A long and full day. The tour started early and had many stops for photos at places of interest. Sunhail the guide was very knowledgeable and the recorded audio was very interesting. We found the souk bit stressful because of being pestered throughout and felt that nearly an hour was too long there. The separate guide at the Souk was clearly only interested in getting us to buy tea in his friend’s shop and then left us, when we were told we should stay with him , so that also was disappointing/stressful. Sunhail though was very thoughtful and even in the Dubai Mall checked that we were both ok as two women travelling on our own. Overall we thought the trip was worthwhile and although a bit whistlestop was still value for money.

Rizwan guide The guide is excellent, very helpful We will recommend him. The driver is also very good, very careful Don't hesitate to do this trip
Great day trip starting from pick up in Abu Dhabi and travel to Dubai for a site seeing tour. Plenty of photo opportunities and our guide Naveen (for the Dubai tour) was on hand to take pics. We visited a Mosque ( but no time to go in), had great views from the beach near the Burg hotel, but the highlight for us was the short boat trip from one side of the Souk area to another. That was really fun. The Gold Souk was quite a sight, from sparkly gems to enormous gold creations. We got taken to the Dubai mall and saw the impressive fountain display to music, which was lovely. Then it was a quick bite to eat in the food hall (we decided not to go for the arranged lunch) and before we headed back to Abu Dhabi our guide Suhail took us to Palm Island for a look at the impressive Atlantis hotel. Everything worked really well for the trip, the guides for the two parts of the trip were friendly and helpful so all in all, a worthwhile day out.
It was a very good tour. I learned alot about the culture, food, cities, etc. The tour guide was hilarious, he was very knowledgeable.
Great service and experience, driver and also guide was really good and great person, he was ontime and always in communication with us if everything was good
Very good experience. Full day itinerary. We had a good lunch too, we liked it so much and worth the money! Our driver was very nice too
Rizwan guide Execelent guide lot of patients and knowledge abou the tour and we recomended this tour to our friends .special thanks to Rizwan super nice.
Rizwan was excellent tour guide Mansha the driver was amazing. Overall they were winderful. The tour was friendly, pleasant and accomodating. They provided water, tour package with water. The bus was nice with air conditioner.
Suhail, our guide, was in touch the day before to reconfirm and even arrived early. He was super helpful in ensuring the day ran smoothly. There was no guessing. If he said he'd pick us up at a certain point at a certain time, he was there with a smile. Definitely recommend this company and hope you get lucky to have Suhail as your driver that day!
We had a nice Experience with Rizwan as the tour Guide and driver Jakir, they were so nice with the group, and we recommend the tour 100%
Tour Date: September 9 2025 Our tour guide was exceptionally nice and very helpful throughout the entire trip. I truly enjoyed the experience—it was not only fun but also very informative. The guide shared so much knowledge in an engaging way, which made the journey even more meaningful. Everything was well-organized, and I felt comfortable and taken care of the whole time. Thank you for making the tour such a memorable and worthwhile experience!
Very informative tour which kept us occupied from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. The driver, and the tour guide were both very kind, polite and helpful. The only thing that I would have appreciated is bottles of water which have been available on every other tour or trip that we have done so far. At 40 degrees temperatures, it was definitely needed. They did however pull in to a garage where some could be purchased.
We had a great tour from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. Our driver Suhail picked us up on time and was very friendly. He shared interesting facts along the way and made the trip really enjoyable. Highly recommend the tour and Suhail as a guide!
Great experience! Dubai is amazing, Rizwan too! Great service! Totally worth it. We recommend it at any time! Enjoy your tour!
Rizwan was very good and informative. He kept us hydrated too. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.Thank you Giovanna
Good knowledge about the area. Explained what the day would entail. There were three couples doing different things so we were dropped off at different area and told when to meet up. We had booked a meal but were dropped off at 11.30 at the restaurant but it did not open till 12.00 so we’re left waiting outside. Meal was nice but we had wasted time that we could have used seeing other things.
The tour was excellent, we were picked up at 07:50 at the hotel. The van is quite comfortable and they gave us headphones to listen to the tour in Spanish, the explanations and other information is great. We stood at several places of interest. They included a lunch at the Siraj Restaurant مطعم سراج restaurant next to the Dubai Mall. The food 10/10. In general, I highly recommend this tour since we went in the summer and the heat was too much but in the van with the air conditioning it was much more comfortable. Thanks to our guide Suhail for his dedication and always being aware that we are well at all times. In general, it's really worth it.
Grey line tour company was very professional and nice to tourists Driver Sohail was awesome Would recommend grey line tour to others
Thank you very much for the opportunity to see the sights of Dubai. Special thanks to our tour guide - Suhail, who made our trip more colorful with his kindness and knowledgeable.
Nice guided visit with a great atmosphere!!!!! We visit many places and the food was included. We enjoyed with the guide explanations.
Suhail was the best tour guide in UAE. He did very best to be sure we see everything and have fun . He was on time. The resturant Seran was very unique arabic in traditional Souq unbelievable nice. Good food. Totally very satisfying
It was a great trip with our driver, Suhail. He took us to the most famous places in Dubai and a really nice restaurant for lunch. Thank you, Suhail
We had a great day tour abu dhabi full day with our superb tour guide Rahim It was well organized abu dhabi grand mosque wonderful
To start with, I would say that, Rahim was the great guide, he did explained everything tonu, he was enthusiastic, willing to help, and positive. Overall tour was long( obviously it was a whole day one) but really entertaining, I have learned a lot form Rahim + voice tour guide. Overall 10/10
The tour was a great way to see modern dubai from abu dhabi. No hassle pick up from your hotel and convenient fransfers to all the places of interest, which would have been very difficult to DIY. Our guide, suhail, was extremely helpful. 5 stars to him
Great tour, learned so much about the history of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The driver was also quite friendly and polite, would definitely recommend for any tourist.
