This was a great little tour of Dubai. The guide spoke good English and the automated commentary was good albeit a little dated. It took in all the sights we wanted to see and was just enough in the half day tour. Very cost effective as well at £75 for 4 adults.

The tour was amazing, Kumar was a great travel guide. With this being my first time in Dubai, I was told this was something I needed to try. After going on the tour I leaned a lot about the history and culture, Kumar answered any questions I had and was there to assist with anything that me or my friends needed during the tour.

The service was excellent, the guide was kind and very good, and the audio guide well synchronized with the itinerary. But the activities timing need to be improved. We spent only 10 minutes walking in the gold market. Not enough to buy something. This was due to some passengers who were not returning to the bus on time after a stop. And we had to spend a lot of time waiting for them.
