A great afternoon

Our guide, Annie picked us up from our hotel on time and during our drive gave us a lot of information about Dubai and it's history. This tour gave us the opportunity to enjoy some of Dubai's top tourist spots in just 4 hours. Seeing the fountains of Burj Khalifa during our final night in Dubai was a highlight.

Super value for the price. Recommended.

Unfortunately the whole thing began with an hour long delay. After the first 45 minutes of pointless waiting in the hotel lobby, we got a call saying that it would still take a moment because of traffic. After that everything was good. A very nice tour guide gave us a lot of information during the ride about individual points. Absolutely recommended to get an overview of Dubai.

top class!!

The guide was excellent and I would say - an absolute "must". In contrast to "German" guides in which the guide speaks only broken German, this tourwas guided by a very nice, friendly and competent young lady from Germany. She answered all our questions in detail, and we really got to know Dubai. We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel punctually . I highly recommend this tour and in future will use this as a comparison against other tours.
