The worst activity I have done, running away, they arrived 30 minutes late to pick us up, I already had this experience with another guide called SAIVO, it went well, but today with another guide called IMRAN he left us because we were 2 minutes late at the meeting point, he did not even give us time to take a picture they rush us at every stop, we do not have time to appreciate because he puts too much pressure on you, if you want to visit the city in peace without pressure you have to look for another provider otherwise you will end up like us taking a taxi to return to the hotel and not having finished the whole visit
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We are truly sorry to read about your disappointing experience. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused during your tour. It’s never our intention for guests to feel rushed or uncomfortable, and we completely understand how upsetting it must have been to miss part of the visit. We deeply regret that the timing and communication on this occasion fell short of expectations. We have already spoken with our guide, Imran, to review what happened and to ensure that more understanding and flexibility are shown in similar situations. Your feedback is very valuable in helping us improve our service and the way we care for our guests. We’re grateful that you previously had a positive experience with our guide Saivo, and we truly hope you will give us another chance to make it right and show you the warm, enjoyable experience that so many of our guests love. With our sincerest apologies, Kind Regards Team Efficient Tourism

An awesome full day Dubai City Tour!
I booked the Full Day Dubai City Tour for my family with Efficient Tourism! The activity was really amazing as we got to know so many things about the city. The tour took us to many heritage sites in comfortable four-wheelers. The views everywhere were spectacular! Besides, we even got some great deals and offers on group bookings. Would highly recommend Efficient Tourism for any tours or activities in Dubai!

A great tour!
We covered a good portion of the city in our tour. Our guide was a professional and was extremely knowledgeable. Because we were on a 1 day cruise stop, it was crucial to get in as many sights as possible. Comparing tours with others on the cruise ship, we saw the most. The only thing I would do differently is to not use the Dubai Mall as a pickup point. The mall is huge and has several exits.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 18 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 Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour?
+
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 Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour?
+
Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour 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 Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. 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.
What is included in Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour?
+
Included: Dubai Marina Skyline A Picturesque View; Photographic Experience of The Burj Al Arab From Outside; Visit Oasis Mall for Lunch; Photography Outside of Museum of the Future; and Visit to Farooq Bin Omar Khatib Mosque. Not included: No Meals Are Included; Entrance Ticket For Burj Khalifa Is Not Included; and Entrance in Burj Al Arab & Atlantis Hotel Is Not Included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 721 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Full Day Explore Old Heritage & Modern Dubai City Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
