Dubai Tour Including Entrance to Burj Khalifa 124th Floor from Abu Dhabi

Could have been a lovely experience but it was far too rushed and our tour guide was in a rush to finish for the day walking off from the group. We had no time to enjoy the sights of dubai, malls or burj. There was a number of photostops which were limited to less than 5 mins! Experience ruined!!!

The trip from Abu Dhabi to Dubai for the day was good. Pickup was spot on time, driver very quietly spoken and efficient. Obviously the trip was based around a visit to 124th floor of Burj Khalifa and didn't disappoint. Lunch in the Mall was excellent as well as seved quickly. Time spent at the carpet factory was not needed and could have been left out. Items produced at places like this do not really fit into Western homes. More time maybe in the spice souk - at least a walk through instead of just the gold souk. The abra ride even though short was good. Local guide was worthwhile and informative. It is 9 years since I have been to Dubai and the changes are huge - even the Burj Khalifa wasn't finished back then. The trip covered a good amount of territory that I have previously been to years ago so I could compare the differences. Recommended as a day trip.

The tour was an amazing experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The driver was very welcoming and friendly, we had other people in our tour group couples from Argentina and a couple from Korea. Everyone was very friendly and considerate. The tour guide was called Mustafa and was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain all the activities for the day and explain the history of old and new UAE. He spoke several languages- Spanish, English and Arabic which was a definite advantage. As promised we went through all the activities on the itinerary throughout the day. My 10 year old son created a very close bond with Mustafa and he was very child friendly and included him in all the activities. The museum showed a good collection of traditional items and how items are made. The Burj Khalifa was an incredible experience for my son and he learnt a great deal, the water taxi ride was very nostalgic and the souks and spice bazaar took you back into time! The lunch at the hotel was lovely, the beach and mosque at Palm Jumeirah was brilliant to see. As the weather was very hot we didn't get to spend too much time everywhere and it would be nice to have had more time at the beach. The recommendations I would make - The minibus should have water available for passengers as we were in and out of the bus. - More time is needed to explore the areas in depth, we would have liked more time at the beach, Burj Khalifa and the souks. - The tour should go into the evening so that the lights and fountains at the bottom of Burj Khalifa could be viewed. - As a Muslim I would have liked to pray in the mosque but we were pushed for time so couldn't go inside. - The lunch was good for the adults but exceptions should be made for children as they are fussy chips/pizza etc. Overall, it was an outstanding experience and I would recommend this tour for anyone who is visting the UAE for the first time, it gives you a close and in depth understanding of the country, its people, the famous landmarks and the friendly collection and drop off service is an added bonus. I would like to show my sincere gratitude to Mustafa for being an exceptional person and helping us, the driver for his great hospitality and service. Insha'Allah hope to visit again soon.

There was a situation when the driver pick us up at our Hotel, we arrive to the Museum and we discover that the Driver pick us up and it was not our Tour so we took the place of other guests staying at the same Hotel as we. The Tour Guy was really helpful on talking to the other Company and explaining them the situation so we were able to stay with him. He was really good on his explanation and the knowledge of the area and he was very helpful on taking us with the other Company so we can have our lunch that was not part of his tour as well as the entrance to Burj Khalifa.

Could have been perfect trip but they forgot to pick us up! Sat in hotel lounge as advised from 7am only after the hotel contacting company did they finally arrived at 9am. Passengers said we had been forgotten turned back for us. trip was rushed with 45min in largest mall in world. So disappointed

Well the travel from Abu Dhabi to Dubai was very good, but the driver kept on telling us that he fired the tour guide and hopping to hire new one, to our surprise hen we arrived in Dubai the tour started very good, but during the day it went bad, the tour guide left us in a shopping mall for a long time, and we missed two visits from the promised itinerary and on top of that when the tour finished he just left without even saying a word, so we can see the conflict between the driver and the tour guide all the time.

The Guide was exceptional. He really looked after his group. I would go again.

Supposed to be an English speaking tour guide. Moesen tried but his English and talking speed made this VERY hard to understand. Tour does NOT even include a bottle of water---even though others had it listed on their confirmations. Our guide had to wait just like the general public in a long line at the Burd Kalifa---- no priority at all. Guide was non stop talking and never taking questions. Lots of walking involved also as the bus driver did not know where to park. He made several wrong turns and even pulled into the wrong hotels to pick up non-existent passengers! Not happy at all.

Good guides.a little pricey.couldve done a little more in Dubai.

Liked this tour a lot. Dubai very busy and Kalhifa tower full of pushing people who want to take selfies. Guide excellent and very knowledgeable. Didn't really need to see a ski slope so didn't!
