Dubai city tour and frame - We had a great tour with Rizwan. We have seen a lot of places, few were visited and most of the spots were a photo-stop. But our guide made sure we were well informed about the places we pass by . Overall it was an amazing trip and I loved the Dubai frame which was our last stop. Get a ticket for extra bucks and visit inside! It’s worth it.

Impressive - Learning the history of Dubai is impressive. The improvements in a very short span of time is unbelievable yet remarkable. Everyone should be eager to visit this amazing city. We have seen the old Dubai and in contrast to the modern part. The preservation of old heritage like al seef is amazing. It was a great tour!

Amazing trip to Dubai - Amazing trip to Dubai! It was an almost 5 hour tour including our pick up from hotel. Our guide Rizwan was a great guide who knows a lot about the places. We visited the old part of Dubai , Museum, Gold Souq and other then went ahead to the modernized part of the City. The Lamer was an impressive transformation of the then sandy old beaches. New attractions sprouted up like the world’s biggest Ferris wheel in blue waters – The Ain Dubai

The city of extraordinary - A trip never to miss! This is a great overview of Dubai! Having Rizwan as our guide who is full of information made this tour excellent. Very attentive to our questions and he is giving us ample time in every stop to explore. We did not felt any rush our guide did not rush and even helped us took photos of everyone in the group. A trip which is definitely worth the money. You learn and get to see quite a bit every part of Dubai.. I can only recommend, especially if you only have a few days in Dubai!

As explained - The trip was very good and the tour guide was excellent. However, I don’t agree with the predatory sales tactics at the Gold souk. I think you actually putting people at risk of being robbed financially there.
The rest the tour was very informative.
