For a half day tour, it...

STELLA_M, Nov 2023

For a half day tour, it was all very nice to see! I had my mother with me who was 74 years old and she didn't got tired. I recommend it for senior citizens.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Stella, That's wonderful to hear that the half-day tour was enjoyable and manageable, especially for your mother at 74 years old. It's fantastic when tours accommodate different age groups and energy levels, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for recommending it for senior citizens—ensuring such experiences are comfortable and enjoyable for all ages is truly valuable.

Go with Viator NOT GETYOURGUIDE!!!

Patricia_G, Nov 2023

The tour guide was very good at explaining the itinerary and sticking with the time limitations. I would suggest that he slow down a little when he walks. I am almost 70 and I had a very hard time trying to keep pace in that desert heat. At some point I thought I would faint. Secondly, he shoukd have given us our tickets as soon as we got into the Burj Khalif. I don't think we shoukd have had to wait while he took 1/2 the group to the bathroom. The lines were exasperating but once up at the top, the views were breathtaking.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Patricia, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I apologize for the discomfort caused by the pace in the desert heat. Your feedback is crucial, and we'll address this issue to ensure a more accommodating pace for all participants, especially in demanding conditions. Regarding the ticketing process at Burj Khalifa, we'll reevaluate our procedures to streamline the experience for our guests. I'm thrilled to hear you found the views breathtaking once at the top. We appreciate your insights, and we're committed to enhancing our tours for a more enjoyable experience for all.

Dubai Visit

Shailen_K, Oct 2023

It is great tour to see Dubai in half day and appreciate how amazing Dubai is. Old Dubai and New Dubai. Amazing Burj Khalifa.

Dear Shailen, I'm delighted to hear that you had a great experience exploring both the old and new sides of Dubai during your half-day tour. Dubai indeed offers a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity, and iconic landmarks like the Burj Khalifa add to its allure. If you have any more questions or need further recommendations for your future travels, feel free to ask. Here's to more amazing adventures in Dubai and beyond!

Just a bunch of shopping stops....

Allison_S, Sep 2023

This trip was a waste of time and money. The only part I enjoyed was the Burj Khalifa which I could have done on my own. Otherwise, each stop just consisted of our tour guide telling us to walk around and shop. On the bus our guide had nothing to say and just told us to plug in headphones like we were on a cheap hop-on-off bus. And top it off, they never picked me up so I waited for almost 2 hours in my hotel lobby for eventually someone to grab me and drop me off with the rest of the group and missed the first stop.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Allison, we deeply regret to hear about your disappointing experience on our tour. Your feedback is invaluable, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the pick-up and missed the first stop. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We take your concerns seriously and will be addressing them internally to ensure improvements. Our goal is to offer enriching experiences, and we are committed to enhancing the quality of our tours. We appreciate your honesty and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to show you a more enjoyable time.

Had better

Dominic_M, Jun 2023

This was one of the worst tours we have ever been on. The half day tour was rushed because the bus was nearly 1 hour late. The tour guide did his best but always seemed to be rushing us from one stop to the next.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Dominic, Thank you for your honest feedback we do really apologize for the inconvenience especially to the driver, and we will address this issue as soon as possible so that we can give all the customers wonderful experience on the tour. Thank you and be safe.

A great way to see the sights of Dubai.

LeanneRhodes, May 2023

Such a great way to see the sights of Dubai. Our guide was amazing, knowledgeable and a lovely person to spend time with. I would recommend to anyone thinking of using your company.

Opened My Eyes…!

CLEMENT_T, May 2023

The tour was well-organized. My eyes were full…! The Islamic Craft visit was odd to me, and the pressure to buy was uncomfortable. The Spice Market was intense, and I was basically swindled when buying spices, but that’s my fault. The Burj Kalife was amazing, but the lines and crowds were extremely frustrating. Again, not your fault.

We had a great time...

jarenaCampbell, Apr 2023

We had a great time everything was well planned out. Samuel made sure that everyone understood the tour was informative I would recommend.

Meh

PalakPriyanka_D, Mar 2023

The idea was nice but our tour guide had no personality, was very standoffs. Didn't even check that we were all following him during the walking tour. The art stop was BS, just a giant sales pitch. Sort of disappointing.

