Great layover private tour of Dubai.

Great tour to explore Dubai with Seef

Had a wonderful experience of Dubai markets and old houses. Seef made it so memorable by explaining about the custom and traditions of this great Emirate. Seef is an amazing and knowledge guide keeping our spirits high with his humour and witty jokes. No to miss if you want to explore real Dubai. Seef is like an Oasis in desert and therfore we enjoyed every bit of the tour despite being a very hot day. Highly recommend this trip.

Good introduction to the older part of the city - good snacks

Preferred timing request was accepted, but late pick-up and transfer to guide, being asked to 'wait here', and a back-to back-booking for the guide, introduced some sense of urgency towards the end reducing the overall booking by appr. 45 minutes, but the key items of the tour were ticked off. Overall the guiding was to the point and met expectations on this private family tour. Always interesting to get some inside guiding in new cities. Recommendable as a first introduction to the area.
