Communication with the...

NATHAN_H, Aug 2022

Communication with the guide was difficult and too much upselling during the tour and for future tours.

Our tour was booked at 8...

Katherine_B, May 2022

Our tour was booked at 8 the company messaged mme at midnight asking for extra for a 4x4 even though that was wat is advertised. We paid double for this. Visitor we would like a refund. Trip not as described

Over the creek

Lorraine_N, Mar 2022

The creek ride to the Souks and the attention of the guide was excellent Shopping advice and options galore. Attention for my physically challenged guests was considerable and deeply appreciated.

Very exciting and beautiful city with some room for improvement for the tour operator

Max_B, Jan 2022

In the Viator description, a 4WD car was mentioned, before starting, the office wanted to have 100 USD extra charge for a 4WD. After resolving this, the originally 6 h tour was reduced to 4 h together with 50 USD extra charge per hour. The driver was very friendly and competent but we advised to stop the tour after 4 h to avoid extra charges. Also for ~ 1h out of the 4 h was spent just for shopping (gold, herpes), even if we had mentioned before that we just want "look". Excitng city but some room for improvement for the tour operator.

Beautiful sights to see

Scanfrk, Mar 2020

Our driver Rijad contacted us by WhatsApp which was great, all arrangements were made prior to our arrival. He was a little late (10 mins) but we still got all of our time plus he dropped us off at our next tour! He was fun, informative and was just excited to take us all over Dubai to see all the wonderful sights. He even got us on one of the palm leafs, that was definitely a highlight. We were comfortable, he got us water, he carried our bags - a gentleman for sure.

Great Private tour with Rijad!

Amanda_B, Mar 2020

We had a great day tour of Dubai with Rijad! We opted for a private full day tour visiting the old souks as well as the modern marvels! Rijad was wonderful - on time for our hotel pickup, educated, kind, accommodating, and passionate about his work. We learned so much and enjoyed our day! Thanks Rijad!

We Got LUCKY!

Thom_S, Feb 2020

We got luck to find Rajad and have him as our tour guide. Great time, fun, informative, flexible. Ask for him for a fabulous city tour.

Your in Dubai

Meena_T, Feb 2020

Nice to have a customized trip around the city. Our “guide” was more of a driver, not a tour guide. He did not give us historical information about the sites.

Would Not Recommend

Leslie_M, Feb 2020

We had booked a 4 hour tour with the option of additional hours. The tour was so bad we asked to be taken to the hotel after 3 1/2 hours. No communication on what was happening. After being picked up at the port 30 mins after our scheduled pick up time we were taken to the palace and then driven down to Dubai creek for a ferry ride across the creek. Since there was no parking we were dropped off by the ferry and waited 15 mins for our guide to return. We rode the ferry which was very interesting then were completely rushed through the market on the other side of the creek to take the ferry back across. Then we were off to the spice and gold market where we were again pushed through so quick we could not even look at anything. at the end the gold market the guide asked us to wait a minute, he disappeared for about 15 minutes while we were just hanging around in one spot, he walked us back to the beginning of the market and asked us to wait 10 minutes while he got the car. He returned 50 minutes later to pick us up. Once in the car he drove by and pointed out where the car was parked which was less than a 5 minute walk. That was the end of our tour. When the guide dropped us off he mentioned that he wished he had had time to show us some property because his main job was in real estate and he know we had vacation rentals in the state [despite the fact we told him at least 10 times we were not interested in purchasing property over seas.] He insisted if we saw something we would change our mind.

Excellent

Bettina_P, Jan 2020

The driver and guide were friendly and helpful. He took us to all attractions. Highly recommended. Thanks

Very nice tour

Sebastian_K, Nov 2019

Rijad is a great host and it was very nice with him on the souk. The driver could have given more informations while driving through Dubai from one hotspot to another. It was a relaxed time in Dubai visiting f.e. The Palm, gold and spice souk and other Hotspots

Enjoyable Personalised Tour

GolaN_13, Nov 2019

I arranged a private tour for my parents having used Viator before on a tour to Italy. They were very impressed with Rijad's knowledge of the history of Dubai and its landmarks. It was their first visit to Dubai and he made sure the tour was personalised to their interests and preferences. He assisted them in sorting out a trip on the tram to the Palm and also shopping areas for my mum. Great and prompt communication via WhatsApp and emails. I would definitely recommend the tour as the guide. He made my parents feel comfortable and we'll settled during the tour.

the perfect tour guide

MASARU_K, Oct 2019

Our tour guide, Mr. Rijad Ahmad could find what we want to do and where to visit. for us. He was a perfect guide for us.

Great way to see Dubai in a limited time

Andrew_D, Sep 2019

We had an enforced stopover in Dubai due to Emirates changing our flight times. As we had never been to Dubai before and wanted to have a quick overview of the city, we decided to book this private tour. Our guide Rijad was wonderful explaining to us about the history of the city and what it is like for him and his family living there. We started off the tour by travelling on one of the little wooden boats across the river and back again with a stop off at a tourist market. We had another stop at some more markets where we visited a spice merchant. The shop was amazing and I'm sure the prices would have been competitive but, as we were just commencing our holiday and cannot take food stuffs back into Australia, we didn't purchase anything. We also visited the gold souk. We were pretty hot by then and Rijad bought us a delicious cold juice, which was really appreciated. We then drove to and parked at the Burj Khalifa shopping centre and walked to gaze up in amazement at the world's tallest building. We then drove to the shopping centre adjacent to the Hotel Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and stopped for a couple of photos. Finally we drove to the ring road around the "palm islands". By that stage we were both pretty exhausted and were glad to get back to the hotel. Thanks Rijad for a memorable day.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Wow! That was an awesome review with full trip details.. Your review will definitely boost our business and also it's a challenge for us to maintain the quality private tour to all our upcoming guests.

Helpful guide And good tour to cover more places in less time

Ramya_E, Aug 2019

We had only 4 hours for the tour in Dubai. Our tour guide picked us at the airport. There is an extra $25 fee for airport pickup which was not communicated to us until the day of the travel. That was the only negative. But the rest of the tour is really good. Our guide was very helpful to get us the snacks for kids and show all the places. We did cover the market, mall, Burj Khalifa, Burj al Arab - only photo. He left us back at airport. It was super hot at 105F in July.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you very much for your review, we’re happy to know that you enjoyed the trip. Really very sorry for the inconvenience happened as we are not providing airport pickup in this tour but we missed to inform you in the initial time. Hope to see you all again in Dubai!

Nach kleinen...

Ines_B, Nov 2022

Nach kleinen Startschwierigkeiten nahm unsere Tour schnell Fahrt auf. Unser Guide Rjad Ahmad hatte manchen Geheimtipp, fand im Verkehrschaos immer die richtige Spur und einen Parkplatz und schaute nicht auf die Uhr. Am Ende waren wir fast 7 Stunden unterwegs. Fazit: tolle Tour mit sehr viel Spaß

Schöne Fahrt durch Dubai

Silke_K, Oct 2021

Es war ein super Tag mit Abdul! Kann man nur weiter empfehlen! Wir haben viel gesehen und Abdul ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen.

Toller Tag in Dubai

Gerenot_D, Feb 2020

Wir habeb viel gesehen und Dank Rijad wird es für unser ein unvergessliches Erlebnis bleiben. Absolute Weiterempfehlung. Vielen Dank. Fam. Dietel
