What people are saying about Dubai Marina

Overall rating

4.6
(36,595 reviews)

Alhamdulillah, it was very interesting and fun. The selection of places were appropriate for those who enjoy sightseeing, mostly featuring great architectural feats, but also incorporating local culture at Old Dubai towards the end. The guide was knowledgeable with the many tourist attractions at Dubai, and he seems to know many other locals we met on the way as well. His explanations were clear, and he was very patient with my questions. He gave me two extra hours as well, and bought me some local food (Zara’s bread) and drink (camel milk tea). He was very flexible with my praying ‘Asr and Maghrib (we went to mosques for both these prayers) which is very commendable and appreciated, though I was traveling alone anyway. I was a bit underwhelmed and uncomfortable by the walking through the stores inside Dubai Mall (other than the lake inside and the aquarium, which were both stunning) but this is only a minute drawback of the trip that may only apply to me. Overall, a great experience!

The activity itself was really fun, and enjoyable. The flight to go up and come down was so smooth coming from a person who done it for the first time. Defo would recommend this activity. It is on the pricey side especially for just 12 minutes but honestly saying it was worth the money. The experience was beyond expectations.

Staff on board were very helpful and made every effort to make the tour exciting and the food was also good thanks I would highly recommend this company

stunning yacht, friendly crew, nice views of the iconic city, excellent music, good food and drinks

Absolutely amazing, great staff and service! We will return!
