Dubai old and modern tour 012226

It’s a no good experience. Tour Guide Naim is not a good tour guide. He is a third party hired by Arabian. Looks like he was not informed of the itinerary but who knows. The tour is to start 9:00 am but he arrived 10:15 am at pickup point. Not helpful. He inserted a carpet museum instead of the actual itineraries we missed like the Burj Khalifa, Gold Souks with the boat ride ABBA etc which we like. Worst tour ever experienced

A very good experience with Arabian Destination Tourism

Really enjoyed the trip- our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Dubai and its history. Would definitely recommend - our guide has recommended us food/places that otherwise we would have missed.
