5.00It all worked very smoothly from collection from ship to our tour around Dubai. Our driver was very informative and made sure the trip went without a hitch. Burj Khalifa went smoothly with no real waiting time to ascend the tower.

1.00Where do I begin? First off my fiancé and I took a 13 hour flight from New York to Dubai and decided to do this evening tour with this company. Our tour guide and driver Hafiz Shehzad which I would not recommend he was extremely an aggressive driver, which caused my fiancé to get motion sickness in the backseat lucky for us. We had nauseous medication with us. Hafiz Shehzad pick us up from our hotel and took us straight to the spice market. Me personally I felt that it was a set up and that Hafiz Shehzad brought us to a specific store where he knew the individual and next thing you know Hafiz Shehzad disappeared in my fiancé and I was stuck with this individual worker in this shop trying to get a suspend over $500 on spice, tea, and clothing. After explaining and saying no thank you over and over and over, Hafiz Shehzad gave the worker a hand sign, and then we left. At this time Hafiz Shehzad demeanor changed and he rushed us through this entire tour. He drove us straight to Atlantis driving aggressively showed us around and then continue to drive to the Burj Khalifa, where he had our tickets to enter the Burj Khalifa up top. At this point, my fiancé, and I decided to call it quits and told Hafiz Shehzad that he did not wait for us and that he can leave and he was shocked and said OK thank you. We nearly paid almost $400 for this tour after a long flight. This was not the tour to do with this company. I’m truly upset and disappointed that this tour did not be my expectation and we lost that on a lot of money. I’ve done many tours on Viatour and this is the first one star bad review. I had to write if I could I wish I could give them zero stars but ultimately I do not recommend this tour company and the tour guide Hafiz Shehza. Book at your own risk they are plenty of other tours out there and companies that would do a much better job.. I give this tour a zero stars if I could and I will I do not recommend do not book. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money………..
