I always use the tourist buses in the countries I visit. It's an easy way to get to know the city. I can stop and get back on the bus whenever I want. Although the ticket was the most expensive I've ever paid, it was well worth it, as the cruise was included. I highly recommend it!

***Excellent contact with Alexander at the Dubai Mall departure who was able to help us and direct us to the right bus. Very welcoming, friendly and engaging. ** The boat trip on the Creek was very pleasant, and the pizza drink was a plus at lunchtime. Mercir One regret: bus timetables are not always respected and, above all, stop locations are not marked. It's a real shame

Dear Sirs, my experience with BigBus in Dubai was excellent mainly because of the Driver that helped us a lot. Mr. RAM is someone very special, awesome human being. As experienced and frequent traveller, i can say that i will continue to visit every city with BigBus because of him, Mr. RAM. I would also like to emphasize the care of Mrs. Stacey. She was also very helpful with us. Please share this with BigBus managers in Dubai. Best regards, Nuno