Had a flight lay-over in Abu Dhabi so decided to to join a day tour to Dubai. Have been driven around and see all the key sites of Dubai within 4-5 hours. Lunch was provided with great quality. The guide (Suhail) is a nice man, recommended.
If you want a quick introduction to Dubai is, this is the tour - It is a long day, especially the drive from Abu Dhabi the driver did his best And appreciated his effort and time we visited some quick masks and markets and the final tour ended with lunch, which was nice at the Dubai mall if you want to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa, you must purchase the tickets or the package.
Suhail, thanks for everything on the day. You really looked after us well and gave all the great information. I had a great and hassle-free time as a solo traveler.
We had an extremely attentive and polite guide. He listened to everything and helped us navigate everything. Thank you so much.
The tour guid was wonderful! My name is Earnestine Sloan and Cassie Heyward and we had a blast from beginning to end! Nice tour and we saw and experienced a lot! I highly recommend this tour and will probably do it again! Well planned tour💯
What a great tour! My tour guide Suhail was the best. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and was constantly checking on us as we did some sightseeing on our own. The tour van has a recorded audio tour that you listen to as you ride about which was great and full of good information.
Suhail was wonderful in showing us around Dubai from Abu Dhabi, the itinerary was well-comprehensive so you can see the majour sights and experiences, and I couldn't have had a more wonderful day trip.
I took a day tour of Dubai from Abu Dhabi with Suhail, and it was completely perfect. On our itinerary he was entertaining and informative, he took care of the group very well, and showed us around the Emirates between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The itinerary in Dubai was well-comprehensive to see the majour and important sights (so you can show off on Instagram, too) Thank you, Suhail, you are the best and I look forward to my next visit!
Well organized tour, with our coach SUHAIL punctuality picked up from our Hotel and good manner, excellent skill of driving. And the lunch is fine dining lunch in SIRAJ -Souk al Bahar at DUBAI MALL with authentic Syrian cuisine, which is our first experience, with 5 star taste. Very well.
Great way to travel from AD to Dubai and learn something in between. Audio info was ill-timed and insufficient. Could have explained a lot more. Tour guide was very nice and helpful.
We recently took a day tour from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our driver, Suhail. He was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable about both cities. From the moment he picked us up, he made sure we were comfortable and shared interesting facts about Dubai’s rich history, culture, and landmarks. The tour covered all the must-see attractions, including the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Palm Jumeirah, and the Dubai Marina. Suhail also recommended some great spots for photos, making sure we didn’t miss out on any iconic views. He was flexible with the itinerary, allowing us plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Suhail’s friendly demeanor and deep understanding of the city made the whole experience feel personalized and special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Dubai from Abu Dhabi – and if you can, ask for Suhail! He truly made the day memorable. Thank you for an amazing experience
We did the tour without lunch with the driver/guide Suhail. Despiste the tour was in Spanish with audio guide, Suhail also explained us many additional things in English during the transit time and when arriving to the different stops. He did a great job. We took many great pictures and had a lot of fun. Very recommendable Day trip from Abu Dhabi.
I booked this tour as it had good reviews and the tour itself was excellent including the drive to and from Abu Dhabi. If there is an option to book this tour without lunch but including entry to the top of the Burj, pick that instead. The place for lunch is too hard to find in the Dubai Mall and there is so much choice there in any case you can get what you fancy. It would be better to have entry to the Burj included, which i paid extra for on the day. Suhail was our driver and guide and was really good taking us to and from Dubai. He stopped in a few additional places for photo ops and kept checking that we were all ok.
The tour itself was easy and comprehensive with Suhail as our driver and guide. He kept checking on us and was really considerate making sure we all saw what we needed and he made a few additional stops for photos. I booked the tour including lunch as it had the best reviews, but i would not book lunch and select the option for Burj entry instead. The restaurant is too hard to find in the Mall and there is so much choice there you can find your own lunch. Going to the top of the Burj is far better and you have time to do that and lunch on your own.
Very friendly driver, good Tour to beautiful places. We will book again here. The Lunch was awesome. Thank you the beautiful day.
Our driver and guide Suhail made our trip a nice experience. He followed the schedule and took us to The Point - Palm Jumeirah, Souk Madinat Jumeirah - traditional fair, Jumeirah Mosque, Jumeirah beach with Burj al Arab view, the Zabeel Palace-garden view, Dubai mall with delicious lunch in traditional restaurant and many more attractions. I would definitely repeat the trip!!!🥰👌
The whole day was informative. The guide was exceptionally friendly and cooperative. I plan to do this again when my family visits.
We ( Myself, 12 years daughter & 15years son) participated this tour during our 15hours stay in Abu Dhabi. I do recommend this tour for the very first UAE visitor, as this tour takes you almost all the main touristic spots in Dubai. Visiting many luxury spot was such an exciting experience for all of us. Visiting many places for only v a look were quite good enough for us, and the driver’s explanation was so helpful. The restaurant which was booked for us was very traditional & beautiful one. We totally enjoyed the time there. Only thing that I am sorry about in this tour was the picking up points. As we were stopovering, we would like to be picked up from the airport but we had to be in the nearest hotel.
Suhail was a very accommodating, friendly, helpful guide who knew the city well. He gave us enough time to look around and explore. Thank you for a brilliant day, we really enjoyed it. I would recommend Gray Line and Suhail to all our future visitors.
The trip was excellent , very much recommended for new visitors to Dubai, Suhail was very helpful, and patient.
Great tour and the tour guide was patient, knowledgeable and ensured we knew where to go. Will recommend!!!
