Perfect layover tour

Tamour did an amazing job highlighting Dubai in a such short time span. This was the perfect way to see the city with a five hour layover. He communicated with us 24 hours before the tour with meeting info and his mobile #. Appreciate his flexibility as the flight was going to be late, then ended up being early. He was very knowledgeable about the city and history. Safe driver and funny stories kept the young adults in the family entertained. Highly recommend using this tour if you are in Dubai for a quick layover!

This was worth every penny what a fantastic experience! Tamour was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and communicated well before the pick-up. He took extra care to personalise the tour to my interests and layover time and I even got to sample some Dubai cuisine! Cannot recommend highly enough!
