Great time
Guide was friendly, knowledgable and flexible. Great way to see the highlights of the city in a safe and comfortable way.

excellent beginning to September
Barring the non reachability of the operator, the trip was a pleasant one with one of the finest guides with us. Operator needs to be more proactive after the trip is booked and confirmed and their phone lines need to be reachable.

An excellent whistle stop introduction to Dubai
The tour took the best part of three hours or so and our driver was very knowledgeable of Dubai, and was flexible in terms of pick up and drop off. The air conditioned car was very welcome during our private tour, and we had sufficient time to take photographs at key points. The option to take a boat taxi to the markets was also welcomed. Only part I didn’t enjoy was the markets where the stall holders were quite forceful, as to be expected.

All the main Dubai sights with a great guide.
A wonderful tour, perfect for those with limited time who want to see the main sights of old and new Dubai. Our guide Shajahan was friendly and knowledgeable, and arrived at our hotel for pick up right on time. Could not ask for a more enjoyable introduction to Dubai.

Well worth it!!
We couldn't have been happier with Shajahan. He gave us plenty of info and was very friendly. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Saw some amazing sights. Highly recommended. Thanks again mate. Alex and Madeleine.

Thank you for this great experience!
Our tour guide Jamal is a wonderful person. He explained and showed me everything in Dubai in detail, took our individual wishes into account, even went beyond the time we had booked and was there with heart and soul. Of all the guides during our week-long cruise through the Orient, he was by far the best. Thank you for the wonderful day!

The best way to see all parts of Dubai in a short time
I can’t believe how much we did with Shajahan on this half day tour. He was kind, helpful, had incredible knowledge. We learnt so much about the different parts of Dubai. We loved how he knew all the best places to take great photos and then joined us on the river taxi to the gold and spice souk too. If you are short of time then definitely do this half day tour, you won’t regret it! Thank you Shajahan for an unforgettable introduction to Dubai ❤️

A Great Overview of Dubai
My guide was Shajahan (aka Shah) and he was excellent. He has lived in Dubai almost 20 years and knows the city very well. We drove all over, stopping for photo along the way. We walked through the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk, took a water taxi, went to the Dubai marina, to the end of Palm Jumeirah, and point in between. The tour started from my hotel in Business Bay around 2 pm and we returned around 7 pm. The only negative was driving through the late-afternoon traffic in Dubai, but that was not fault of Shah. This was not inexpensive, but the schedule was right for me and I feel the value was good. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a 1/2 day tour in the afternoon.
