Good overview of Dubai - be careful with spices
Salome_S, Apr 2024
Very pleasant and helpful guide, but he took us to a spice shop where everyone got ripped off by at least €20-25, compared with neighbouring shops.

Karen_W, Mar 2024
Day started off a bit late but the guide was brilliant - pointed out lots of places of interest on the journey to Dubai, took us to amazing photo stops and places to get a real feel of Dubai and had time in the Mall to browse and have lunch - we’ll worth the trip as I was only in UAE for 2days

We we’re with the family and wanted to show them Dubai. Manuala guided us the whole tourti and through Dubai. With interesting facts she told us so much about Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Wonderful private tour
Heike_K, Dec 2023
We had a perfect day with our guide Salim. He picked us up on time at the port in Abu Dhabi. We had a save ride to Dubai because Salim is an excellent driver. On the way he gave us lots of interesting information about the people and the country. This was awesome. In Dubai itself he led us to all the outstanding points of interest and provided us with useful information. Even on the way back he took a little detour to show us the illuminated mosque in Abu Dhabi. We can strongly recommend our guide Salim.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for being our customer and leaving us a wonderful 5-star review. We are very to know that you enjoyed your trip with Salim and hope to see you again on your next visit.

Sightseeing in Dubai
Patricia_W, Nov 2023
Manuela was our guide and she was so full of energy, we loved having her! As per the trip, it was lots of sightseeing, not enough time to do things such as going up to burj khalifa. But we still enjoyed ourselves.

Instant 8hrs tour in Dubai
Zuzana_V, Nov 2023
Great tour for first time visitor. We saw all the main sights of Dubai just within 8 hours. It would be great to have alternative tour with couple of hours more to manage to visit at least the museum of future or having the same tour with less time on the souq.
Response from Host, Nov 2023

The nice guide gave us very detailed information the whole day and we were able to see a lot of spots in a short time. For tourists with a very short time window, a tour which I can suggest.

The tour guide is very knowledgeable about UAE and even speaks five languages!! I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the main attractions in Dubai. We did this tour the last day of our trip and had a blast!! I would say bring some UAE cash to buy spices at the spice market. Tour provided water which was great!
