So much included in the tour. We couldn't fit in the boat trip in the 24 hours and were allowed to take it the next day. I believe the tour operators will allow this boat trip to be taken any time within a month of validation.

This tour is a must. We took both routes, and the combination provided a great opportunity to see the recent developments in Dubai. Plan to take the whole day with a number of stop offs at places of particular interest, as well as one of the large shopping malls.

A good idea on the first day, although don't expect to be able to hop-off at more than a couple of places and still make all the stops on both the city and beach routes.

Saw everything we wanted to. Guides were very good and we had plenty of time to hop off and do stuff.

Great way to see all parts of Dubai at your own pace! Friendly staff and it shows you everything from The Burj Al Arab, Mall of the Emirates, Gold and Spice Souks, Medinat Jumeirah, Dubai Museum, little India and the Burj Dubai! Just fantastic!

This is a great and fun way to get to know Dubai and get your bearings before heading out alone!

Brilliant. Excellent way to spend the first day in Dubai, although beware bus only runs from around 10am-5pm.

The hop on hop off bus is an easy, interesting and relative cheap way how to see all the sights in Dubai including the Dubai Museum from the top of the double decker with the possibility to hop off at any stop for taking pictures and after 30 min hop on again at the same or next stop. I would recommend to take part in the beach tour, but definitely in the Dhow Cruise, which is about an hour boat trip that gives you an amazing view of the city center.

I was absolutely thrilled that I booked this tour. It was easy to find where to catch the bus. You have to catch the one that has part of the top air conditioned in summer, as it is very hot otherwise. I think this one left on the half hour. I found the staff really friendly, informative, and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to be able to feel free to jump off and on when needing to. I will do this again when I return to Dubai in the future.

We had a great time. The staff were very knowledgeable and smiled loads, that made us feel that they cared about what they were doing. Everything was explained properly and they made sure we knew where we were and what options we had. The tour was extensive and flexible so much so we only had time to do part of it. When we go back it will be the first thing we will do again. p.s. The guides spoke good English. One small criticism was that the bus we were on was only air conditioned on the top deck cabin. Downstairs was like an oven which at one point we were in as the top deck was full.

The enthusiasm shown by the employees on this tour was second to none and their local knowledge was outstanding. It was a little hot but there was a nice breeze when we stopped at the beach.

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.
