What people love about United Arab Emirates Tours for Seniors
- Best of Dubai Tour - 7 Days
A lot of time was wasted waiting for tickets to the aquarium and zoo. We could have explored the mall for the hour instead of waiting on tickets. We also had to do unnecessary walking at the mall for the guide to show us where to meet after events. We could have used the time to explore the mall. We also had to wait at least an hour at the marina in the heat while dressed for our cruise. No one told us why!! These days were not as organized as others!!
- Dubai Stopover - 4 days
My only complaint is the city tour . Italian translation was annoying . Otherwise they were very accommodating.
- Magical Dubai
This was a beautiful experience for my husband and I while celebrating our 47th Wedding Anniversary ?! Wingbuddy took a lot of the guess work out of our travels and made this an enjoyable event! I highly recommend booking a tour with this company! THE BEST!!!
