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.

As my flight was arriving very early in Dubai, I decided to do a Hop on Hop off. For the first day it was good to get an overview of the city. The Big bus tour goes around the most visited places and is therefore a good option for getting around Dubai. However, you have to expect long times in traffic.

Staff were amazing as always , there were a lot of other inclusions such as river cruise and aquarium. but due to traffic I wasn't able to cover much of it, as It took ages to get from one stop to another, thus we could not explore the city as much as we would have loved to. It is not company's fault, but it is very difficult to we even half of the stop: overall, I guess it is still worth the money due to other perks they offer.

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.

I bought 2 tickets same day at a discounted rate for general admission to The View Palm Jumeirah for 11:30 a.m. on a Friday and had no wait to take the elevator to the 52nd floor. We also had no issue scanning the tickets we purchased with Headout via a screenshot that I took to capture my QR codes in case I didn't have internet access.

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.

Excellent place with lovely photo opportunities. We went around 4pm and were at the top within 15-20 minutes. Parking was a breeze. The views are very good and the place was not as crowded as Burj Khalifah and it only cost £10 per person compared to £37 for Burj Khalifah. I would personally recommend this instead.

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!

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!
