Rajesh and Mr Hira were amazing guides..
Rajesh took really good care of us and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.. can’t wait to visit again to meet you both!
Excellent experience. We saw all the highlights of Dubai. The boat ride to the Old Tiwn Gold Suke was interesting.
Our guide arrived on time, he was very knowledgeable about the area. Abid made it very special by making sure that we have lots of photographs. He was our guide and photographer
We had a wonderful time with Rajesh, our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Dubai and the UAE, and a genuinely lovely human. He shared the history and culture with real warmth and made us feel looked after all day.
The private tour was the perfect way to see both sides of the city. We explored the old souks, crossed the Creek on an abra, and stopped at Zabeel Palace and the Museum of the Future. A highlight was the beach stop with a view of the Burj Al Arab, where we dipped our feet in the ocean. The drive past Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis was another favourite. We finished at the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and travelling in private comfort meant we could go at our own pace.
Rajesh made the day, and we'd happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai. Ask for him if you can!
Rajesh and Heera, you guys were amazing and very knowledgeable with the local history and culture I don’t think we would have learnt so much about Dubai. You were also flexible and patient with us, we appreciate all your help today. We will meet the next time when we come with our kids.
Wishing you both all the best in your future.
This was a private & personalized tour with flexibility. My tour guide, Shehzad was knowledgeable, drove safely & communicated well via WhatsApp before & during the tour. He showed me everything I wanted to see & was flexible to my requests if I wanted to add time or skip certain sites. I highly recommend this tour & tour guide.
We had a fantastic time on our half-day Dubai city tour with Rajesh! As this was our first time in Dubai, it was such a great way to see the city and learn more about its history and culture. Rajesh was very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting and informative. We never felt rushed, and all the stops were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Dubai. Thanks, Rajesh, for such a wonderful tour! We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Dubai.
Our experience with our tour guide ~Shehzad Bashiir was fantastic we saw so many thing in 1 day that we doing it alone would never have experienced , I highly recommend you ask for him if doing this tour he is very professional and very knowledgeable about Dubai .
Our guide, Ahmed, was fantastic. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable - he provided a lot of information about the tourist attractions as well as the history of Dubai and the Emirates states. He was also flexible and willing to amend the tour to suit our preferences. We saw and learnt so much more than I thought we could have in a half day. We strongly recommend this tour.
Our driver was great, very energetic, very respectful, taught us a lot about the culture and the history of Dubai. Would definitely use him again.
We had minor trouble verifying the pickup at the Le Meridien - I did not find the text message. Mr Ahmed was an exceptional guide and skilled, careful driver. He answered our many questions with expertise and candor. We were on sensory overload from the buidlings, artwork, and history of the city. Our fast pass to the Burg was a bit disappointing - not with the timing but the actual visit. It seemed as if there was to be leisurely served refreshments but it was difficult to find a seat and I had to wait 10 minutes to get a cup of cocoa/coffee.
Tourism is down currently. We had Sabhan all to ourselves. He is a very personable young man. Knows his stuff and had a great attitude. So glad we got him. Ride was comfortable and he is a good driver.
It’s a must do layover tour, especially if you have limited time in the city. The tour guide, Rajesh, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and considerate, making the experience enjoyable and stress free.
Fantastic private tour, with super knowledgeable guide. The tour was absolutely perfect to see all the major touristic sites of Dubai, get immersed in the city, and absolutely loved the VIP experience going up at the Burj Khalifa. A big thank you to Subhan!
A truly amazing way of seeing Dubai. Ahmed was an incredible tour guide we literally saw everything we wanted and more.
He also spoke English perfectly and knowledgeable.
Great tour when you are short on time and want to hit the highlights. Tour guide was very friendly and informative
Subhan was such a fantastic guide as he drove us all around Dubai. He answered all of our questions and spoke fantastic English. He was very flexible and accommodating and was such a natural at guiding. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
We were glad to take this half-a-day tour around Dubai. We highly recommend it because the weather is so hot that going around by public transit will be very challenging. Our tour guide Subhan is very polite, punctual and knowledgeable about the history of Dubai. We covered the major attractions of the city including visiting a mosque and learned about its daily prayer ritual. We witnessed the calmness, peace and loyalty inside the prayer room.
Subhan is also an excellent photographer who ensured that we were well centred while capturing most of the sceneries in the background.
We had a great trip. Our guide Rajesh and driver Heera were very friendly helpful and knowledgeable.
We had an amazing Morning Desert Safari with our wonderful guide Mohsin Pathan!
We loved the exciting dune bashing (Mohsin was very experienced), beautiful photos with a falcon and stunning desert views.
Mohsin was professional, friendly, caring and made our tour truly memorable.
Highly recommended for an unforgettable desert adventure!
It covers all the highlights of Dubai! We throughly enjoyed our tour guide.. shehzad
He was very informative and polite!!
This was the perfect tour for our 21 hour stay in Dubai. We saw many beautiful and historic sites that some may not see over several days. Rajesh was a knowledgeable and kind guide! He was very friendly and communicated on pick up times and location. He was great helping us grab perfect photos from the landmarks. We highly recommend!
This experience is tailored to you! Rajesh is so helpful and makes great recommendations. We had a layover of 12 hours and booked the 5 hour private tour. Rajesh picked us up early from the airport, immediately told us we could tell him what we wanted or he could make suggestions. We explained it was our first time in Dubai and we would love to experience as much as possible. We asked him to plan our tour for us. He promptly suggested things to see (not much walking as it was heat of the day) so we did a few stop bys of the museum, museum of the future, iconic buildings, marina, palm island. From there we went up in the Burj Khalifa (amazing), saw the waterfalls and timing was perfect to go out and see the fountains dance. Then he took us to old town, a boat ride, the gold and spice market. I am sure I have missed some things we saw and did. I highly recommend Rajesh! He is very knowledgeable on Dubai and the UAE!
Rajesh was an exceptional guide. Very knowledgeable and we had a great time with him whilst learning heaps about both the UAE plus Dubai history and culture. Rajesh accomodated a request for 1 extra stop so my son could see some ferrari cars which we really appreciated. Great morning out would highly recommend.
It's amazing, the knowledge & experience of Rajesh was exceptional. Will definitely be letting my family and friends know to book this tour
Shehzad Bashir, our driver and guide, explained the tour clearly to us. He was very known and informative. He tailored tour to our needs and was very good with answering our questions. His English very good which was great for us. I would highly recommend this tour and you will have a great time if you are lucky enough get Shehzad as your driver and guide.
I had a wonderful experience around Dubai. The highlight of the tour was the view at the Burj Khalifa
We really appreciated the time, effort & knowledge that Rajesh gave & his commitment to giving us a thorough & wonderful tour of Dubai
Rajesh, our tour guide, was fantastic! He started the night before by proactively reaching out and confirming our tour pickup at our hotel, and then when we got started, he confirmed any changes to the planned tour we wanted to make. He made it informative, informal and fun with fun facts along the way. We hit all of our planned sites, and it was the perfect combination of walking and vehicle touring. While we were here in Dubai at the hottest time of year, Rajesh balanced our touring so we still saw everything while staying cool where possible. Thank you. We recommend 100% 😊
Subhan gave my husband and me an outstanding tour! We went everywhere and never felt rushed! Not only that, but Subhan is very knowledgeable about history and explained everything clearly. You don’t want to miss this tour.
