An excellent and insightful tour. Our guide, Hassan, did not bore us at all but kept us interested as we walked through the streets. I would recommend the tastings .
Great experience with the guia Hassan. I would do it again. Thanks
Unfortunately, the tour was canceled on short notice. The meeting point was insufficiently described.
Our experience with Hassan was so amazing! I first want to mention the massive delay between the airport, shuttle to our hotel, and check-in to our hotel which delayed our tour tremendously. Throughout the entire process Hassan communicated so well and continued to wait on us. We explored Old Dubai, it's historic alleys, vibrant souks, and unique landmarks. Hassan also explained Dubai's history, shared his background, and we toured a few museums together. We stopped at a shop to enjoy some wonderful dates with Ethiopian coffee which was unforgettable. Hassan was very professional and welcoming. He negotiated on our behalf to get the best prices for the goods we purchased. We ate lunch together and sailed in a traditional boat before we departed. We would recommend a private tour guide because our experience was very personal and not rushed. He took his time to ensure we received the full value of the money we paid for our tour and more. Hassan has a love and passion for what he does and our time together was so authentic. We cannot wait to bring our family to Dubai and we highly recommend this private tour. We want to mention Malik (driver) as well. He was extremely hospitable ensuring that we felt welcomed. He explained every landmark, told us interesting stories, and made us laugh hard! He took us to the grand mosque and by the sheikh's palace so we could enjoy the wonderful views. Malik was very lively and kind and we would never forget his patience and welcoming demeanor. Thank you Hassan and Malik! We will never forget you.
Pick up and drop off by Malik was efficient and very friendly. Hassan was informative and a great tour guide. Would highly recommend this tour.
Uncomplicated and very interesting, very friendly and competent, explained super well, also in different languages
Excellent experience ! Very pleasant service ! Everything you shared with us was delicious ! Thank you very much 💥💥💥💥💥
Our tour through Dubai Creek and Old Dubai with Seef was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! Seef was an exceptionally good tour guide – friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared the history, culture, and hidden corners of Old Dubai with us with great passion. The abra ride across Dubai Creek was a special experience and gave the tour an authentic atmosphere. Seef explained every stop in an exciting way and took plenty of time for our questions. You could tell that it really matters to him to show his guests the most beautiful side of Dubai. Thank you very much for this unforgettable tour! We can recommend Seef to anyone who wants not just to see Dubai, but to truly get to know it.
Fantastic experience.... I highly recommend it!!! The guide Hassan is a fantastic person, helpful and above all prepared; he gave me some good advice and excellent directions.
We had an excellent experience with Hassan on our tour of the Dubai souks. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Dubai. He took the time to explain the significance of the different markets, gave us great advice on shopping and bargaining, and made sure we never felt rushed. Hassan’s local knowledge really made the tour special. He showed us hidden gems we would never have found on our own and was always happy to answer our questions. He struck the perfect balance between providing interesting information and giving us time to explore. The tour was well organised, enjoyable, and one of the highlights of our time in Dubai. We left with a much better understanding of the city’s heritage and some fantastic purchases thanks to his recommendations. If you’re visiting Dubai and want an authentic, informative, and enjoyable experience of the souks, we couldn’t recommend Hassan more highly. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!
