Excellent guide! - Assim was friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable.
Communication was excellent as he understood us, he spoke English very well and clearly so we always understood him. The car was clean, there was always bottled water. It was a great day & Dubai is a beautiful city. Just wish we had more time to do more things!

Dubai in a day - Asim was a fabulous tour guide. He showed us Dubai from old to new. We never felt rushed or pressured yet we covered everything and learned so much. He has great EQ and understood what was important to us. He even made it to Atlantis in time for sunset despite the traffic! Highly recommend

An Amazing day in Dubai - We have just arrived back at our ship after the most amazing day in Dubai. This full day private tour was worth every penny that we paid for it. The contact before the tour even started was brilliant. Our tour guide and driver Azim, sent me a message the night before to let us know just where he was picking us up from, which was right outside the Cruise terminal. He was extremely welcoming when we met him and immediately explained how the day was going to pan out. The vehicle he was in was large and luxurious. We first went to the older part of Dubai where Azim showed us the shops and gave us an insight into the history of the area. We went into a few shops where we were treated with upmost respect from the shop keepers. Azim was a big help with the bartering and got us some amazing deals. Next we entered the modern side of the City. How amazing this was. We saw all the wonderful modern architecture that fills Dubai. Azim took us into the Giant Mall where he explained where everything was before leaving us to ascend the Tallest building in the world , WOW. What a building.
I would be here for a long time if I went on to tell you everything that we did in this extraordinary 8 hour tour. What I will say is that our guide Azim was a very polite, professional and very well mannered person. He has an astonishing knowledge of Dubai and the history of the Middle East. We had very interesting conversations about all manner of things. This guy is a credit to the company he works for and a credit to his Country. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is planning to visit Dubai. Thank you so much Azim. Keep up the good work.

See Dubai in Comfort with a Passionate Guide - Waseem our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Dubai with us. He ensured we were comfortable at all times and was very efficient in his transit to and from sites to see. Waseem answered our questions and was very informative about history, site details, food recommendations, and shopping. The 8 hour private tour was worth every penny with Waseem.

I would recommand everybody to do this Tour. We just booked different tours for other days, like dessert safari. Cant wait to see the rest.

Dubai layover maximized - Waseem was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating - waiting when flights were delayed, adjusting schedule to avoid unexpected crowds and traffic, and taking us to the best local spots and food that we would never have found on our own. First time in Dubai was great; hoping to come back to do his walking food tour!
