Excellent tour guide w one complaint
Excellent tour guide with a driver. Knowledgable and accommodating every step of the way through our city wide tour of Dubai. One complaint, we were taken into a spice market that we did not ask to see and were basically swindled out of $100 usd for 2 small bags of spices. Partially my fault for not being more forceful in my refusal but you know how it is when they show you everything etc. Terrible rip off.

Full day Private Dubai Tour: Mohammed is the man!
As seasoned travellers, we rarely come across a City Tour which leaves you speechless at its conclusion. This is one of those rare gems but in our experience it is not the tour itself: our 5-Star Rating is because of our fabulous, kind, considerate & highly professional tour guide/driver, Mohammed! When you book ASK for him, on your private tour.
We could write endless words describing our truly wonderful day but we’ll try and express our thoughts in the following.
Mohammed, contacted us a number of times prior to pick-up, we had a really nice vehicle with beautiful AC, endless bottles of water, lots of stops for photos, etc. One of the first things he did was to discuss his broad plan for the 8-hours allotted & then we all agreed on a plan which he executed, but always asking us if we wanted to go here or there. Mohammed has definitely found his calling in life: we joked several times with him, asking “is there anything you don’t know about Dubai & the UAE?”: No is the answer: he was a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge & fun facts!
He got us to all the tourist & non-tourist areas & attractions with ease: we never opened our wallet for anything: everything was organised including ‘skip the line’ for the Burj Khalifa (unbelievable experience). He even got us to the Dubai Mall & showed us around including the water show & an incredible neon light show on the Burj & other buildings: we went way over our time, but not for a second did Mohammed give us the impression that he wanted our tour to end: we were all having such a memorable time.
Well as you can now see why Mohammed must be sourced for your Dubai Private Day Tour: we hope The UAE has an awards night for the very best tour guides being recognised! If it were up to us he would receive the Gold Award of Excellence!
This is sooo easy to rate the highest possible 5-Star rating & to HIGHLY recommend this tour with this guide. It was well worth the money. For our fellow travellers we hope this helps in making your decision super easy, in this case. Kind regards, GreyNomads

Abu Dhabi - Sheikh Zayed Mosque
The tour was exceptionally well organised, they picked me up from the hotel, then we came together at a meeting point, then we visited the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi. All the tour guides were extremely friendly, and knew a lot about the place we were going to and also the country in general. Highly recommend !

Superb day in Abu Dhabi!
Superb day in Abu Dhabi!
A perfect route: the Mosque, the Emirates Palace, the F1 circuit, and Ferrari World. Very few people, which allowed us to do the attractions without any waiting in line (too bad about the Formula Rossa being under maintenance, however!). A huge thank you to our guide Sayed: his smile, his kindness, and his attentiveness made this excursion exceptional. We recommend him with our eyes closed!

Highly recommended! Our...
Highly recommended! Our trip to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Louvre Abu Dhabi was an amazing experience. Our guide, Adnan, was exceptional. He shared so much interesting knowledge with us throughout the journey and made the trip both informative and enjoyable.
He guided us through the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and explained its history and significance, which made the visit even more special. The Louvre Abu Dhabi was self-guided, giving us the freedom to explore at our own pace.
Although it was a shared tour, there were only two of us tourists, which made the experience feel much more personal and comfortable. Everything was well organized, and Adnan's friendliness and expertise truly stood out. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi!

I recently booked a desert safari tour with Khalifa Desert Adventure, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the pickup to the drop-off, everything was perfectly organized and handled in a very professional manner. The driver was highly skilled, especially during the dune bashing, which was both thrilling and safe.
The desert views were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The camp experience was also fantastic, with delicious food, great entertainment, and excellent hospitality. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help.
I highly recommend Khalifa Desert Adventure to anyone looking for an exciting and well-managed desert safari experience. It was worth every moment and every penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had Abdul as our guide. He was fantastic with giving us all the information on things we did. He was a great driver and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He stayed with us past the tour time to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. I'd recommend this to all as an awesome day trip from Dubai.

Beautiful mosque experience!
One of the most amazing experiences I have done in a long time seeing the beautiful mosque and explanations of history behind it all, highly recommended. Aya was super friendly and made sure we were all comfortable and had plenty of time to do things we wanted to do at each location.

Magnificent a must see
The gardens are truly magnificent and really worth the visit. I had my elderly mother so we hired a little taxi to drive us around, we hired it for an hour, but half an hour would have been long enough. The driver was very willing to take loads of photos. I had left a day for this activity, but it can easily be walked around at a leisurely pace in half a day. There are lots of places to sit and relax as well as buy eats and drinks.

Incredible experience!
After reading reviews I opted for the VIP option and it was worth it on every aspect! Having access to the 152nd, 153rd, and 154th floors and outside observation deck was beyond description. Exquisite decor, classy staff, and a beautiful and calm atmosphere to enjoy the views. I spent nearly an hour with all three floors to myself other than staff. They offered drinks and sweets and were very accommodating to anything I may need or want. I ventured dine to the 144th floor and its outside observation deck. It was more crowded, and less classy. Still very very nice, just not near as posh. The views were nice but not as stunning as those from above. Then went to the 125th floor and down to the 124th floor/outside observation deck. It was nice, but nothing special in decor. It was crowded and honestly the views although still impressive; failed miserably in comparison to bring an additional 30 stories above this point. I felt bad for everyone who seemingly were truly enjoying themselves, wishing they could have had the same experience I did. If you have the means and the interest, this was an incredible experience! It’s worth the extra money to fully have the true Khalifa experience as intended. The driver was very polite and early to ensure you were dropped off and picked up on time.

Relaxing Shopping Trip with Rahim Khan and Ayaan
I took this shopping tour with Rahim Khan as my tour guide and Ayaan as my driver. Ayaan navigated the traffic very well even though it seemed to be extra busy on the day I chose. Rahim Khan was very relaxed and let me explore museums and shops at my own pace. He didn’t pressure any purchases or any sort of structure. I was free to do what I want and spend as long as I wanted where I wanted. Rahim Khan was also knowledgeable and went through the interesting history of the country and architecture of the old town. He also started talking a little bit about more minute things that interested me when I expressed a bit of personal interest such as social structure and services in the country that related to my work experience back home. Very chill guys.

Top !
Really good! Highly recommended. Our guide Awais was great and well informed. He also drove well and safely. Quad was strong; we were only 3 people including companion. 30 min is enough mE. Great experience; I don't like camel riding.
5***** is from me.
