Fantastic Dubai tour! - Ikraam was a fantastic host. We had a 9 hour layover in Dubai flying back to New Zealand and found this tour on his website. I was with my four kids (14-20) and Ikraam picked us up at 2:30am (!) and he was wide awake and full of energy! We toured around Dubai together to old parts, new parts and him and his driver were fantastic hosts. He told us many stories about the history of Dubai and he is a very passionate and fantastic story teller. He showed us many videos of what life is like in Dubai while we were driving. We saw so many incredible landmarks and fell in love with all the amazing sites in Dubai. A perfect length of time and break before the 17 hour flight home. Thank you Ikraam for a fantastic experience!

Private tour dubai - A very good decision: we had almost 7.5 hours waiting at the airport for the connection and we found it a good idea to hire the excursion and take advantage of the time. Our ikram Guide was friendly, fun and very polite. Thanks for your good work.

Excellent tour of Dubai! - We had a 6 hour layover in Dubai and this tour was excellent!!! The guide texted us before our trip and picked us up from the airport for the 3 hour tour that we booked. Customs was pretty quick. It was a perfect amount of time to see the attractions. We wanted to go up Burj Khalifa but all tickets were sold out on their website. Somehow our guide was able to get us unlisted tickets so we appreciated that! I appreciated how he customized the tour for us, and we had great conversation about the culture of Dubai. If you’re thinking about booking this tour I would tell you to go for it - you won’t regret it. Our guide was reliable, professional and knowledgeable, getting us back to the airport on time. Our tour took place at night, which was pretty cool, and I’m so glad we decided to leave the airport instead of staying and waiting for next flight. This was an unforgettable part of our trip!! I highly recommend it.

An enjoyable 1/2 day tour - The entire arrangement was very smooth. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating, he showed us where to take the best picture on each site. We really enjoyed our 1/2 day tour in Dubai. This is a perfect overview, we will know where to spend more time when we come here again.

A Must if it's Your First Time - Dubai may be outrageously warm to most, especially if it's your first time but getting chaffeuered from sight to sight in an air-conditioned car is perhaps the best way to acclimatise yourself. This tour is the best way to get a real superficial feel of Dubai (it is only a few hours long after all) and will help plan your future trips.
