4.00TOUR GUIDES - 5 STARS; VIATOR LISTING AND COMMUNICATIONS - 1 STAR - Buyer beware, make sure you review and get confirmation from Viator for what you are signing up for. Viator listing was confusing and they were not able to sort it out before the tour. Ahmed was originally supposed to be our tour guide but at the last minute they switched and Subhan was our guide. Subhan, however, was very nice and was excellent in his knowledge of Dubai and all the sights, and Ahmed followed up with us at the end of the tour. The positive thing about our tour was that we were able to see a lot in our 8 hour tour and they tailored the tour to what we most wanted to see (in Dubai if you have a 4 hour or 8 hour tour really need to decide what you most want to see since won't have time to see everything in depth). The main confusion was the Viator writeup and the price for the Burj Khalifa tickets; I had reached out to Viator for clarification before the tour but it was not sorted out ahead of time which led to confusion on the day of the tour. Also, we had originally been booked on an entirely different tour but found out that they could not pick us up at the hotel even though the Viator listing definitely had confirmed that pick up was possible when I booked it (I had a screen shot that showed it); again another problem with Viator listing. Overall not a good travel day/experience; 1 star for Viator.
