Tour was great. Dinner at the Georgia Armani seafood buffet was fantastic with great view of the dancing fountains. The tour would have been perfect if we didn’t have to wait an hour to get to the observation level of the Burj Khalifa

Unfortunately our itinerary was changed due to situations . Whilst having cruised on the ship before we were a little disappointed at how tired the ship appeared in the cabins and bathroom. Staff were very obliging in the restaurants, bars and cabins But the organisation at the pier was something to be desired , also when we docked in some locations we were asked to pay for shuttle buses which did not seem fair .

I had the most amazing Time in Dubai this past December with family and friends. This travel agency was hands down the best I’ve ever had. From the pick up at the DBX airport to the return 7days later it was full of excitement. We started off with the Dubai City Tour, we had private tours at the Dubai Museum and had fun shopping at the Souq markets. The next day was jam packed with the most adrenaline filled desert safari with a bbq dinner and show. Then we toured the Burj Khalifa in the 104th floor, Best sights in Dubai are here at the top. That evening we had dinner at Tribes Restaurant at the fountains, the food was really good and the fountain show was awesome. Next Day was Global Village experience, which was a really cool place for shows, shopping, food and rides. 5 hrs go by so fast at Global Village. That evening we went to Dinner in the Sky for dinner. All I can say is that it is a must-do, the vibe and good food was the best. The Next day we had a yacht party to celebrate my brother’s birthday and once again Surprise Tourism handled it all. Everything was so fun and well put together. From the events, tours and dinners everything was nonstop fun and they made sure we had the best experience. They also made sure we were always on time for our tours and events. I planned to go back one day soon and will definitely use them to organize my trip.

My tour (with guide Shakeeb) was absolutely fantastic! We hit all of the must-see stops and sights, plus some bonus surprises along the way. It was the perfect choice for a first day overview of Dubai’s gems. I’ve found that the city is best done by road and with someone who can fill you in on the little fascinating details. Shakeeb was full of fun facts and the extra touches he added made the tour feel tailored to me and my interests. I left knowing a lot more about Dubai, it’s customs, architecture and its beautiful people. The best part was getting a list of sights and neighborhoods I want to double-back and explore even further. A great way to fill out the rest of my stay. If you have a choice, I highly recommend this tour group!

It wasn't terrible and it certainly wasnt great. We were picked up at our hotel about twenty minutes late in a Gray Lines minibus. Driver only; guide service was provided by headphones and a canned narrative often a bit out of sync from where we were at the time. Although it was booked as an English tour, we were the only people on the bus who spoke English. The other languages were handled as was English by the multilingual headphones. The driver spoke a very fractured English which was hard to understand and none of the other languages so I frequently had to translate the driver's comment as to where he would meet us and how long we could spend at a given site. The tour itself was comprehensive and covered a reasonable amount of sites with adequate time per site. Lunch was not included and not even water, which was a first for any tour I had been on. However the driver did stop at a supermarket in the morning so people could buy water or soft drinks. I noted that we frequently parked a substantial distance from sites involving long walks while other tour busses seemed to be able to park much closer. The extreme example came when we went to ascend the tallest skyscraper in the world Burj Khalifa. I noted that other tour guides either accompanied their groups to the top or at least arranged to meet them at the base of the elevators after the ascent. Not this group. The driver raced with other members of the group way ahead of us leaving my wife, who uses a cane and myself way behind, concerned we would lose sight of him as he navigated through a complicated and crowded Dubai Mall to reach the elevators to the top. We finally caught up, the driver gave us the tickets and we rode to the top on our own. However he said he would meet us back at the tour van, about 2 km away back thru the geographically complicated largest mall in the world. We asked security guards to direct us back to the right parking lot. The guards all expressed amazement that the guide had not stayed to escort us back as apparently everyone else did. With considerable difficulty we made it back to the van exactly at the appointed time only to find it locked and no driver in sight. Twenty minutes later he showed up with no apology anf the tour continued. At the end of the day, though we were only a few minutes from our hotel, he refused to drop us off there and said we needed to get a taxi to go back to the hotel. Indeed he stated he was being tracked by the tour company on GPS and would be penalized if he returned us to where we started. Otherwise he would take us back to the Dubai Mall, a half hour's drive away. You can probably do better than this tour to see Dubai.
