was amazing! I was in awe the entire 5 minutes with how the water moved! I highly recommend this tour!! It was wonderful!!!!!!!Written 11 November 2024
- Leakins0 contributionsAcceptable experience. Just be aware of the caveats.Good quick overview of the sights and landmarks of Dubai to let you know where you might want to come back to later, and if you don't have time for a full-day tour. Caveat #1 - tour takes you to what was deemed as a "cultural center" that was nothing but a tourist trap with the focus on trying to sell you tapestry rugs to hang on your wall. Yes, there was some good information given, but the main focus was a moderate hard sell. This took up about 30 minutes of the tour if not more. You are ushered upstairs to a big room lined with chair. The curators/sales people bring out tapestry after tapestry and lay them on the floor and tell you how much they cost. As you are leaving they come up to you personally trying to get you to purchase a tapestry. Downstairs there are all types of figurines they try to get you to purchase. Nothing on the building says cultural center. It is nothing more than a tourist store. It was obvious that the tour company has an arrangement to bring the tour there. Caveat #2 - When you are taken to the Souk, the same thing occurs as what happens at the "cultural center." You get to the souk and then must go into a specific shop, up the stairs, and hear a spice/herb presentation with a moderately hard sell afterwards. This took up about 15 minutes. You are then given time to go through the souk on your own with a specified time to return to the shop as a meeting point. Caveat #3 - the tour ends at the mall and Burj Khalifa. Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours standing in line to the 125th floor lookout of the Burj Khalifa. We spent about 2+ hours in the line to get to the elevators. Once you are on the floor, it is a beautiful outlook (if there is no smog/fog). However, you then of course of to go through the gift shop where there is another loooonnnnggg line to get on the elevators to go down. With a bad bag, I knew I could not stand in another line for several hours. I begged an attendant to let me and my wife go down with the next group which was granted. In all fairness, we went at about 1p. Maybe the lines are shorter first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon. My wife and I felt it was not worth the wait, and it basically made our tour an all day event. We were too tired from standing in line to walk through the mall. But for the price, it was a good way to see the landmarks and sites and learn about the history of Dubai. You use earbuds on the coach bus with recorded tour information. The guide on the bus was very helpful and provided context and additional information.Written 9 November 2024
- Vacationer5688450 contributionsDubai tour experienceExcellent trip, and guide was awesome. Maintained time to the T. Would have loved a few more minutes in Gold souq or jumeira beachWritten 9 November 2024
- Nadia B0 contributionsNo substanceThis tour had no substance. Every place visited was only 10 mins photo opp outside. No your guide province providing any talk about the area visited. Nine hours turned into eleven hours of nothing. There was the crazy lang one hour or more line at the Burj Khalifa. The tickets was not pre booked like on other tours I experienced with priority entrance. For 9 hours we should have been able to visit inside the mosque. They showed us building from a distance but didn’t visit anything. We had eight stop with each one being 10 mins for photos from the distance. Went to the palm only saw it from the monorail. Which was pointless. Walked for seemed for ever to see Atlantis only to take pictures for 10 mins from all the way across the street on the other side of the building. It was a whole bunch of nothing worst tour ever experienced . Went to Old Baladayia like market place to walk around would of been a very nice experience if given enough time to walk around tour guide took us to one shop and that was it out of the whole market. Went on the most boring river taxi ride from one side to the next about five minutes absolutely nothing to see. Pointless. The tour operators nice but I paid for a whole day tour and left feeling a waste of my time and money. If your expecting a full day of experience and a tour of Dubai this was not it. Don’t recommend this at all.Written 6 November 2024

- Rafayel S0 contributionsGood Experience, But Room for Improvement in Tour ItineraryAs the tour is a full-day experience, with the goal of visiting as many places as possible, it may be best to exclude the Arabian shop from the itinerary. Additionally, we could consider excluding the souvenir shop or reducing the time spent there to make room for another location. It would also be great to have a guide in Dubai Mall to ensure we can see the fountains both inside and outside. Overall, the experience was good, though there are still areas for improvement.Written 3 November 2024

- eleanorv8380 contributionsNot worth the moneyMy first big bus your, won’t take another. Guide was knowledgeable and clear about stops and timing, but he spoke over the info on the headsets making it hard to understand and/or hear information. Timing for going up to Burj Khalifa was awful, 3 hours to go up, look around and grab a bite meant 2 hours in line going up, 45 mins wait to come down forcing everyone to grab fast food to eat. Felt rushed at the top, rushed to eat, and rushed for the remainder of the trip. Back to the hotel an hour after expected time. Book the half day tour, do the Burj Khalifa on your own time and spend all the time you want wandering the mall and sitting down for a meal.Written 28 October 2024

I recently went on a Dubai city tour from Abu Dhabi and it was an absolute delight! Suhail, our guide, was exceptional – extremely courteous, punctual, and very accommodating. He ensured that the tour ran smoothly. The tour itself was fantastic, with an array of wonderful stops that showcased the best of Dubai's attractions. Suhail's expertise and friendly demeanor made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour and kudos to Suhail for an excellent job!

I took a day tour of Dubai from Abu Dhabi with Suhail, and it was completely perfect. On our itinerary he was entertaining and informative, he took care of the group very well, and showed us around the Emirates between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The itinerary in Dubai was well-comprehensive to see the majour and important sights (so you can show off on Instagram, too) Thank you, Suhail, you are the best and I look forward to my next visit!

I highly recommend this tour. In one day we were able to visit all hot spots in Dubai by a fully air conditioned van. Our guide Suhail was very helpful, he explained to us everything and he was consistently checking if we are ok during our stops. The food at the restaurant that was included was amazing. I recommend this tour company to everyone!! Thanks for everything.

We had a really lovely day with the tour guide Suhail. There was enough time at each spot to take some nice photos and the audio guide was available in several languages (including German). Suhail also warned us about rip-offs and was super nice. In total, we had three hours in the Dubai Mall and the surrounding area, which we could spend at our own pace. All in all, we can only recommend the trip.

This trip was nice, Suhail provided plenty of information about the places we visited. I only wished we had 30' of swimming in the sea near Burj al Arab. I like Suhail's driving style. He is very sure of himself. The car should be branded with Grey lines, in order to be more visible for the clients. I had problems in seeing the car at Dubai Mall parking, among all the other passenger cars.
