The tour was fantastic on the air-conditioned deck. The staff was very friendly, the pizza was delicious, really professional organization! Thank you, this will remain a brilliant experience!

The buses were punctual and the audio guide was good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We didn't think about the fact that when you want to start halfway on the second day, you have to sit through the whole first part again to get there. An improvement could be that the buses drive in both directions instead of all driving in the same circle. We bought a two-day ticket because we wanted to go on a cruise boat. We were unable to book the time on the app and it was full so we could not join. It was disappointing and it should have been made clear early on that places are limited.

We were moved to a 5pm Dhow Creek Cruise (which was great) the lady at the Cruise that works for Big Bus said that as soon as we get back we will have to catch the last bus. We asked her to ensure what she speaks to driver that he doesn't leave without us. As our boat was arriving at dock we saw the bus.....we disembark immediately and almost ran to stop (lady was nowhere to be seen) and the bus had gone. We had to catch a taxi and pay extra cost to get back to Souk Madinat where our car was parked. We incurred cost and lost out on the balance of the bus ride and sight seeing on route. How can it be sold as 24hr ticket but bus doesn't operate 24hrs

Ticketing experience was great and the HoHo experience was generally wonderful except that sometimes the audio guide connection was not working. Also the parking bay at dubai mall is a bit too congested which takes lot of time to get in and out from there.

We wanted to start our trip from the Frame but there was no sign anywhere to know where the bus would stop, so we had to take a taxi to Burjuman. Not acceptable not to have a sign. The rest was nice.

1) Several delays on bus stops to ne picked up; 2) No WiFi in the bus, we international visitors relay (most of the time) on public wifi (and on services like yours, a mall, a hotel) nowadays this is an expected feature. 3) most of the seatbelts did not work (belt stucked) 4) several earplug jacks are not working or defective (bad comtact) -- regular maintenance would be good. This is bad specially when the bus us fully liaded and there us no room to go to another seat with properly working audio. 5) On the landmarks of the city, we would expect the driver would slow down to allow for opportunities for customer to take a good picture (if not going out the bus at that particular stop/landmark) -- specially when your tour guide (recording) mentions the landmark. Hooe this helps 👍

The Dubai Frame's view of old Dubai and new Dubai was breathtaking. The staff there are very accommodating, especially Saleem — who took such stunning photos and videos of me. He even thought me how to pose for pics and move for videos and I loved the outcome. 🤭 We also had a short but informative conversation regarding the Dubai Frame. I also enjoyed a lot with Desert Safari. Our Tour guide — Najam picked us on time. He was very patient with us and was very approachable. He always made sure we are comfortable and are having a good time. A five star experience!

Both the Miracle Gardens & the Frame were great breathtaking experiences. Booking was easy and saved 13%, so thank you. One bad experience was the taxi ride from outside the gardens to the frame, where we were scammed to the tune of 483 Dirham (should have been approx 100) have since read that this seemed to be a common theme.... spoils a good day out, something needs to be done about it. Many thanks Barry.

We had a lovely experience booking through Headout for both the Dubai Frame and the Miracle Garden! The ticketing process was smooth, convenient, and immediate — we received our e-tickets right after booking with clear instructions. Both attractions were absolutely stunning: the Dubai Frame offered breathtaking panoramic views of old and new Dubai, while the Miracle Garden was a vibrant, colorful dream filled with incredible floral displays. Everything went perfectly, and Headout made the entire process stress-free. Highly recommend using them for an easy and reliable experience!

Great to see how The Palm was created. Views from the top were stunning. Sunset is a great time to go, even when a bit cloudy! The colour of the sky was awesome. Not too busy up there so plenty of opportunities to take photos.

It was easy to book tickets. There is about half an hour if you are a little late, which is exactly what happened to us while we were looking for a place to park our car in the shopping center. Overall a nice walk with a nice view and the most important thing is that the weather is beautiful. We were lucky with the weather, it was sunny and the visibility was great.

Ticketing experience was great and the HoHo experience was generally wonderful except that sometimes the audio guide connection was not working.
Also the parking bay at dubai mall is a bit too congested which takes lot of time to get in and out from there.

Why choose Dubai Hop-on Hop-off
All the stops, none of the stress
With around 25 stops, this Dubai bus takes you straight to the biggest icons – Burj Khalifa, Atlantis The Palm, and Dubai Frame – without the headache of navigating taxis. Hop off where the action is, and hop back on when you're ready for more.
Perks that keep on giving
Your ride comes with a multilingual audio guide packed with fun facts, so you can learn about what you're seeing. Complimentary earphones mean crisp sound, and kids get their special audio tour to turn history into storytime.
Optional upgrades for extra thrills
Upgrade your hop-on hop-off Dubai ticket for access to Madame Tussauds, Aquaventure Waterpark, or the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Prefer something more chill? Hop on a traditional Dhow Creek Cruise and float past Dubai’s glittering skyline in style.

Thrill-seekers & waterpark junkies
Sightseeing is great, but so is screaming down a waterslide at Aquaventure or coming face-to-fin with sharks at Lost Chambers. Get your thrills, dry off, and hop back on – the city waits for no one, but this Dubai hop-on hop-off bus will.
Solo travelers & free spirits
No need to fake chit-chat with a taxi driver – this bus tour lets you jump off for that perfect Insta shot, roam at your own pace, and then hop back on when your feet demand a break. Freedom, flexibility, and zero awkward small talk – what’s not to love?
