Definitely recommend the hop on hop off tour, there is so many things to see in Dubai. I wished that I had done the tour first up. Would recommend getting a 2 or 3 day pass so you can stop off and enjoy each area. If you are stuck for time, then definitely do 1 full day!

Fantastic experience! Everything went smoothly from checking in with kind helpful staff. The helicopter pilot was very professional and informative. The views of the palm and the iconic attractions were spectacular. Definitely recommend a+++

Something different to try if not tried before, the view is not as clear as I would of expected it to be. There seems to be a cloudy view from up there. Never the less we enjoyed it and the service was spot on.

Because of the big distances from a touristic object to another, it is very helpfull. Also the headphones are very important because so you find everything you want to know important about the city.

Awesome experience and the easiest and cheapest way to move around town
