It was a nice experience, covered most of the important parts of dubai. The only down side is the frequency of the bus. It is kind of limited. I have done the hop-on hop-off in Barcelona and they are very frequent. Apart from that its a recommended one.

A great way to see the sites, very punctual at all the drop off and pick up sites.

Review by: shveta s	March 2012
Most of the stops are Malls.They have 2 different routes one for the city another takes you to the beaches and the islands. Both routes can be done in a day.

A very good tour - we were a bit sceptical about such things but in fact it was good value as a quick intro to Dubai. you do need to plan your journey as the buses only go in one direction so you can find you are doing a complete circuit even if you only want to get a short distance - so worth checking out the metro whihc is also superb and a cheap way of getting around.

Review by: Zameer K	March 2012
24 hour pass is not enough to complete the tour. Other wise its good.

Review by: Ann Helen P	February 2012
We recommend all to take Dubai Hop-on-Hop-off Tour when visiting Dubai. The bus drivers are clever and you feel safe in the bus. You will be able to see a lot of things and lots are included in your ticket. (trip on the river etc).

Review by: cjggreen	January 2012
Fantastic and comprehensive although a little wind-swept.

Review by: Nataliya P	January 2012
Perfect way to explore the city. But one day for 2 routes is not enough. You can extend your ticket to 48 hours.

Review by: Kathleen Rose Z	January 2012
Great way to see Dubai. You can stay as short or as long as you like without worrying about getting back to your hotel or nearest mall. Would recommend this plus the night bus tour as an inexpensive way to see Dubai.

Review by: Carol W	January 2012
The Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour enabled us to get a general feel of the Area and where places were. A good way of getting round, we found this to be good value for money.

Review by: PRAVAT KUMAR S	December 2011
Trip is nice and worth it's value. But before starting your trip always clarify the timings from the tour conductors.

Review by: Khairunisak b	December 2011
It was easy and very fast to collect our tickets from the counter. The tour was fun and comprehensive.

Review by: Monica R	November 2011
Great way to tour Dubai. Very comfortable and easy. Nice to have the headsets to give you info. along the tour. Wish the tour was longer. Get a 2 day pass IF you want to get off at several stops. But you can do both tours if you just want to "see" the tour and get off maybe one or two places that you dont stay too long at. I would not make this a "shopping" day because that will interfere with your time shopping and your time on the tour.

Review by: jayanth	November 2011
This was defnitely worth wile. Keep in mind you may not have enough time to cover all places. I'd recommend taking 2 day tour instead of 1. Very well organized, there is metro connectivity everywhere

Review by: John Q	November 2011
Great way to see Dubai for new visitors.

Review by: Alpesh	November 2011
The tour company knows that you can not finish all the spots in one day so as soon as you board or get off the bus, they try to sell you passes for 2 days. For one day, the ticket is expensive as you won[t be able to visit even half of the spots. Over all, the tour was good quality.

Review by: babcia	November 2011
This is a fantastic way to see the main features of Dubai in a short time; but far better done in 48 hours than 24. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The walking tour (including the creek crossing in an abra) was informative and essential to get closer to a real experience._br/_ The Dubai Museum (although not really my thing) holds a wealth of information and displays which can not fail to interest a visitor in some parts. Please note that water is not complimentary outside of the very hot summer months._br/_ The first bus leaves around 9am so it could be a while before it gets to your stop (if you do not get on at the beginning) as distances are deceiving on the map and traffic jams hold the bus up. _br/_ A great introduction to Dubai!

Review by: Maria Lourdes B	November 2011
good tour but not enough time to finish it completely.

Review by: John B	November 2011
would recommend that you do the day time tour. Only some buses have air conditioning up the top and it was very hot. When booking for the day we were sold the night time tour. We felt this was rather a waste and wiukd not do again. Helen B

Review by: Joos	October 2011
a Must for every new visitor to Dubai. The night tour show a complete new side off life in Dubai.

Review by: Michael H	October 2011
The hard line selling by the two women staff members at each major stop was quite rude. They were more interested in selling other things than telling people about the tour itself. I enjoyed the tour and the amazing buildings. But I would rather do the guided tour next time.

