Recommended first day or first visit experience

Can be flexibly tailor made for interests and energy. Felt very safe and comfortable as woman not in first flush of youth travelling solo. Covered a wide range of Dubai, both the sights viewed and history and culture.

Good way to experience Dubai in a day

Our guide Rajesh was great, very knowledgeable about the history and future of the city and his English was very good. It's a very good tour if you're spending a short amount of time in the city and want to get a general overview. Especially fun was the Old market visit.

Very friendly and helpful guide for wheelchair people.

Our guide, Rajesh was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city of Dubai. He took us directly from the cruise terminal. That was essential because my wife uses an electric wheelchair. He helped us with the wheelchair and adapted the whole tour to my wife’s needs. Rajesh is also a good photographer and took pictures of us and all the things to see in Dubai. We would always recommend him as a knowledgeable and very friendly guide to Dubai.

An eventful and informative day

Hafiz took us around the city all day. He carefully explained the details of each place visited, he helped us take pictures and he was patient while we were taking our time at the gold market, the Burj and etc. We had a great time and feel like we are well informed about Dubai and its famous attractions. Hafiz speaks 6 or 7 languages so I would definitely recommend him as your guide no matter where you are coming from.

We had an amazing private tour of Dubai with our guide, Rajesh! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and took the time to ensure we saw everything we wanted within our package. Rajesh was patient, especially during shopping stops, and even recommended delicious local foods and teas that we absolutely loved. He also went above and beyond by taking fantastic photographs of us at all the iconic spots, capturing perfect moments and poses. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend Rajesh for anyone visiting Dubai!
