4.00Fantastic half-day private city tour with Shehzad. He tailored the experience to my interests, weaving in background on landmark architecture that added real depth beyond the usual sightseeing, while also sharing insights into local customs. A perfect way for first-time visitors to get oriented. The only drawback was that the cost of the tour was very high compared to other tours.
Wonderful time on our half-day Dubai city tour with Abid

5.00We had a wonderful time on our half-day Dubai city tour! It was the perfect way to see all the major highlights in a short amount of time. My husband and I signed up for a group tour, but we lucked out — it ended up being just the two of us with our lovely guide, Abid. He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and made sure we never felt rushed. We truly enjoyed being able to explore at our own pace. Highly recommend!
Amazing time

5.00Shezhad is a great tour guide and a good driver in the fierce Dubai traffic. He took us all over town, and gave narration about all the highlights. We were especially appreciative of his photography skills at the photo ops. Thank you, Shezhad, for showing us Dubai!

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 good about my friendly tour guide Farhan was full of information on local history, culture, religion, customs and architecture. I highly recommend you request him for your tour.

5.00The tour was quite flexible given that we essentially had a private driver guide. Our guide Zaka was very kind and accommodating and made sure our tour was enjoyable. He made a good recommendation for our lunch stop as well. I was expecting more information on the history of Dubai or UAE but in terms of sightseeing this was a good tour which allowed us a good overview of the city.

5.00Fantastic experience and highly recommended. I did these 4 tours on my transit in Dubai on-route back to Australia and was well worth the adding the extra time onto the transit. This tour visited all area of Dubai and including a quick boat ride across the creek to visit the Souks and have lunch. I would consider doing this again.
