We had a wonderful half-day Dubai city tour with our guide, Saad Aka Sam. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely nice. He explained everything clearly and made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We truly appreciated his professionalism and warm attitude. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I truly appreciate your kind words and support. It’s always encouraging to know that my efforts are making a difference. I’ll continue to strive for excellence and look forward to accomplishing even more together! If you have any more suggestions or thoughts, feel free to share.
Our tour guide Saad is extremely knowledgeable regarding the country, culture, and history. He was patient and always made sure we were given the best price when purchasing anything. He was also the best photographer a girl could ever ask for 😀
Thank you for the lovely feedback! 😊 We’re so glad you had such a great experience with Saad—knowledgeable, patient, and a great photographer too! 📸🌟
Spectacular to know the history of Dubai before being the city we know, excellent explanation of the life of Muslims and their traditions, their economic activities, customs, we could enter original homes that are a real cultural heritage, it was amazing to see the distribution of the house, so different to our Western culture. The best thing was the boat ride, there is no way not to love it and taking pictures of another planet comes very natural, it seems you are in a movie. Our guide taught us to haggle in the species market and the gold market and it was a lot of fun. Don’t miss out if you want to know where the ancient merchants lived and made their wealth.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu maravillosa reseña! 🙏✨ Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la historia, la cultura y cada momento del tour. 🕌📚

He was professional, punctual, and made sure we knew exactly what to expect at the souk. He even doubled as a bodyguard and personal photographer! We felt very safe throughout the tour and now have wonderful photos to remember the experience.
