Lot of things see, they picked up from the hotel and watch like DUBAI frame, palm jumerah, burj al Arab, Atlantis and kings palace. It was wonderful half day trip. Thanks Team.

Según la explicación de la visita, tendríamos que haber ido al zoco de las especies y al zoco del oro, nos llevaron hasta allí pero ni nos bajamos del coche, pasamos por delante sin pararnos. Tampoco cruzamos el canal con el barco de madera, que lo detalla en la explicación de la visita.
No fuimos al museo, dónde nos llevaron fue a un sitio dónde nos intentaron vender cosas. Tampoco paramos en el hotel Burj Al Arab, el coche pasó por delante pero ni se paró.
En resumen, de lo que se explica del recorrido no hicimos casi nada. Por esta excursión pagamos casi 140 euros (éramos 4 personas) y la verdad es que nos llevamos una gran decepción
Puedo entender que por motivos ajenos haiga algún cambio pero es que no tiene nada que ver lo que contratamos con lo que nos hicieron.
He enviado msm a tripavisor para explicarles la situación y no me han hecho caso. Un desastre
