Amazing - I loved the experience on big bus. Through big bus i was able to experience the beauty of Dubai. It was breathtaking. And the driver Zahid was phenomenal, very helpful and informative. He would take us to difference places and would do the commentary himself and never rushed. A true gentleman. Highly recommended folks.

See the city at your own pace. - This is the best way to see Dubai at your own pace. We had rented a car in Dubai but there is no way to see the city with a car since the traffic is hectic. On the bus the city is all yours. You see a lot and visit the main attractions as you want. No hassle. There is a ton of photo opertunities. You also find the jams you did not know about. And the staff is marvolous. Kind and friendly. Recommend.

Good experience in Dubai - It was a very good experience enjoyed the city by going around everything was very interesting, the matter of the driving force of the bus itself and need to have more comfortable chairs.

Good experience and good way to get around - The bus was clean and comfortable and audio very informative and good quality. It is a great way to see the city. We purchased a 24h pass but if you stay a couple days it is worth buying the extended passes as the bus is also a good way to get around. Blue and red routes are very different and worth the time. We did not make use of the aquarium visit as the lines were too long. We wanted to do the Dhow cruise but were too late so just check timing and plan around it. Initially we thought it was expensive but in context of what you get and how far things are apart, it is reasonable. Dubai in general is extremely expensive.
