5.00We went on a private guided tour with Farhan, and we had a wonderful day! Farhan tells you in an understandable and humorous way everything about the culture, dos and donts, fun facts, political stuff and his love for the country shines through. We saw all the basic/must see sight seeing places and it is big advantage going with a local. He is also a very good driver. Our trip was longer than planned. We only had 2 days in Dubai and If we get back we will definitely book Farhan again - eg the Abu Dhabi trip.
Nice personalized tour of the highlights

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend this tour company for this half day Dubai tour with Burj Khalifa. Worth getting VIP for 148th floor skip the lines. The views spectacular, weather amazing cooler in November, and I can't say enough about my friendly tour guide Farhan. He provided so much information on local history, culture, religion, customs and architecture. I highly recommend you request him for your tour.

5.00Great half- day introduction to Dubai’s key sites. Farhan, our guide, was very knowledgeable, informative, professional and polite, and he allowed us to take our own pace with the tour - this was much appreciated since we had four children with us. We would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to see the main City sights in a relatively short time.

5.00We had a wonderful experience touring the beautiful blue mosque, the old city, and the gold and spice souks with our guide Farhan. Farhan was very knowledgeable about the history of the UAE and the culture of the country. You could feel how much pride and love he had for his county and culture, and I enjoyed hearing and learning all about it.
