This experience was the highlight of our short vacation to Dubai! Booking on Thrillark website was super easy and they sent a driver to pick us up at our hotel. The driver's name was Comando, and he told us all about Dubai, and he was really knowledgeable, which made our trip enjoyable. When you book with them tell them to send you to Comando ????
