The tour was fantastic! Zaka was a great guide!! The gold sticker and fast pass are definitely the way to go when visiting the Burn Khalifa.
Joanna_C, Feb 2026
Great tour of this beautiful city!! Totally recommend! The convenience of seeing all the highlights in such an efficient way made navigating the busy city so much more relaxing. Hafiz was so kind and informative. We learned a TON about the culture, custom and sites. Thank you for a great day!
Jennifer_M, Feb 2026
Hafiz was super knowledgeable and we had a great day exploring Dubai!! Highly recommend this type of tour to see the city!
Gail_H, Feb 2026
Good itinerary and an exceptional guide who was very informative, helpful and courteous. Can't thank him enough.
KatharineB_O, Jan 2026
The only thing that was challenging was that the guide walked fast! We thought he organized the tour thoughtfully, he was pleasant, informative and on top of things like pre purchased boat tickets to avoid lines. And showed us a nice variety of things in Dubai, both new and old.
Arnav_S, Dec 2025
Yousaf was an excellent tour guide who tailored the tour to our time constraints. He went above and beyond by showing us everything he possibly could. Great experience. Would recommend asking for him as your guide.
moninamabuti, Dec 2025
There was some initial confusion with our original tour guide but our replacement tour guide Ahmed more than made up for this. He was kind and knowledgeable and we were able to see so much of Dubai in a short period of time. We were very happy with this tour! Thank you Ahmed!
Helen_C, Nov 2025
Rajesh was a very informative and friendly tour guide, nothing was too much trouble for him. We loved every minute of the tour , Dubai old and new was spectacular, just loving life on holiday which is what its all about.
rbhopal, Nov 2025
The guide provided a good comprehensive insight into the history of Dubai (which we were interested in therefore he tailored the tour to focus on that) plus key sights. There was much to observe but we felt our objectives were fully met.
Jodi_H, Nov 2025
Fantastic tour! Rajesh was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and was very nice. I highly recommend this tour. It gives nice highlights of both new and old Dubai.
Melissa_S, Nov 2025
Our tour guide, Zaka Qasim, was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire tour. We never felt rushed—he let us take our time capturing photos while still keeping us on schedule and getting us to each site quickly and safely. Zaka shared so much interesting information about each location, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He was also very personable and made everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend him if you want a fun, safe, and informative tour experience
Apollo_C, Oct 2025
perfect city tour we did with Ahmed Shabbir! He took us to all the Dubai tourist spot. He made sure we we were well taken care of, courteous and oh so kind! We learned so much information about Dubai and he was so patient in answering all our questions . We highly recommend Ahmed to be your guide whenever you are in Dubai! Thank you Ahmed! From all of us.
Jon_A, Oct 2025
The hole trips takes some time because of the Dubai traffic, but with a driver who has a lot of knowledge then it will be interesting. A lot about the history of the UAE and the transition from a poor country to a high-quality and high tech country. The royal family has done a Great job here. I will recomend this trip, but buy tickets in advance to Burj Khalifa and also Burj Al Arab if yut want to have a close look and a wonderful view over the City.
GregoryWarren_H, Oct 2025
I chose a city tour plus going to the top of the tallest building in the world. I had a long layover. I needed to be picked up and dropped off at specific times. Everything was accomplished by a very knowledgeable driver.

If you only have limited time in Dubai, this is a great way to get a taste of the major tourist attractions in a day. We spent 8 hours with our driver/guide Rajesh yesterday and really enjoyed it. We walked around the gold and spice souks, had a brief boat cruise on the Dubai Creek, had photo opportunities in front of the Dubai Frame, Museum of the Future, and the Dubai Marina. After lunch (not included) we went inside the Blue Mosque which is a stunning building, and then to the Dubai Mall to take photos around the fountain area and to see the aquarium and Burj Khalifa. Rajesh was kind enough to take many of our photos so that both myself and my husband could be in our photos. We saw many architecturally amazing buildings and learned a lot from Rajesh about life in Dubai. Our thanks to Rajesh for ensuring we saw as much as we could, and for being a very safe driver. The vehicle we travelled around in all day was modern, clean, spacious and air-conditioned.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi David,
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! Our guides including Rajesh always go the extra mile to ensure guests capture great memories (and photos!) throughout the day.
You’re absolutely right — lunch is not included in the tour, but we’re always happy to make a stop at a local restaurant or café of your choice so you can enjoy a meal that suits your preferences and timing.
We’re thrilled you appreciated the comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and the variety of sights. It’s wonderful to know the experience gave you a true taste of Dubai in a single day.
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure!
Warm regards,

