Well worth doing, especially if you only have a day or two to see Dubai. We did both the Red and Blue tours, both were good and informative. The only disappointment is that there is no way you can see everything in one day - it's a shame the buses stop running at 5pm.

We don't think there could be a better way to acquaint yourself with all the 'must-sees' in Dubai. The November weather was ideal for sitting on top of the bus and watching it all go by. The only hassles we had were trying to juggle fitting everything in around the bus times which we didn't as the dhow cruise only goes four times a day, and actually finding the bus stop initially. The museum is well worth the time to visit. If you had the option of choosing more or less hours, I think it would suit more people, as we would have loved extra time yet met people whose time in Dubai didn't make it worth while to buy, yet would have liked a few hours. I think we'd do if again if ever we're lucky enough to revisit Dubai.

Has two very interesting routes, but doing both in one day depends on the volume of traffic in Dubai. Though, amazingly, the buses stick pretty closely to their 20-minute interval schedules. Connecting with the 1-hour boat trip on the Creek can be tricky - and there's a long, hot walk from the drop-off point to the boat. But overall, the tours, especially the Blue Beach route, were very interesting.

We chose the Hop-on Hop-off Tour for our first day in Dubai. Its a must. Great!! But start as early as you can. If you want to take the walk-tour and the boat-tour that is included.

The bus trip was great, and the museum was well worth visiting, especially as it was free! The dhow trip was lovely, but as we took the last boat trip, it was virtually impossible to get back to our hotel as all taxis were booked out - it took over an hour before we could get one.

First-class trip, efficiently run and organised. Would have wished driver to stop at a few of the more photograph-worthy sites, but obviously would not be easy due to the road traffic. Staff charming and helpful.

Went on the blue and red bus, great way to see around the place and get a feel for where you are and what you want to go back and see more of. Very interesting city.

On the days I was there, a sandstorm was blowing and it was very hot. The bus was air-conditioned, which was wonderful. Definitely worth the money, which allowed 2 tours and a trip on a dhow. Can recommend it.

A good way to see the highlights of Dubai. Plenty of water for hot, thirsty days. Good and consistent information from staff. Only criticism is that bus stops could be better signed.

Great tour. Covers most of the interesting spots. Free water on board which is most welcome in the hot Dubai. One remark though, there are no signs at the stops of the bus, so initially it is very hard to find a bus. Nevertheless once found it is worth its money.

Easy to do.

This was definitely worth doing & very convenient as it covers a number of places. As I had only just one day of stay, this sure helped to see a lot of places with the tight time lines. The guides were informative & very helpful.

This place is hot! To be able to get on and off the bus frequently was great, and we saw all we needed to.

Great value and a great opportunity if you have a tight itinerary. Interesting facts and figures from guide made it a great day.

We had a great time, doing both the routes and then the following day taking the trip around the creek. We were only there for 2 days and this trip was a great introduction to Dubai.
