Traveler reviews
Traffic jam nightmare......very disappointed
We purchased the twin city ticket which was not cheap by any means....approx £240!! In Abu Dhabi we didn't have too bad an experience and it was interesting to see the town and mosque. We had to wait 40 minutes for the bus back to the ship. This is one thing to keep in mind when on a cruise. Getting back for departure is essential as the ship won't wait!! In Dubai the experience was not as good. We spent a lot of time waiting on the bus and were on the bus for the best part of three hours and were only at the marina.....sat stuck in traffic....and that is the problem .....there is soooo much traffic that you can't get anywhere quickly. It is a romantic notion of being able to hop on and hop off.....there is just no chance of it!! We ended up getting off the bus and catching the metro which is so cheap, slick and easy. Think carefully before spending so much money. I don't like leaving poor reviews but when we think back about our holiday this was the worst part of it and we wasted a lot of time just sitting in traffic when there was so much else that we wanted to do during our short visit to the city.
Extremely good tours
Simply highly recommended. The staff very reliable and helpful. They tried hard, partly led us to special tips, and organized a lot. We had daa 5 days ticket with many additional offers.... The driver Kareem and the Banica were very dear people to us. Gladly again
Must do in Dubai
Was a good tour, you saw a lot and got a good impression. Raja was a very good driver and could give good tips
Dubai and Abu Dhabi tours
We were in the UAE for a holiday as a family. We toured around the two cities of Dubai and Abu dhabi using the Big Bus 5 Day package. Had a wonderful and pleasant tour. We were driven to Abu Dhabi in a mini bus by tour bus operator Raja was very helpful especially in explaining where to from each point and assisting giving directions to amenities.
Dubai Bus tours.
Hello, We were greeted by a gentleman named Michael, he was so helpful and knowledgeable about our Blue and Red line bus tours while in Dubai. We had 30 minutes to wait till our tour, being so hot he sat us in a bus with the air con going that was departing just before ours, thanks Michael.
