Trip was great. Tour guide was friendly. However due to covid mesueum was closed and it was noy mentioned in the trip before. The trip details said entry ticket to meuseum which wasnt provided and no alternative was given either. For example some refund or visit to some other place instead. Overall good experience but i beleive its over priced

It was pretty good and we had a good guide. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the tour was expected to start at 9 am and we sat waiting in the bus until 9.40 am, which was disappointing; the tour itself was very good and I would recommend it.

Excellent short tour (about 4-5 hours) that literally takes you throughout old and new Dubai. Picked me up at my hotel in a smaller vehicle and brought me to the boarding location. Tour left on time in an incredibly comfortable, huge greyhound type bus that had USB charging ports in every seat. Guide was very knowledgeable about Dubai, customs, areas, and knew his way around the city. Bus driver did a phenomenal job navigating some smaller streets. Unfortunately, the bus got a flat tire but luckily we were stopped in a parking lot at the Mosque, so they had everyone on the bus sit on the opposite site, left the A/C on (it was about 110 degrees!) and they had the tire changed out in 30 mins and we were on our way. The only thing I didn’t like was that they ended the tour at the Dubai Mall. I was then stuck and had to find a ride back to my hotel (25 min drive, expensive cab). I would definitely recommend this tour.
