Nice Dubai City Tour - Tiffany was a fantastic tour guide! Waiting for us as we stepped off the cruise ship and took us on an amazing Halfday tour of Dubai. Great knowledge of the city, the history of the city, and key spots to stop at. Best guide we had on our trip. Answered all of our questions, personalized our tour and helped us find the best bargains in the city. Really enjoyed

Nice tour - An excellent tour of Dubai in half day with a very knowledgeable guide, Jeewan, who went out of his way to help us see sights Having lived in Dubai in the late 1970’s we were eager to see the old Clock Tower roundabout and the Creek area. The tour brought back some wonderful happy memories!!

Fine if you are looking for an uninformative drive around Dubai - Tour guide arrived an hour late and did not communicate so I thought I had been forgotten. The help centre for the tour was quick to respond and let me know they were running late and blamed it on traffic. None the less, they are from here and should be aware of the traffic in the area and do pickups accordingly. Guide never said a word until we got to the frame. He then told us a few things but mostly looked at this phone. Though it was an English language tour, the company had about 2/3 of the group who didn't speak a word so the guide had to translate and seemed to say much more when speaking in Urdu. Stops were quick and we were left on our own unlike another tour I took where the guide walked with us and took pictures for everyone with personal cameras. There was a very irate woman who thought we were going to the spice markets and she was angry the entire tour and the guide didn't help, just ignored her. I was glad I hadn't paid much. We had four stops and it was like on-off tour bus.

It Was Ok! - The tour served it's purpose, getting us to the different Dubai attractions. Otherwise, I've been on better organized city tours where the guide takes time to share facts about the attractions and shares unique information.

Not good at all - They were supposed to pick us up between 8:45 and 9:00 and picked us up at 9:45 which means we started one hour late. The tour was nothing special, very little time in the interesting places and a LOT of time at the shop which I would have preferred to spend in other interesting places in the city. I would strongly recommend doing better research than the one I did so you choose a much better tour than this one.

Never again! - Hands off this tour! We had low expectations due to the price. Even these were far undercut. We were picked up by an old, rusty and dirty minibus. Our guide got on at some point, spoke rudimentary barely intelligible English and gave virtually no information about the sights. The coronation was a sales show in a house where overpriced gold embroidered carpets and Indian/Asian souvenirs were to be forced upon us. This lasted about 1 hour, which of course went away from the time of the photo stops. Most of the excursion consisted of collecting the other participants. All in one - a big bust and a waste of time. Better treat yourself to a good coffee somewhere in a beautiful place.
