The Dubai city tour was great, we had the privilege of experiencing the tour without any other tourists. Our tour guide Ahmat was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that he really enjoys his job. We got to see so many places that would have taken quite some time to see on our own. Definitely very beneficial to have a guide alongside with you explaining Dubai’s incredible history and traditions. Would do again!

I enjoyed every minute of my tour. The guide was very enthusiastic. I felt like I was strolling round with a friend. She showed me every corner of history in the old town and the souks. I will definetely return to Dubai and see her again. I strongly recommend her to all travellers that wish to have a private tour in the historical side of dubai. Thank you

He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and kind! This was the best tour we got in Dubai, from culture, and faith all the way to shopping. Mohammed even helped with the bargaining and he knows the spots for the best quality and prices at the Souks. The way he tells the story of Dubai, and how he explains traditions is amazing. Totally recommend him!

Great day with Ahmed and Jaqoob. We never would have been able to see so much on our own. Having a driver made everything so much easier. They were both extremely friendly, courteous and professional and knew lots about the city. It was a long day, but worth it. We especially loved walking around the Dubai Marina.

Mohammed is an excellent tour guide and photographer. I enjoyed my time with him very much! He is kind, flexible, knowledgeable about the city and the shops. He took his time answering a ton of questions from myself and the rest of the group. I learned so much! I would definitely do this tour again,
