AMAZING experience! At first we were afraid but Hassan took care of us en made us feel very comfortable. Many thanks to him for making us feel safe and giving us a very joyful time! Thankyou from Marijam and Amira!! Also the pictures and video’s are very nice!

This trip is very comfortable rather than going on your own from Dubai. Also being split with Ferrari world it is not a whole day culture especially if there are kids in the tour. Our guide Zeeshan gave us a lot of information and took us nice pictures.

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.

Absolutely brilliant. Took us all round the palm. Slowed down for photos. Friendly guys pointed out all the sights. So nice to have a private yacht too for just our family. Highly recommend

Customer service was lovely, and the ice lounge was nice to experience
