I would recommend It! - I went with my family yesterday and we enjoyed a lot! We had little time to see Dubai, so this tour was perfect to get to know the old and new Dubai in a short time. Whisky (our tour guide) was explaining us many interesting things that helped us understand the real Dubai. He was great! The bus was very confortable and the a/c was working perfectly. I would definetly recommend the tour if you are short in time and want to see the maximum number if things from Dubai.

Excellent informative tour - Loved the fast pace of the tour covering the sights of Dubai. Tour guide Reena was the best we have experienced. Loads of interesting and useful information on the history and life in Dubai. Reena told us where to shop and haggle in the city. All in all an excellent tour and would recommend to any first timer to Dubai

Great tour for those short on time - This is a great tour if you’re in Dubai for a short amount of time and looking to hit the major attractions. If you’re looking to go in and experience each place, this is not the tour for you. We only had a short amount of time to explore so this was perfect for us. We got the pictures we wanted and learned a lot about the city. Our tour guide Liz, was great as well! Definitely recommend for first-timers visiting Dubai!

GOOD CITY TOUR - It would have been nice to know we were being picked up on a feeder bus as opposed to the beginning of the tour! However we enjoyed the trip and Liz was pleasant and very knowledgeable about the history of Dubai. The places we visited were all interesting with a mix of new and old! We saw far more than we would have independently.

The most important sights in the quick-run - Experience Dubai’s main sights quickly with our safe driver and guide whisky was a fun, entertaining undertaking. The most important one in a nutshell was professionally and entertainingly introduced by Whisky. When there were no sights to explain, he brought us closer to the country and people.
