Fantastic tour to see all the highlights of Dubai - Our tour with guide Siddique was fantastic. Siddique picked up our family from hotel on time and took us around to almost all the interesting spots of Dubai. Some of the places are even outside of original Itinerary. He is very friendly and gives us much time to enjoy each point of the tour. He told us a lot of history, cultural and interesting facts about the Dubai. We had this tour on the first day of our holiday to Dubai and it gave us amazing highlights of everything of Dubai, so we know very well what we're going to visit after this tour. It is a fantastic tour and we highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Dubai the first time.

A perfect taste of the city old and new! - My tour (with guide Shakeeb) was absolutely fantastic! We hit all of the must-see stops and sights, plus some bonus surprises along the way. It was the perfect choice for a first day overview of Dubai’s gems. I’ve found that the city is best done by road and with someone who can fill you in on the little fascinating details. Shakeeb was full of fun facts and the extra touches he added made the tour feel tailored to me and my interests. I left knowing a lot more about Dubai, it’s customs, architecture and its beautiful people. The best part was getting a list of sights and neighborhoods I want to double-back and explore even further. A great way to fill out the rest of my stay. If you have a choice, I highly recommend this tour group!

A glorified taxi service - To be honest we were quite disappointed with the whole ‘tour’ aspect. The driver was friendly and on time but there was little information given throughout the experience. It was a glorified taxi ride to different destinations across Dubai. We were stuck on the back of the car / jeep and to say it was uncomfortable was an understatement! I’m only 5ft 7 but the space was tight with only a tiny triangular window to see the sights! We loved the abra ride but seemed to spend most of the ‘tour’ in traffic in silence of listening to a conversation with a fellow passenger in Arabic. We were also brought to Saga ‘art museum’ - this is a hilarious stop. Basically a shop - once they knew we weren’t interested in the needlework they literally showed us the door. Overall we did see some of the sights but lacked so much information or explanation. Overall fine for the price we paid but more a car journey rather than a tour in our opinion. Could be so much better.

Best avoid this tour - Very poorly conducted tour. The guide was no at all intended in providing details of what we were seeing. We were shown mostly hotels and often dropped off to see various locations ourselves. Very long periods of silence in the vehicle with aimless driving around.
