    The two tours, red and blue, were interesting and well organised. The staff friendly and helpful. The bus stops on the route are very bad or not excellent at all. If you got off at one stop and want to get on at the next following one, you won't find it because there are no signs. Very negative. We had to take a cab and ask around.

    The drivers and the staff were very friendly. We would have liked more stops (from our provider). (e.g. on the Dubai Frame). Unfortunately, the specified departure times (except at the mall) were not adhered to and we were not sure when we would be picked up at the bus stop. But maybe that was only the case on the two days we did the tour. It would also be easier to organize if the stops were marked with a sign, especially since there are two different providers that stop at different places. Labeling the stop would be especially helpful if you do the tour over several days and don't start at the point where you got off.

    Getting to know DUBAI on the Blue and Red lines of the Big Bus was the best option we could make. We opted for the 5-day DELUXE Ticket, including a boat trip, visit to the Atlantis Aquarium and Sunset in the Desert. That way we were able to get to know DUBAI from end to end, at our own pace and without spending a penny more on getting around. In addition to all this, it still had Audio in Portuguese, facilitating the understanding of the Guide's explanation. Super recommend. The best tour ever.
