Whisky is a win

Whiskey, the tour guide was very knowledgeable of old and new Dubai. He was extremely courteous and had a great personality. He kept the tour interactive and had a great sense of humor. His picture taking skills were superb. I will request Whiskey as my tour guide on my next visit to Dubai.

Dubai at a Glace!

Amazing tour! The city tour was very good but the highlight of the whole tour was the 4x4, the driver was fantastic. We ended with a key to our success at the camp, the food was good and the show was worth it. I recommend this tour.

Highly Recommend! Amazing Experience

Amazing experience! A big shout to Shah! He was very professional and hospitable and he ensured that we had a good time. Highly recommend for desert drifting and just off-road sand bashing, ask for Shah. Belly dancing was great! The Pyro dancer was astounding and the Egyptian dancer was traditional and highly entertaining.

Excellent tours and good value

This was an excellent value, touring Dubai, then the desert safari with dune bashing, BBQ, camel ride, henna. The food at the BBQ was virtually never-ending so you more than got your money with on this tour. Our guides were amazing and very safe driving the dunes.

Fantastic city and Safari Desert tour!

I had a very short stay in Dubia, and I couldn't have made a better choice to see the beauty of Dubia and all it has to offer! We booked this tour with ABC tour through Viator. And everything else was stress free thereafter. We were picked up at our hotel in Dubai Marina on time in a nice clean comfortable air-conditioned tourist van with strick covid precautions. Our tour guide was a gentleman, I can't even remember his name (I think Iqbal)but he was wonderful. He had great patience, explained the history and the cultural of Dubai / UAE. In just 5 hours, we were able make stops to each land marks in the city and had the privilege to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The beach at Burj Al Arab, was so very beautiful with turquoise waters off the Arabian Gulf. Crossing the Deira creek on the abras was breathing. And we were able to picking up souvenirs along the way at the spice & golf Souk. Finally, at the end of our city tour, we were privileged by ABC tour who drop off at out hotel, this was sooooooo nice of them because we were able to showered, changed our clothes and was picked up in 45 minutes to go on the second part of this tour (5 hours), which was the Safari Desert for doon bashing, sand boarding, camel rides, the great tasting buffet and the shows. This combo tour was excellent. I am giving it 5 stars. It worth every dollar spent. The shows were fantastic, the fire eaters, belly dance, the bar B que was perfect. We captured the beautiful sunset in the desert 🏜 while listening to beautiful music. Everything and everyone were accommodating and at the same time, everyone implementing & practicing social distancing and covid precautions. We felt sooooooo very safe with both our tour guide. We had a fantastic day and evening. I truly recommend this tour if you have long layover flight or just few days in Dubai. Thank you so very much ABC tour, you guys are professional with great wonderful hearts. I love Dubai, I can't wait to go back with my daughter and for sure, I'm using your tour company ABC tour again..
