We had a great time during our transit in Dubai, and had seen all the attractions there, we had a great tour guide, Rajesh, he managed the best time to visit all the attractions. We recommend him to be your next tour guide.

Great Start to our Dubai Adventure

This was a perfect first day activity to get to know what Dubai is all about. Rejesh was absolutely amazing. He had so much information to share. He took great photos of us and prompted us to great photo-taking opportunities. We loved experiencing the spice shop with him and all of the sites. This half-day adventure gave us a great overview and helped us to determine what we wanted to go back to on a future day. The Burj Kalifa is expensive but you can't really go to Dubai and not go to the top. We have such great photos and memories and so much information about Dubai from this tour. Thank you Rajesh.

Rajesh was our guide and...

Rajesh was our guide and provided a lot of knowledge we wouldn’t have gotten without a personal tour. We appreciated the time spent and we never felt rushed by him at any location. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour! In general, we don’t think observation decks are really worth the time or cost, but the Burj Khalifa does offer some really spectacular views, especially at sunset.

A must-do for iconic pics.

This is an excellent way to see the iconic sites of Dubai. We had great photo opportunities throughout the city and were also able to experience Old Dubai on foot. Our guide, Rajesh, was knowledgeable about the history and culture of the UAE. He made the day very fun and enriching. This is definitely a must-do tour.

Great tour!

This tour was a great way to see a lot of important landmarks in Dubai in a short time. Our guide Rajesh was great and told us so much about the city and its history. Our kids (ages 13 & 16) had a good time and learned a lot. Would recommend!
