    Very nice informative trip, great to start with it in Dubai! A very informative tour guide and lots of to see and experience!

    The sights we visited and the information received were wonderful. However, the transportation arrangement from the tour company and the time management from the tour guide for the overall tour were not quite well arranged. The bus that picked me up from my hotel to the city tour was going straight to another city tour after our last sightseeing point so I had to jump out the bus to catch a taxi in order for me to make it to the airport to catch my flight to Russia. It was not the best trip I’ve had though I think they tried to do their best but just not quite well experienced enough.

    A great trip and the best way to see Dubai at glance learn about the country, the locals and the customs. Friendly and a very professional tour guide highly recommended!

    We saw the highlight of Dubai. Our guid, Ramadan, made it extremely interesting and enjoyable. He especially did a great job explaining the Islam religion and what happens during prayer time in the mosque. We had plenty of time for pictures and questions at each stop. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off where we wanted. Very convenient. I highly recommend this tour. Superb value!

    Took this tour as a way to see the sights and was amazed!! My tour guide Ruhee was so polite and knowledgeable of the history and the sites. It was lovely to see the two different sides of Dubai (Old Dubai vs Modern Dubai) with stopping points to take many pictures. It was also such a beautiful experience to enter a mosque! The transportation was a great and comfortable coach bus. I was able to leave my heavy back pack on board and walk around with just a small purse.
    The tour ended around 2PM so keep that in mind if you’re making reservations for anything in the early afternoon. (You can leave early if need be) I would definitely take this tour again and recommend it to everyone.

    Great tour to do so much history to learn and outstanding photo shots. Guide was brilliant gave us lots of useful information and advice on shopping. We did this as our last day tour and it was the perfect way to end our vacation.

    It was a great way to see key highlights from Dubai in a very compressed time period. The guide was very helpful and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge about Dubai. I dis find it a little off-putting that every place we visited was introduced by how much it cost to build, but I think that’s part of the Dubai culture. Overall worth the time and money.

    Ria was a fun guide, and she was good about providing explanations and background. I liked that we were a small group and that I got a hotel pickup rather than having to make my way to a central meeting point, though the others in my group were staying at locations quite far from each other and me, and traffic was pretty bad. That meant that I’d been in the van a full hour before the tour even began.
    We covered a lot of territory and were given ample opportunities to get out and walk or explore.
    The one stop that was unique to this tour (according to my research) was the Blue Mosque. I’d picked the tour thinking that was a big deal. Nope—it’s a fairly small, albeit beautiful, mosque that is privately owned and used principally for tourists. I don’t regret the stop but if I were to choose again I wouldn’t feel compelled to pick this particular tour to stop there. Many other options are available so unless you particularly like seeing religious buildings, you may want to choose another. Having said that, I did like seeing modern and older Dubai, and getting around so thoroughly.
    As I said, guide Ria was good—interesting and very accommodating if our individual interests. She also very helpfully dropped each of us off where we wanted. Most went to Dubai Mall to explore further. The tour was a great experience overall.

  11. jessii_p

    This was as great a tour as it could be during covid times. We learned alot about history & culture of UAE. We did a lot of photo ops as some places were closed for covid but we were fine w that. Would definitely recommend!

  12. Gene_S

    This tour was fabulous. Syed was an incredible tour guide.I love that he was so passionate about Dubai and its culture. He gave us a great understanding of how Dubai has evolved and its impact on the Middle East. Would recommend this tour for any tourist for the first time visiting Dubai.

  13. Dirk_B

    the guide Muhamad Ali Omar in his very knowledgable and nice way showed and explained some highlights during this short tour, appreciated and recommendable for those who in less than 5 hours want to have quick insight of Dubai

  14. Beverley_C

    Was a nice tour. Lots of information and the tour guide was warm and accommodating – would recommend this tour to anyone

  15. Myra_V

    Quick view of Dubai if you have a limited time. Driver/tour guide was very courteous and patient to us, as some guests in the group were never on time. We regret that we did not take the lunch option. It would be nice to eat in Al Khaima Heritage after the tour. The area seems very local. It would have been a nice experience to try their food.

  16. Aimee_V

    Our ½ tour was fabulous! When we were picked up to begin, we found it was only my husband and myself, and one other couple. Having only 4 people and the tour guide made it much better than a large crowd. We all really got to know each other and that made it special.
    Our tour guide; Rinah also made it special. She was very attentive, conversational a REAL advocate when it came to shopping and she REALLY made the tour… GREAT!
    We visited the Blue Mosque, the Dubai Frame, The Gold and Spice Souks, The Pointe AND we had a wonderful Lunch. All along the way Rinah provided interesting commentary and insight. She was also a great photographer.
    The lunch was WONDERFUL!!! Chicken, Rice, Hummus… OH MY!!! So much food! And our waiter; Ronnie was excellent!!
    While there was one unfortunate happening… It has been taken care of and all is good.
    I would recommend this tour if you are in Dubai and don’t want to tour for a full day or with a crowd of people!

  17. Dijana_S

    Excellent guide! In short time you get to know Dubai and later is easier get to attractions for detail exploration on your own.

  18. Cara_P

    Great tour introduce you to Dubai. I think if I could do it again I would go early in the day. The afternoon made the market hot. Also prepare for traffic on the ride back, we did not arrive to our hotel until 8:30pm and had to change our dinner reservation.

  19. Jim_B

    Tour guide Paolo was very professional and knowledgeable about the tour. He explained the history and culture that led up to this beautiful country. He also gave great tips on how to navigate the city.

  20. Ndeyecoumba_D

    The tour was beyond my expectations, with interesting explanations and history.
    I appreciated his patience

  21. MelReginae

    Excellent tour. Noor was a spectacular host. Very knowledgeable and patient as we navigated the markets and asked tons of questions. Ended the tour with excellent traditional dishes. Would recommend!

  22. Ronnie_G

    A great trip to start at the beginning of your time in Dubai as it gives you a great layout for the land and an opportunity to see further sights from your education during this tour. Provides a great insight of Dubai from its early beginnings to current state

  23. Tiago_A

    Ramadan was a great host and the tour was a perfect mix between old and new Dubai. We especially enjoyed the stop at the cafe!

  24. T_S

    Stefano was a very good guide and we enjoyed seeing all the sights. Was a good comprehensive tour of the city.

  25. Naika_A

    My mom and I had a wonderful experience on this tour with Noor. He is professional, knowledgable, and kind. Noor made this experience so much fun. Each stop offered something special, and we especially loved visiting the old souk and the beautiful blue mosque. We did many tours during our week-long Dubai trip, and this experience was by far the best and the most memorable! Ask for Noor when you book this experience. You won’t regret it!

  26. Keith_D

    A small group, which we preferred; Sara was an excellent tour guide. We arrived at each venue earlier than other, noisy groups. We didn’t know before that we were stopping for lunch, but again, the venue chosen was excellent. The tour was also longer than expected, so excellent value.

  27. Rui_W

    Noor was very friendly and informative. I had a memorable time to compare the modern and old sides of Dubai. To get to know the history. Noor also gave great suggestion for places to visit.

  28. Beverley_M

    Adbul is an excellent Guide who speaks great English, is funny and knowledgeable. Adbul provided a memorable experience for me and my family.

  29. Thomas_K

  30. Sharon_K

    The Abra ride to the souk was enjoyable and fun! Our driver/guide, Noor, was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout the whole journey 😀
