It was AMAZING ... what a great Tour Guide and driver we had, and the organization was incredible ... I would recommend it to any single/couple/family traveller. They were amazing on time, their language skills are great and it was such a nice taste of DUBAI

Something different to try if not tried before, the view is not as clear as I would of expected it to be. There seems to be a cloudy view from up there. Never the less we enjoyed it and the service was spot on.

Great trip. Such an amazing view. Worth going to 148th floor. Alot more relaxing. Other floors very busy. Nice refreshments too. Guide very good but abit quick. You have to rush to keep up

Very easy transaction found it hard to find location in dubai mall to actually collect ticket sign posting for burj khalifa bad

Great experience! Although we thought it was in the same building, the two attractions are 15min apart.
