Great Day Touring Dubai With Ayaz.

Today we spend a fantastic day with Ayaz from Heritage Discovery Tourism exploring Dubai. Throughout the day we were able to go up The Frame, go to The Museum of the Future, and see a variety of different souks. Ayaz was very knowledgeable about all the different parts of Dubai and ensured we got to visit all the places we wanted to see. He was very kind and friendly making the day very enjoyable and a great way to spend a day in Dubai. He came prepared and was able to tailor the day the make sure we could see all the thing we wanted, as well as give great suggestions based off what he thought we would like. I would highly recommend it as it is great family friendly activity to do in Dubai.

Highly recommended.

The driver had a lot of idea and gave us enough time to pursue our interests. There was no stressful rushing or turning places or merchandise. Ahmad was very friendly, informative and did not push himself to the fore. Can be absolutely recommended.

So much heart, knowledge and passion!"

An unforgettable experience! The driver/guide (Ahmad) was incredibly personable, warm and had an impressive knowledge of the area. He knew the paths even without a sat nav and has inspired us with exciting stories and many loving details. Every question was answered with patience and enthusiasm. We had enough time to enjoy everything in peace and quiet, and the route could be customized – just perfect! You can feel him doing his job with passion. An absolute heartfelt recommendation! ❤️

Abu Dhabi Tour

Had the greatest trip in Abu Dhabi with this company. Our tour guide, Mr. Ayaz is really knowledgeable on the best spots to see in the emirate, from the Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan and the Palace and all the places around. I was even surprised (and really glad, as I am quite a history buff) that he pointed out the first oil rig in the emirate at the ADNOC Headquarters! Also, I had a special request to go to the Yas Island Circuit (to see the track) and he went the extra mile to tour us there. Mr. Ayaz, I cannot thank you more and your company on providing us the best tour at Abu Dhabi, and hopefully to do it again next time with you and your invaluable hospitality.

Best choice for a private tour

We booked a private tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi with our guide, Ayaz — and it was such a great experience! I loved that we were able to customize our trip based on what we wanted to see and do. Ayaz was very accommodating, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the best of Abu Dhabi. His recommendations were on point — from photo spots to where to eat — everything felt well thought out. Highly recommend this tour if you want a relaxed, personalized day trip!

Awesome tour!

Ayaz was our driver and was super helpful and friendly and very accommodating to our requests! He was very knowledgeable about the areas we were going to and gave very good information about the sites we were visiting. He suggested we add on a separate palace tour and that was an amazing experience! The car ride to and from our hotel was comfortable and clean.