Not great

Frank_C, Feb 2023

Not a fan of Gray line.... because of late pick up and others not there did not pick up tour until first stop...a lot of waiting around...

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Customer, Thank you for your honest feedback we do really apologize for what happened, I know it was very inconvenient on your end frank however we will raise this issue about the late pick up and won't happen again, perhaps we will do our best to give you a better tour experience. If you have any suggestion and concerns feel free to leave a comment below and we are happy to serve you, Thank you and be safe.

Awesome

SHARON_L, Feb 2023

We love the time we got to spend at each attraction and that it's wasn't just sitting in a bus. Everyone was awesome.

Great Tour

Judith_H, Feb 2023

Everything was great we wnjoyed the guide and the sightseeing The best views in Dubai and the Souk was great

Not as advertised. Overpromised and under delivered

Robert_O, Jan 2023

This trip was NOT as advertised. We bought a half-day, 4-stop tour. The stops were supposed to be the Museum, Burj Khalifa, Spice Market, and Mosque. Well, the Burj was good, and the spice market was great, but we did NOT go to the museum or inside a mosque as promised in the marketing materials. Instead, we were taken to a store that presented itself as an art boutique to show "priceless artifacts". This "store" was instead a high-pressure sales tactic to get us to buy rugs and such. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. Then there was a neighborhood average mosque across the street which we were encouraged to take pics of some 200 feet away. Asked why we weren't going into a mosque as promised, they simply said we can't. Hmmm. Very disappointing. We heard that the museum was closed over COVID but has been reopening for quite a while. Apparently, tickets are hard to get. You would think a tour operator knows this and can easily plan ahead. Instead, nothing was communicated to us that half of our trip did not exist. Our guide also rushed us to/from every stop. If it weren't for the nice new friends we met on the tour, we would have written this off as a total loss. I would NOT recommend this. Save your money.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Customer, Thank you for your honest feedback we do really apologize for the inconvenience if we didn't meet you expectation on the tour, and we will address this issue as soon as possible so that we can give all the customers wonderful tour experience . Thank you and be safe.

The tour was at most...

Ronald_B, Dec 2022

The tour was at most average We were taken to a man’s store who tried to sell carpets when we would have rather done something else No one paid for the tour to spend 45 minutes trying to be sold carpets We felt like we were being scammed

Great trip to the Burj Khalifa

FannieM_B, Dec 2022

Looking out over the city from up so high...beautiful. The Mall is so big we got lost. So many thing to see and do in the Mall as well.

A good jam packed sightseeing experience

Sean_C, Dec 2022

We were picked up from our hotel on time , taken to a central meeting point where we boarded the main coach. From there is was a whistle stop tour of a few prominent landmarks in dubai. Each one being around 10-15 minutes, which is just enough to take a few pictures and soak up the sights . The river creek ferry ride i enjoyed along with a trip to the gold souks however we would of loved a good couple of hours there. From there it was to the burj Khalifa where we were given pur tickets then left to explore the landmark in all its glory. Our tour guide was very friendy, helpful and well organised For a half day tour we finished around 3pm so have a good breakfast as you dont really get chance to get any food or snacks Overall tho a good sightseeing experience

A good way to see the city and hear the history

Robert_N, Nov 2022

This was a good and easy way to see lots of the city and to hear a good history of the region and the city. The stops were fun and easy to get on and off and experience a little of the rich culture. We enjoyed our guide and getting to see a combo of old and new parts of Dubai. The views from the Burj K were pretty amazing too but there were some long lines. The cultural museum stop was a little “salesy” and we didn’t enter the Jumeriah mosque or the Burj Arab but we got to take pictures of them.

Stunning architecture

Lynne_L, Nov 2022

The buildings in Dubai are stunning and the Burj Jumeirah was the perfect place to begin the tour. Our driver was excellent and the end point at the Burj Kalifa and Dubai Mall was amazing.

Average

Farid_M, Oct 2022

Nothing exceptionally memorable. We visited two shops and looked at some places from the outside! It was more of bus transportation between places rather than a tour.

Recommend

Hakob_H, Oct 2022

Sure Burj Khalifa is the most memorable experience. However the art gallery was memorable as well. In general I rated 4 out of 5.
