General drive around the city. Good information from the guide. Only two stops of short duration. Could have been a lot better!

This was an unbelievable way to spend the last days of our holiday. The Desert Safari was fantastic and highly recommend it a definite must do.
The city sightseeing was very informative and gives you an insight to old Dubai and makes you want to explore this part by yourself.
Both are well worth the money.

We had a nice time. I wish we could have gotten closer to the Burj Al Arab. Personally, taking photos of the outside of the city mosque was unnecessary. The Dubai museum was interesting, but I'd have preferred to have more time shopping at the Gold Souk.

We enjoyed seeing the museum and getting a taste of Dubai City. On the down side, we expected a 4 hr trip and it was in fact more like 6 hrs this should be explained because of pickups from hotels. The commentary didn't give much information, particularly on history.

It was not worth the trip at all-too much time at the gold souk and not even a lookover atlantis-the palms, burj khalifa-very disappointing half a day!

Tour was just waste of time and money. Combined German speaking and English speaking tours. Tour was managed by a single tour guide who was suppose to speak German and English. Tour guide was from India or Shri-Lanka. I cannot tell anything about his Geman skills but his English was very poor. Guide was visibly stressed by this situation. Competion for guide's attention between two language groups did not help the situation neither. There were more German speakers and guide was visibly favoring that group of visitors (perhaps, his German was better too). Tour was absolutely not worth any time. I don't think Viator has any idea or is able to control quality of it's tours. It might be better going with local company.

Wack. We could only take pics from inside the bus as it only has three stops. One at mosque and souks.

We loved this combined tour! The tour company were bang on time for the pick ups and seemed organised. The city sightseeing tour was idea for our first day in Dubai on our first visit to the city. It helped us to see quite a number of places and get our bearings. The Desert Safari was great fun. Yes, it is for tourists but that's exactly what we were and we could not have done it otherwise at such a reasonable price. We laughed with glee as we were driven over the dunes. (If car sickness can be a problem for you, I advise taking anti-sickness medication; it's not horrific but it could be quite unpleasant if you suffer from this. Also if you have a severe neck problem, it probably isn't the right tour for you as you are jolted around somewhat.) Great fun, very skilled drivers (they have to hold an additional, separate licence for this activity) and we had a ball. We loved the camp and the various activities there; little camel ride etc. The barbecue was delicious (chicken, lamb chops, salad, pitta, houmous etc) and we felt it was a lovely way to spend an evening, belly dancer and all. Highly recommended if you like to have fun and don't mind being in a convoy (it added to the entertainment watching the other vehicles making their way over the dunes). Many thanks for both these tours.

The tours were organised well. We were picked up on time from our hotel and the desert safari guide was extremely good.
