Tour was great. Dinner at the Georgia Armani seafood buffet was fantastic with great view of the dancing fountains. The tour would have been perfect if we didn’t have to wait an hour to get to the observation level of the Burj Khalifa

Unfortunately our itinerary was changed due to situations . Whilst having cruised on the ship before we were a little disappointed at how tired the ship appeared in the cabins and bathroom. Staff were very obliging in the restaurants, bars and cabins But the organisation at the pier was something to be desired , also when we docked in some locations we were asked to pay for shuttle buses which did not seem fair .

My tour (with guide Shakeeb) was absolutely fantastic! We hit all of the must-see stops and sights, plus some bonus surprises along the way. It was the perfect choice for a first day overview of Dubai’s gems. I’ve found that the city is best done by road and with someone who can fill you in on the little fascinating details. Shakeeb was full of fun facts and the extra touches he added made the tour feel tailored to me and my interests. I left knowing a lot more about Dubai, it’s customs, architecture and its beautiful people. The best part was getting a list of sights and neighborhoods I want to double-back and explore even further. A great way to fill out the rest of my stay. If you have a choice, I highly recommend this tour group!
