Overall, this trip went as planned. The driver was very nice and professional. Would recommend Imran to others. The only hiccup was that our driver wasn't aware the Honeybee Garden was part of the experience. However, when we mentioned it, he was able to pivot and take us to the location. That being said, when we arrived, the place looked abandoned and our driver explained that the business has been closed for a while. This was upsetting to hear because the bees were the #1 reason I booked this tour. If it were possible, I would get a partial refund from management because they are advertising experiences that are unavailable. That being said, in slight defense of management, it may have been a miscommunication, because after looking at reviews online, it appears people were at the Honeybee Garden within the last month. I'm not sure what the mix-up was, but I do know that we did not get the full experience. However, this was not our driver's fault. He was great and made up for the Honeybee Garden by having a short, back-up museum visit for us.
We both liked the tour to Hatta. The place is wonderful and we explored everything we liked without any rush. Our driver Umar provided us with all necessary information.
Great organization and activity! Everything was great! Thank you. The team was great. We enjoyed the day and the car pick-up was comfortable. We recommend it!
Our flight was not leaving until after midnight so after a cruise we had a whole day in Dubai. Having seen a lot of the city previously, we wanted to see more of the area and I was delighted when I found this tour with Faisan Mizra, a guide who comes highly recommended. He picked us up in his air conditioned and comfortable SUV, and in no time we were heading to Hatta which is located in the mountains. I can't say it was any cooler there than around Dubai, but it was totally different scenery. We visited the dam and lake where you have the opportunity to rent craft to go onto the lake. Next stop was a market which had some lovely fruit baskets. Then it was on to the heritage village which was very interesting and very pleasant to wander around. Our last stop was a lovely surprise, a honey bee discovery centre where we sampled different types of honey. At each stop there was the opportunity to do much more than we did; we found the heat a little too much that day. Heading back to Dubai, Faisan treated us to tea and samosas. We were then dropped off at an hotel close to the airport. Faisan is a very amiable, very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about Dubai and surrounding areas. We had a great last day of our vacation with him, and would not hestitate to recommend him and this tour.
It was a wonderful adventurous trip with my family to Hatta. A special thanks to Faizan Mirza who was our captain and guide for this trip. He really brings with him a positive vibe and lot of information about the place we are visiting and about the history of the country which helps the tourist to Keep themselves updated about the place they are going. Thanks a lot Faizan. Keep it up. 👍
The views , dams, Bee farm and Hotel were a fantastic experience. We totally enjoyed a two day trip full of adventure and watching nature at its best
We had a nice day trip to Hatta with lots of things to see. Our son of nine years old especially liked the honeybee garden very much.
Faizan was our tour guide and he was very detailed with the history of Dubai and nearby states which deepen our knowledge of the country. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously we would highly recommend anyone to join the tour for sight seeing to Hatta Dam, plan for more time if you would like to kayak and the bees tour was educational for our son as it's a rare opportunity to be up close with the bees.
Superb walk with toseef. Hatta is a city of character which contrasts with the madness of grandeur of Dubai. Several interesting stops. A kayak trip on the lake. A stop at our request in a local supermarket with prices very different from the souks of Dubai. Lots of visiting tips for the rest of our stay. Very comfortable car. Thank you toseef The only downside was that the heritage village was closed.
Thanks Faizan for an amazing tour! Everything was well organised. We loved that the guide was flexible and very friendly with kids.
