Can't find the bus stops

Found the starting bus stop difficult to find because of little signage in the mall. Also the bus stops en route didn't indicate that they they were ",hop on off bus" stops

Bad experience

My experience was horrible. My flight got delayed for a emergency and I had communicated with them with more than 24/7 as stated in the rules of cancellation or change. it was 3 days before the date from Los Angeles and they never helped me out. I was able to reach out to customer service and they told me they would talk to the operator tour people and I even message them but they never communicated with me. All I wanted is to change my date because I wanted my tour for a different date because my plane has been delayed but they never rescheduled other to me ever. After my date I was able to request a refund from the app but they didn’t give me my refund still and still didn’t communicate with me. I think it was honestly mess up because all I wanted a date change. The rules of then saying we can do free cancellation or change in 24/7 is a lie.

Absolutely shocking experience!!

Shocking … We were left by a taxi driver who said we could catch a bus from Burjaman Centre .. sent messages via this app to the operator who never responded. This was 14:00 Caught another cab to the frame and waited there for the bus. Got on .. and it went back to the mall. Now 15:00 We tried to get on another bus so we could do the rest of the journey to find that our PAID trip was cancelled. The money was taken from my account! A very kind gentleman helped with finding our booking and finally your offices re-instated the booking - by this stage it was. 15:47 .. He placed us on the next bus… which after stop 1 - we realised he put us on the red line but we booked the blue line! We got to the boat as we paid for this - we were completely ignored by the crew on the boat for a good 30 min until finally one came out to say the final boat was at 15:00!!!! This was not on the trip advisor app and when we looked at the ticket (issued at 15:47) there it stated 15:00 - but we did not know this upon booking this ticket on Saturday. The buses ran late every where we went, the onboard commentary via the head phones was very poor and on the whole it was terrible!

Operator response

Great experience - highly recommended

We met Mossa at the booth in front of the Lost Cambers Aquarium. He was very nice and recommended us a great tour. Our highlight was the 6 hour safari through the desert. We can highly recommend City Sightseeing Dubai. Thank you so much!
