We took the private Dubai tour with Shahzad and it was a perfect day. Shahzad knew all the great photo spots and took perfect photos of us. We can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Dubai compactly in one day!
Had an amazing Dubai sightseeing experience with Shahzad Bashir! He was extremely friendly, professional, helpful, and made the whole trip comfortable and enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, guided us very well throughout the day, and made sure we had enough time to enjoy every place, especially the Burj Khalifa. His positive attitude and hospitality made the trip even more memorable. I would definitely recommend Shahzad Bashir to anyone looking for a great Dubai tour experience. Thank you for making the day so special! ❤️
I give 5 stars to our driver and guide Abdul. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied with the trip. He gave us clear instructions and flexibility with our itinerary. He also had a warm and pleasant demeanor which created a very positive vibe throughout our journey. He was an excellent guide. I loved seeing the Palm Jumeirah area, Atlantis, & Burj Al Arab. They were all very beautiful. However, the Museum of the Future wasn’t great in my opinion and there were extremely long lines at Burj Khalifah. We went to the top but spent one hour standing in line to go up and another hour standing in line waiting to go down. I would strongly recommend buying the fast track option which bypasses the long lines. Burj Khalifah staff should find ways to resolve this issue of long lines. Overall this was a nice trip, perfect for first time visitors to Dubai.
Rafeek did an amazing job at the tour. He was very personable and professional. He attended to all of our needs. Would highly recommend for a private tour. Will definitely return in the future.
Really nice tour, with even nicer guide. We had good experience visiting most known places in Abu Dhabi. Totally recommend taking tour with Naseer!
I had wanted a trip with no hassle and our guide Mr Adbul delivered it well! He was able to accommodate to our requests and lead us to efficient use of our short stint in Dubai!
We booked an 8 hour private city tour. Rahi was our tour guide and was punctual, knowledgeable as well as incredibly flexible about what we wanted to see and when. He took good care of us and managed to source all tickets and throughout the trip offered great service. Thank you
