5.00As a first time visitor to Dubai, I wanted to get to know the city. This was the perfect tour. Rajesh was professional, courteous and VERY informative. I feel like I learned a great deal about Dubai as he introduced me to both old and new. As a guide/driver, Rajesh is EXACTLY the person you want for a tour like this. He was patient and even helped me find a very specific item I wanted in the souk. Rajesh had great stories and was quick to smile... what more can you ask for in a guide. At the same time, we hit all of the highlights in Dubai and some that I never would have found on my own. Thank you, Rajesh, for an incredible day. I learned so much from you.
