We received an email the evening before at our hotel which was delivered to our room. It requested that we would be collected at 8:00. The driver came on time and we were shuttled by Jeep to a large, clean air conditioned coach with many other passengers. The tour was very good - and yes there was a pit stop at the antiques / art gallery to see beautiful carpets. I found no pressure to buy anything as the prices ranged from £100s - £1000s. It was also an opportunity to visit the washroom. Our guide did an excellent job as there was a wide range of ages and walking difficulties. I wouldn't recommend if you have trouble walking as you do have to move quite quickly. The ride across the creek in the abra boat was wonderful but I wish I could've spent more time exploring the souk. After visiting the Burj between 2-2:30, we ended our tour at the Dubai Mall. We ate lunch , saw the ice rink, waterfall and aquarium and waited until 6pm to see the dancing fountains

Trip was great. Tour guide was friendly. However due to covid mesueum was closed and it was noy mentioned in the trip before. The trip details said entry ticket to meuseum which wasnt provided and no alternative was given either. For example some refund or visit to some other place instead. Overall good experience but i beleive its over priced

It was pretty good and we had a good guide. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the tour was expected to start at 9 am and we sat waiting in the bus until 9.40 am, which was disappointing; the tour itself was very good and I would recommend it.