My private tour guide Ali did an exceptional job today. From the agenda for the day…what sites to hit first due to the passing time of day, taking into account Dubaiʻs daily traffic, and taking known alternate routes to beat some of the stop-and-go traffic. We covered every site as listed on the Viator app and I was happily exhausted at tourʻs end. For someone whom has made Dubai his permanent home for three years now, Ali is quite knowledgeable about Dubai. I also admire those who speak more than one language and Ali is certainly a shining example. Heʻs worked hard for his tour guide license. I wish him well in his bright future.
Alonso_L, Sep 2025
In principle anyone, but it is our decision to inform friends to use this service in the future.
The guide/driver has made a very deep, and clear explanation on Dubai´s kingdom; history; economy; population; etc.
He coordinate in a very good manner all aspects of the tour and our free time space.
Caroline_P, Sep 2025
What a wonderful tour! We chose this experience because we were leading a small group of students, and had just one day to see all that Dubai has to offer. We definitely made the right choice! It was our last day in Dubai, and though a tour on the last day can be stressful, Rajesh made everything easy for us, by picking us up at our hotel, and arranging a drop-off at directly at the airport with plenty of time to make our evening flight.
Even with a group of very tired teenagers, Rajesh was able to captivate everyone during the entire 9 hour day. We were able to see all of the highlights of both new Dubai and old Dubai in one day, traveling in a comfortable and cool van. A highlight was definitely taking the traditional boats to the souk at sunset. A huge plus - and this cannot be overstated - Rajesh is a wonderful photographer! When taking us to a landmark, he knew exactly where to take the best photos, and then took amazing group and individual photos for us all. We left with not only unforgettable memories, but an album of gorgeous pictures. I cannot recommend this tour with Rajesh enough!
Luciane_L, Sep 2025
I was a bit nervous at first, taking a solo trip to Dubai on my own but my guide Ahmed.S was amazing. I felt very comfortable with him. He showed me around explained a lot of things to me. He even help me take my pictures. Making it very memorable for me. He also bought me a smoothie on my boat ride. He was with me all day. Made sure I see what I wanted to see. After my trip, I was exhausted he took me back to my hotel. I will definitely be coming back to Dubai with family. Hope to have him as my guide next time.

Awesome time today. Hafiz was my guide the whole day and he was awesome. Was patient when I navigated the souks. Took pictures of me by landmarks. I cant say enough good things. This tour was awesome.

We saw everything on my wish list. I couldn’t believe that our guide fit everything into our 5 hour tour! He even went out of his way to take us to the building that looks like Lego blocks! Loved every minute!

A really terrific highlights tour of Dubai when you just have a one day layover. We had plenty of unrushed time at each stop and got a good feel for this very unique city.
MelanieMiller, Aug 2025
Our tour with Ali was one of the highlights of our Dubai stay. He shared with us the history, culture and traditions of the country in an interesting and engaging way. We saw all of the major attractions, but we never felt rushed. He provided all the water we wanted to drink, regularly asked if we needed a washroom, and checked often on how we were doing in the heat. We really appreciated the great job he did!

Our guide was very pleasant. We did our tour at night. Not much was open. Our guide took us around to see some of the cool spots for pictures and it was very informative.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hello Shenaila,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad your guide made the night tour enjoyable and informative, showing you cool spots for photos. Since it was in the midnight, some attractions weren’t open, which may have affected your experience, but we’re happy you still found the tour engaging.

This was a quick way to see Dubai. It was a great tour for a layover. It was just so warm and so out of time that we had to shorten some stops. The guide was great.

I had a fantastic half-day trip exploring some of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks. In just a few hours, we managed to see the Dubai Frame, the impressive Dubai Eye, the luxurious Burj Al Arab, the towering Burj Khalifa, and several other highlights that showcase the city’s incredible blend of innovation and culture.
What really made the tour special was Farhan, our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories and little-known facts at every stop. One fun fact he mentioned really stuck with me: in Dubai, the fewer digits on a license plate, the more expensive it is!
Overall, it was a fun, smooth, and informative tour, perfect for first-time visitors or anyone wanting a quick but rich overview of the city. Highly recommended!
Elizabeth_C, Jun 2025
We had a great morning with Farhan. He was knowlegdeable and was so kind to take photos for us.
We learnt alot about Dubia and it's culture.
We highly recommend this tour.
Thankyou Farahn
