It was informative.
Frances_P, Feb 2024
Our tour guide was excellent. He was proficient in English which is a big plus. He gave us a lot of information about UAE. I'm sorry but I couldn't remember his name.
Lovely!
PRINCE_N, Feb 2024
This activity was great. I highly recommend that it should be done in the early days of your visit. It gives you an intro to old and new dubai so that you can decide what to expand on. I loved every bit of it. Our tour guard "Whisky" from ABC Tour and the driver were both very hospitable. Whisky shared his wealth of knowledge with us. The tour was great. I highly recommend this to everyone visitng Dubai.
Terrific overview tour!
Chris_R, Dec 2023
Wonderful tour of old and new Dubai. Whisky was friendly and extremely informative and driver Naheem did a wonderful job. Strong recommend.
Highly recommend-great value for money!
Stacey_W, Oct 2023
This is a great tour especially if you don’t want to spend a whole day seeing the sites! This was 5 hours (plus maybe extra hour to get u back to your hotel). Whiskey is an excellent guide and our driver was equally great. In great hands! It is a bit of a whistle stop tour -where u spend about 15 min at each site. You don’t go inside (apart from walking thru the souks)-but that is what we wanted and gave us a lot of insight into the city. Great value for money
Value for money
Tim_R, Jul 2023
Whiskey (guide) and Mustafa (driver) very good. c5hrs from 8.30am with main sites. Good value for money - vehicle was a little dilapidated but air con just enough to keep you cool - I’m sure a more expensive trip would have been more modern vehicle but it did the job. Travelled end of July so v hot. Just long enough to keep older teens engaged.
Dubai highlights with time for an evening activity as well

Great way to see all the sights with a compressed amount of time. Such a great intro to Dubai trip and tour.
Best of Old & New Dubai
Rose_H, Jun 2023
Our guides were DJ and Michael Jackson and they were the best ever. We learn so much history about Dubai. MJ even did a dance for us. We felt like family after the tour. Our driver was so accommodating. This was an excellent tour. Many of the guest went back to the Souk area the next day as a result of the tour.

Shineka_G, Oct 2022
Whiskey and Karim were amazing. Whiskey was very knowledgeable about Dubai, he spoke clearly and you could understand what he was saying. He was willing to answer any questions we had. He insured we were safe and comfortable at all times. He was a great photographer for our group as well. Definitely ask for Whiskey and Karim
