Few hours trip but it was so detailed.
The Hamdan was knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about Dubai’s history and modern transformation. The transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary was well-planned, giving us enough time to enjoy each stop. A great experience for first-time visitors or anyone wanting to see the best of Dubai in a day.

If you're short on time?
What Was really good was how the guide and driver seemed to work together as a team. It's definitely worth doing a tour to get your bearings and see the must see spots.

Amazing city?
What impressed me most was how much we packed into such a short time. I felt like we got a great taste of Dubai's culture and modern luxury. I think its more than quick intro.

Very disappointing service
Seatbelt wasn’t working, guide had the radio on loudly as he was talking over to tell us about the different areas we were visiting. We had to ask him to turn it down. Wouldn’t pay the money again.

Amazing!
Dubai City tour, Safari, Dubai Mall, Aquarium, Zoo, IMG Park, night dinners, Palm Island and much more...
Our favorite part of our family experience, was the fact we had the BEST!! tour guide in all Dubai, Mr. Sharfan was the most knowledgeable, gracious, respectful, efficient and on time individual I have ever met in the tourism industry.
Having Sharfan next to us, We all felt we did not had to worry about anything, we basically asked and he delivered.
He explained in detail all the UAE history, UAE customs, Dubai and Abu Dhabi tourist sites, daily events and even places to where we could find souvenirs to bring back home to our love ones.
The UAE and his people are very respectful and tolerant to us the visitors. We had great fun and wish all of those who are thinking about visiting UAE and specifically Dubai City, to not think too much, as it will be the greatest vacation that you may have East of the USA :-).
So please do hire ROYAL SMART TOURISM and request Mr. Sharfan as he will make the experience unforgettable.
Sincerely,
Juan Carcamo
