My girlfriend and I were impressed at how much we got out of the tour. Rafiq was very knowledgeable, not only about what was shown on the tour, but also about Dubai as a whole. Naeem was a great driver, and both guys were patient and fun to get to know a bit. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and it is an outstanding value for money. Thank you!

We had a very good experience with this Dubai city tour. Our guide Rafiq and driver Naeem arrived promptly on time. Rafiq explained our schedule for the day and set the expectations. He shared lots of history and many trivia facts about the place. We covered all the important destinations of Dubai. The weather was perfect in December. Nothing felt rushed. We had ample time to explore the places and took great pictures. We highly recommend this 5 hour tour for any new visitors of Dubai.
