BEWARE OF THIS OPERATOR CO.
They did not deliver what they promised or contracted for. No refunding either!!! Never again. Do not use this operator company. Very deceiving.
Response from the operator: Dear KATHLEEN_O, Greetings from ORIENT TOURS! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to share our point of view here: You booked a transfer with us from the Airport to your hotel and assumed we would also provide your transfer to the port, this was not the case and we tried to explain you have booked with another company on viator and not Orient Tours. you did not listen and kept shouting to our Airport rep. this is the only reason why we were unable to help you and suggested you to contact Viator, not us. We regret that we were not able to provide the transfer as it was not booked with us, we can not agree that this was our mistake. Best regards, Nicole Raijmakers Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

Cruise Terminal To Hotel Transfer
Private Transfer Driver was waiting for us to exit Cruise Terminal, he was pleasant, helpful and on time. We were taken to Hotel and had pleasant ride, lots of traffic on roadways. Our experience was excellent and Viator will be used again.
Response from the operator: Dear Charles_E, Thank you for leaving a review on our transfer service. We love to read about the experience you have had with us. We will be sure to share your review with our team as it helps us validate for our efforts. We hope to see you return so you can try some of our other highly rated tours and safaris.

Xfer Ok, but driver...
Xfer Ok, but driver constantly coughing whole trip. He should have worn a mask, or stayed home if truly sick.

Best transfer yet!
The driver communicated through What's App and came over immediately when we arrived early. He pointed out landmarks on the way to the hotel and was very friendly. The van was spotless! Great way to transfer from the cruise port.
Response from the operator: Dear Clair…, Thank you for leaving a review on our transfer service. We love to read about the experience you have had with us. We will be sure to share your review with our team as it helps us validate for our efforts. We hope to see you return so you can try some of our other highly rated tours and safaris.

Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai Private Transfer: Cruise Port to Dubai Hotel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