Review by: Claudia K	October 2011
Easy to book and easy to use. The tour was perfect for a one day city tour.

Review by: Paul E	October 2011
great way to see sights

great way to see sights

Review by: Graham A	October 2011
Good way of getting around to the sites in a very short time - would like to go back for a week to finish our touring opn the bus.

Review by: 2fatcorgis	September 2011
Good way to see Dubai and check out the shopping centres. Sit downstairs though the heat up top is ferocious.

Review by: Patricia J H	September 2011
This tour gave us a great overview of Dubai, Including City Scapes, Old Dubai and Beach areas with great commentary. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Review by: Dianne W	July 2011
Great if you only want to sit on the bus and get your bearings. If you want to get off at any of the stops to spend time at the major sites you are guaranteed to run out of time as the service only runs from 9am until about 5pm and just leaves you at the last stop!! Best to research first and take a taxi or shuttle bus if you can.

Review by: David S	July 2011
Fantastic way to see Dubai, good ear phones and air-conditioning. Nice clean buses too. Be careful at the Burj al Arab stop. You cannot get anywhere near it without a booking for lunch/dinner, (guards at the gate) and in July it was a very hot 10 minute walk.

Review by: Bratislava F	June 2011
These tour is the best idea, you have flexibility to see everything how you want and spent time how much you need. I recommend to book 2 days trip!!

Review by: Dani	June 2011
The best hop on hop off in the world! The water was for free!!

Review by: David Romuald D, France	June 2010
Very good

Review by: Marilyn S, United States of America	May 2010
The commentary was great. We enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend doing the Hop-on Hop-off bus.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	May 2010
This is a great tour and a very conveneint way to see areas of Dubai that you would not ordinarily see. The only down side is that the tour routes only go in one direction and if you want to especially see something that is at a stop before the one you get on, you have to go the entire route around before reaching your destination.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	April 2010
Excellent tour. Takes in most of the interesting points. We spent the day on it sightseeing.

Review by: Raymond G, Philippines	March 2010
I had a very wonderful experience with this tour. I had only a 16-hour layover in Dubai and the tour suited me very well. I was able to see the major attractions. It is really worth the money spent. Two routes, a walking tour and a dhow cruise - all in one ticket. The buses arrive at a reasonable schedule. The staff are very corteous and helpful especially the Filipinos. I just wish that the Dhow cruise vessel should be covered to shield us from the heat of the sun. Overall, it was a very good tour.

Review by: Pamela K, Australia	March 2010
A very beautiful and interesting city.

Review by: Anonymous, Saudi Arabia	February 2010
We really enjoyed our time, still I feel I am there.

Review by: Joan D, United Kingdom	February 2010
Excellent - the best way of getting an overview of Dubai before deciding which areas to investigate further. Dhow Cruise was very enjoyable.

Review by: Onkar G, Kuwait	November 2009
The best way to see Dubai in a short span of time.

Review by: David D, United Kingdom	November 2009
5 stars, especially for first time visitors.

Review by: Joseph H, United States of America	November 2009
It was an excellent tour and gave us a broad overview of Dubai in the limited amount of time we had before embarking on a cruise.

Review by: Pang N, Singapore	November 2009
Its a fantastic tour within a day. We really enjoyed the entire destination that guided by the driver and working coordinators. Keep it up with the good services.

Review by: Julie P, Australia	November 2009
An excellent way to see the city in one day. Staff pleasant, buses clean and comfortable with air conditioning. No waiting aroundand schedules adhered to even in terrible traffic.

Review by: Diane C, Australia	October 2009
Perfect for a wheelchair user. Staff were exceedingly helpful, spotlessly clean vehicles, very efficient operation and a good coverage of the sights. Free water on board. Good value for money when booked through Viator - cheaper than purchasing ticket on arrival in Dubai.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	October 2009
We would have liked to have used the red route and the dow cruise but didn't have time. The blue route was excellent.

Review by: Denis S, Australia	October 2009
They had a shuttle bus at the terminal which drove us to the Hop on Hop Off bus. The trip was fantastic and we stopped at the great shopping centre where we had lunch etc. then we got on their other bus and went up to the Palm Island structure and the big hotels wow - and the bus was air conditioned. Fantastic. Highly recommended.
