Worth booking

Definitely worth booking if you have a long layover. My guide was Tamour who communicated clearly as to where to meet and kept me updated. I was lucky enough to be the only guest. I think 4 hours would be ideal, but Tamour got me to all the popular sights. He is knowledgeable and informative but also kept the chat informal. I recommend this tour.

Taimoor showed us the highlights of Dubai and told us a lott about the city, the culture and the history. We were warmly welcomed and Taimoor made an excellent effort of also involving the kids (14 and 12) in the tour. Would recommend a tour with him!

First rate guide and experience

Our guide Ali was very knowledgeable and accommodating on taking us everywhere we wanted to see in the four hour tour. Couldn't have asked for more, the pace was good, picked up in downtown Dubai and dropped back at the airport. Communication from the guide on the day was immensely helpful and helped find him in a city we didn't know.

Great experience during a layover

Tamour did a great job. Super knowledgeable. I was the only person on the tour so it became private. Saw several great sites in Dubai during my layover. Great use of time. I'd recommend and would definitely book again.
