4Great itinerary with very informative commentary. The beach was a nice touch, and Marjan Gallery had some lovely items. I would’ve liked a little more time at the mosque stop, but everything else was great.

5From start to finish, this was a perfectly planned day trip. The pace was relaxing, the views were stunning, and the transportation was top-notch. I appreciated the extra time at Dubai Mall – the fountain show was a great finale. The drop-off back in Abu Dhabi made it extremely convenient for us. Would definitely take more tours like this!

5This tour is perfect if you’re based in Abu Dhabi and want a full day of exploring Dubai. Each stop was beautiful, particularly Jumeirah Beach and the views at Zabeel Palace. I also enjoyed the cultural touch at Marjan Gallery. The guide was friendly and spoke multiple languages which was helpful for the diverse group. Would absolutely recommend this to friends visiting the UAE.

5This tour was absolutely worth every penny. From the moment we left the meeting point, everything was smooth. The Atlantis photo stop felt like a postcard, and I loved the vibe at Jumeirah Beach. What really made it special was the attention to timing and the friendly guide. We never felt rushed, yet we saw so much. Dubai Mall was a perfect way to end the day, and the drop-off back in Abu Dhabi saved us a lot of hassle. I’d do it again without hesitation!

5This was a fantastic tour – covered all the highlights and left us wanting to come back for more. From the beach views to the luxury of Dubai Mall, it was all very memorable. Our group was small, and the guide gave us enough free time at every stop. The logistics were smooth from pickup to drop-off in Abu Dhabi.

Kim Boom
5A great introduction to Dubai! It was my first time in the UAE, and this tour covered everything I wanted to see. Atlantis, Jumeirah Beach, and Dubai Mall were amazing. I wish we had a short stop at the Gold Souq, but the drive-by gave us a nice glimpse. Great job to the organizers.
Aarav Mehta
5This was one of the most seamless and enjoyable day tours I’ve ever taken! The itinerary was packed with iconic landmarks like Atlantis and Jumeirah Beach, yet it didn’t feel rushed at all. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, especially during the stop at the Jumeirah Mosque where he shared cultural insights. The visit to Marjan Gallery was a beautiful surprise – a quiet gem with lovely artworks. We enjoyed the scenic drive past the Gold Souq and took some great photos at Zabeel Palace. Ending the day with shopping and dining at Dubai Mall and then being dropped off right in Abu Dhabi was so convenient. Highly recommend this experience!
Haruto Mori
5This was a well-paced tour with an excellent selection of stops. I particularly enjoyed the photo opportunities at Atlantis and Zabeel Palace. The Marjan Gallery was a refreshing cultural experience, and our guide shared interesting stories about the sites. Dubai Mall was bustling, but having three hours there gave us time to enjoy a meal and shop. My only small suggestion would be to offer a bit more time at the beach. Otherwise, fantastic day out.
Ruwan Jayasuriya
5Really enjoyable trip! Our guide was engaging and made sure everyone was comfortable. The only suggestion would be a longer stop at the beach for a quick walk. Otherwise, top-notch service.

4The places we visited were excellent, but the heat in August made it hard to fully enjoy the outdoor stops. The air-conditioned bus helped, and Dubai Mall was a welcome relief. A cooler season would be better.
Elise Carter
4Good tour overall, though it felt a little rushed in the morning. Atlantis and Jumeirah Beach were lovely, but I would’ve liked a few extra minutes at the mosque. Still, a worthwhile experience.
