A very short visit to Dubai was made epic with our tour guide Ali. He was timely, informative and a memorable personality. Would ask for him again and have already recommended him to another team leader coming to Dubai next month. Thanks Ali - you were great!
-
Ali was fantastic - very knowledgable about the history of Dubai as well as the best places to go in the markets. He also made sure we didn't feel pressured to make purchases every place we went, but every place was so interesting that we did anyway. We walked through the Indian neighborhood, saw a model historical village, rode a boat across the river, and visited perfume and spice shops perfect for purchasing special souvenirs. Highly recommend both Ali and this experience!

Manish did an absolute stellar job in showing and guiding us through the busy streets of „old“ Dubai. Very interesting and insightful activity, would recommend to anyone visiting Dubai. I think it is also very positive that Manish never preasures the visitor to buy something at one of the shops you visit together. He will gladly help should you wish to buy anything due to his good connections with the shops but he will not apply any preasure if you just want to have a look at the shop items. He also provided some insightful details around other cultures living and working in Dubai which was welcomed. Overall, 5/5!

This tour was a great start to our trip to Dubai. We learned so much about the culture and the people. In addition, we got recommendations on where to eat and things to do for the rest of our trip. I would highly recommend this tour. We are a family with teens and everyone enjoyed it.

Melwyn created a personalized experience for us that we appreciated. He was knowledge of Dubai’s history and answered all our random questions. Additionally, he shared his journey to Dubai and his appreciation for the place he now calls home. We also thankful for his willingness to help us throughout our trip.

I arrived in Dubai to speak at a conference and only had about three hours to take in some local sights. I booked a walking tour with Orlina and we visited old Dubai as well as the souks. It was a wonderful experience with Orlina. She is very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time. I would definitely book another tour with Orlina as she was a superb host and tour guide. Many thanks Orlina for making my trip memorable.!

We had an incredible walking tour of Old Dubai. Vibha was an incredible tour guide who has an incredible amount of knowledge and made this tour extremely interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai!!

The tour guide didnt even bother to call us that he cancelled on us neither did the tour company have any information on him cancelling! We did the chasing not him which we found so rude and unprofessional. Ali Abbas was the tour guide. We were baking in the heat and took shelter at the nearest metro station. We rushed to get here cost us 2x taxi payments to get there and back for nothing. After waiting on hold suddenly the operator said the cancellation just came through and would refund us i told him to do it whilst i waited on this premium rate number! Refund done! You need to sort out your service, this was a private tour so more attention needs to be paid and pickup location wasn’t clear either, two locations mentioned! Never again wasted half our day in this baking heat!

The host was very hip on all the local customs and history. Very personable and went out of her way to help us with future activities that we have planned for our visit . Thank you for everything
