The tour guide was excellent and overall a good tour. The tour is done in a coach bus, not an open top bus so not easy to see the sights.

Cracking little trip
Johnny_Boy
, Feb 2020
Started off a little slow with shuttle buses meeting up with the main coach but once it got going it proved to be well organised. In fact it was a cracking little trip with lots of interesting facts thrown in by the tour guide. Apologies I can’t remember his name but he was Serbian. He was very pleasant and his language skills second to none. We visited the Jumeirah Mosque, the Dubai museum which were both enjoyable. Then we crossed the creek on a traditional boat and visited the Souk. Probably robbed blind by the traders but an enjoyable experience. I find the UAE very safe with everyone respectful. Got back to the hotel in JBR a little later than expected but this couldn’t be helped as the traffic is horrendous. All in all it was great value, well run and everyone of the staff were pleasant and helpful. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wanted an interesting afternoon learning a few facts about the country you are visiting.

Pleasant half day tour

This is a good half day tour to get your bearings around Dubai and also some history about the city. My one criticism is that the sound system on the coach wasn't very good and we couldn't always hear the commentary.

Just a buying tour

The tour guide gave a some information about the city but it felt like all they really did was take us around to places that they are affiliated with and encourage us to by things

Dear Vaness, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about our Dubai City Tour that you have recently joined with us. We apologize for not having fully met your expectations. Please note that the excursion was conducted as per our tour description. We are very strict that none of our tourist guides visits any "affiliated place" as you mention in your review. It is correct that we visit the spice souq as an example but our guide will approach a random shop where he/she can explain the offered spices and their use. Afterwards all guests have free time to walk around and purchase if they want at whichever shop they would like to. We have frequent mystery shopping/spot checks in place to ensure this is followed by all our team members. We regret that you still felt that the tour is a shopping tour. We would like to see you joining one of our tours/safaris soon again! Thank you for choosing ORIENT TOURS and taking the time to review us! Best Regards, Sarah P. Dubke Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC
