The tour was fantastic, having detailed introductions on route helped us learn a lot of stories behind the buildings and scenes. The aquariums, desert sunset, and river tours are very well-designed highlights. It's a must to experience the hop-on-hop-off for us short-term first-time tourists.

I always use the tourist buses in the countries I visit. It's an easy way to get to know the city. I can stop and get back on the bus whenever I want. Although the ticket was the most expensive I've ever paid, it was well worth it, as the cruise was included. I highly recommend it!

***Excellent contact with Alexander at the Dubai Mall departure who was able to help us and direct us to the right bus. Very welcoming, friendly and engaging. ** The boat trip on the Creek was very pleasant, and the pizza drink was a plus at lunchtime. Mercir One regret: bus timetables are not always respected and, above all, stop locations are not marked. It's a real shame
