This was a very good hop on hop off bus experience. The audio guide commentary was informative. Buses had an enclosed air conditioned section upstairs too which was helpful in the 40 deg heat. A timetable was also given out with all the times of the stops/pickups throughout the day which is very helpful. Drivers were really friendly and helpful My only criticism, was the lack of information regarding what could be seen/done at each stop. Also, not all stops were well marked with Big Bus.,

Good to go arround the city and to see all the main attractions, but there is no many things to say besides those few main attractions, unlike some other cities with the rich history. The time schedule is ok more or less, but at one station we have to wait for the bus for about 1 hour because one bus has never come, so we had to wait fir the next one. However, good experience, but too expensive for what you get (for the price for 2 persons you can get 10 - 15 taxi rides arround the city).

The bus experience was great in Dubai but it’s just that the buses sometimes came late to schedule as we waited in the sun and the audio narration needs updating. Very aware that Dubai is a fast growing city but I think some things was like it will happen in 2020 and I think that’s a bit dated for 2022.
