Delighted with tour. Definitely recommend

sarag_l, Apr 2025

Loved every minute of the half day private tour. Farhan was an outstanding guide, extremely knowledgeable, warm and professional. Both adults and children earned so much about dubai. A must if in Dubai. If we knew how good a guide he would be we would have booked an entire day.

Good Highlights. Better Around Mid-Day

Khaled our guide was charming, witty and knowledgeable. He made us see the Frame, the entrance to the Museum of the Future, the Al Seef market, the Gold, spice, garment souls after an abra boat ride on the Creek. His explanations were complete. This Mid Feb day was a mild day with a slight drizzle of rain, a rarely, So st this time of year a mid-day trip outside of heavy traffic hors would give you more time in the Souks to shop for items which are sold at half the price of anywhere else in the City, a third of the price in the Dubai Mall.
