Best City Tour with Ali!

Our guide Ali was very prompt and professional throughout the Dubai City Tour. We really appreciated his comfortable, air-conditioned car and the engaging commentary he shared along the way. Ali knows exactly where to park and how to get you close to all the major sightseeing attractions, which saved us a lot of time. Thanks to his experience and planning, we covered far more of Dubai than we ever could have on our own. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with Mohamed!

Half day tour to Dubai. Even though we had little, Mohamed allowed us to savor some of the most characteristic points of the city, knowing how to combine modernity with tradition. He also turned out to be an excellent guide, a very pleasant person to deal with, kind and nice at the same time. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Dubai/Abu Dhabi sight seeing tours.

It was our first visit to Dubai and we were lucky to have Misha as our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing all information about Dubai and its beautiful sights, old and new. Our tour was seamless and we have wonderful photos to prove it. We were so impressed that we hired Misha to be our guide for our trip to Abu Dhabi. You will have the best experience with Misha and this tour group!
