The drivers were excellent. - and obliging at all times. The trip was huge and I recommend spreading over a couple of days. We were able to do both routes, but not the dhouw cruise as no time left. So much history , detail - of both the old and new town- great. Thank you

Did both the red & blue lines around Dubai in one day. Didn’t get off anywhere as didn’t really have time but saw a lot of the sites & got a feel for the different areas. The guided tour (via headphones) gave lots of information & interesting facts.

The buses are always on time as per the listed schedule. We bought the five days, which is not very much more than the 24hr or 48hr and comes with great additions. We never had any issues and the drivers are very helpful. It is very easy getting on and off. Best way to see most of Dubai.

Zahid was a fantastic driver and gave us directions to dhow cruise so highly recommend. Really good day and nice driver.

Not possible to get on and off at many stops in a day, if you want to do both blue and red routes, and the boat trip. However it gave a good overall insight to places to visit and size of the city, and general layout of the area. I would recommend a separate visit in order to visit specific places, ie Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, aquarium etc

Hard to get route information. Discovery has two routes - red & blue. Took us 7 hours to do both because routes not align and there so much waiting time and then afternoon traffic.
